TAPER-SLOT® Vibratory Screen

Battleship Tough Vibratory Finger Screen


The innovative long-stroke TAPER-SLOT® Vibratory Screen is designed to excel in challenging applications that conventional vibratory screens cannot handle. It is ideally suited for non-uniform and difficult-to-screen bulk materials. The combination of long-stroke vibratory action and screen design provides smooth, continuous, material flow and efficient separations.

For stickier applications, including C&D materials, you can now select a SUB-PAN FREE® long-stroke TAPER-SLOT® Screen with classified fractions discharging directly into a bunker or onto a take-away conveyor. The SUB-PAN FREE® option is the right choice for sticky applications, eliminating material build-up, wear, and related sub-pan maintenance items.

BENEFITS

Unlike conventional vibratory finger screens, the highly efficient TAPER-SLOT® Vibratory Screen, with lateral wedge members offers the following benefits for superior screening performance:

Conventional Finger Screen

TAPER-SLOT® Screen

  • HANG-UP ELIMINATION

    Lateral wedge deflectors prevent material from shifting laterally and catching under or wrapping around finger tips, thus allowing the screen to remain clean for maximum screening efficiency.

  • ACCURATE SIZING

    Lateral wedge deflectors prevent longer, often oversized materials from shifting sideways under a finger tip and falling into the accepts.

  • ULTRA–RIGID

    Lateral wedge deflectors prevent undesirable “finger–bending” and function as gussets under each finger to provide the ultimate in rigidity for long screen life.

  • SELF-RELIEVING

    Staggered fingers and divergent openings allow particles the opportunity to self-relieve / cam-out.

ADVANTAGES

  • No plugging, blinding, or hang-ups common to conventional perforated or wire mesh screens
  • Accurate sizing
  • Screen multiple sizes per unit
  • High throughput performance
  • Easy to install, maintain, and operate
  • Screen sections are modular and easily changeable
  • Eliminates belt conveyors
  • Does not "fluff" or increase material volumes of lightweight materials such as paper
  • No periodic stops or re-tunes due to material wrapping around fingers, discs, shafts, gears, chains or sprockets
  • Safe. Unlike trommels (rotating perforated cylinders), the TAPER-SLOT® Vibratory Screen isn't dangerous to fix and maintain
  • Minimum horsepower and operating costs
  • Distributes material flow at a regulated rate to downstream equipment such as a sort line or grinder
  • Each TAPER-SLOT® Vibratory Screen is customized to meet application requirements including apertures with optimized open area
