Reinforced Load Plate
Pre-screened material is uniformly deposited onto the load plate of the DENSE-OUT® and is transported forward via vibration. The vibratory action begins the material stratification process.

Pre-Screen (optional)
A short TAPER-SLOT® Screen section helps to remove fines prior to the introduction of air. The early removal of fines is an important item that is often accomplished upstream of the DENSE-OUT®.

Vibration Isolation
Isolation springs minimize the transfer of dynamic loads to support structures / foundations.

Adjustable Separation Plates
Refines the separation between marginally dense heavies and lights. Marginally dense materials caught on the adjustable separation plate roll back into the heavies discharge chute.

Fluidizing Zone
Fluidization converts a material mix from a static compact-like state to a dynamic fluid-like state and is a critical component for the efficient separation of bulk materials.  The use of vibratory motion in conjunction with the passing of air through the material mix causes low density particles to rise and high density materials to settle.

Air Knife
A high velocity low pressure controlled air stream blows the lights over a gap with the higher density materials falling through the gap to a fixed discharge chute below. Many applications require a dual knife design with the first knife scalping “obvious” lights and the 2nd downstream knife functioning to further refine the separation at a minimized material burden depth.
