This new Vibroscreen Flo-Thru low profile screener from Kason classifies bulk material into three fractions at high rates. It employs two screening decks and two unbalanced-weight gyratory motors mounted on opposing exterior sidewalls of the unit, instead of one motor positioned beneath the screening chamber, which reduces minimum height requirements significantly.
According to Kason, vibratory classifiers have many applications in recycling, since it often involves sorting of materials by size before processing, whether the incoming materials are already of various sizes, or are reduced in size by cutters, shredders, mills, crushers or other size reduction equipment. For example, many plastics being recycled are reduced in size, and then go through a screener to both scalp oversize particles such as labels and foreign materials, and to remove dust and grit, leaving on-size particles to be recycled. Similarly, glass that is reduced in sized is often classified, allowing the different fractions to be utilized as is or reprocessed. Similar applications exist in recycling of rubber, metals, lab scraps, etc.
Kason’s Vibroscreen Flo-Thru design allows vertical alignment of the top inlet and bottom outlet, allowing the smallest fraction to descend through the screener in a straight-through path at high rates. The larger fractions are ejected through spouts at the peripheries of the coarse-mesh upper screen and fine-mesh bottom screen. The Flo-Thru design is offered in diameters from 460 to 2,135 mm (18 to 84 inches) and available to 3-A, FDA, BISSC and other sanitary standards, as well as to UL, ATEX, CSA and CE electrical standards.
