APEX Separation Screeners

APEX™ DRY SEPARATION SCREENERS

 are designed for efficient performance, quick and easy maintenance and cleaning, and increased process "up-time" within your production line.

  • The ergonomic design enables the dry screener to be maintained by just one person!
  • Quick and easy screen inspection, screen changes, and cleaning by one person!
  • Screens can be changed in 80% less time!
  • Inspection of all screens (8 in the 34ft2 machine) in less than 10 minutes!
  • Operator lifted components weigh no more than 40 lbs.
  • Screen panels weigh only 5 lbs.

THE APEX dry separation screener retains the gyratory motion and efficient processing characteristics of the ROTEX® Gyratory Screener and incorporates new ergonomically-designed performance and service features. This design and these features allow for quick inspection and servicing of the machine, resulting in true and quantifiable process savings

How It Works
Gyratory motion rapidly distributes, stratifies, and separates

The unique gyratory-reciprocating motion begins with a horizontal circular motion at the feed end that immediately spreads the material across the full width of the screen.

Gyratory motion - dry separation screeners
1. Circular motion at feed end

The circular motion gradually diminishes along the length of the machine to an elliptical path, and finally to an approximate straight-line motion at the discharge end.

2. Changing to elliptical motion at center

This motion allows the machine to process material at a higher capacity and improves dry screening performance for near-size material.

3. Straight-line motion at discharge end

There is no vertical component to this motion – thus keeping the material in constant contact with the screen surface.

Installation Options
Floor Mounting

The low transmitted forces of the ROTEX counterbalanced drive allow the unit to be floor mounted in properly designed structures where some other types of equipment cannot. Mounting may be directly on the floor or on an elevated structural steel framework, the elevated position permitting drums or other equipment to be located under the machine. ROTEX application engineers can recommend a stand for any specific dry screening application.

Cable Suspension

APEX Dry Separation Screeners can be cable-suspended from the four corners of the machine, thereby isolating out-of-balance screening forces from the surrounding structure. Accurate counterbalancing of the APEX Screener makes this installation option possible. If the existing overhead structure is not suitable for cable suspension, or is structurally unable to support the cable-suspended unit, the APEX Screener can be suspended from a floor-mounted cable support stand. As with conventional cable suspension, this option effectively isolates the horizontal out-of-balance screening forces, helping to minimize costs for new structures as well as permitting the use of older structures which might not otherwise support cable-suspended equipment.
