FINGER-SCREEN™ PRIMARY VIBRATORY SCREEN

General Kinematics patented FINGER-SCREEN™ Primary Screen design concept for resource recycling has proven to be highly successful in a wide range of applications that are prone to process challenges common to other types of screening media.

The heart of your sorting system
The superior performance of vibratory processing with GK’s unique FINGER-SCREEN™ deck delivers highly efficient separation and classification. The vibratory action spreads material across the deck thereby lowering the bed depth for maximum utilization of the screen area. Tapered finger designs along with unique cam-out surfaces and staggered positions help to prevent material bypass. Separation performance is further enhanced as material freely cascades down the deck with less plugging, trapping, or pegging. The result: continuous, dynamic material flow to enhance and optimize separation and classification.

The FINGER-SCREEN™ Primary Screen is available in standard sizes with widths up to 72 inches (1800mm) with custom sizes engineered based on your application. This vibratory screener is capable of processing high volume production rates up to 750 yards per hour (600 cubic meters per hour).

FEATURES:
Vibratory motion evenly spreads material for maximum classification efficiency.
Staggered fingers prevent material bypass.
Cascading material flow helps separate entrapped items.
Unique cam-out surface helps eliminate catching and binding.
Tapered fingers gradually classify and free tangled materials.
Custom-engineered to meet your specific classification requirements.
Modular deck construction permits easy deck replacement.

ROTARY TROMMEL

GK Rotary Trommels are designed to efficiently separate and size recyclable material that is prone to sticking or jamming in other secondary separation technology. Heavy-duty drive systems and trommel bodies are easy to clean and easy to maintain. Super-duty trommel designs impart greater impact force to the product and are optimized for materials such as glass recovery and shingle processing. For more information on rotary trommels, contact a GK Recycling Technology expert.

FEATURES:
Material infeed can be through either a bag opener for municipal waste or to a bypass feeder for C&D and other non-bagged materials.
Separation is achieved using GK’s FINGER-SCREEN™ for initial separation, a vibratory fines screen, and through the use of GK’s DE-STONER® Air Classifier.
Ferrous separation is also available on the A line, B line, or both.

Find out why recycling professionals around the world are choosing the FINGER-SCREEN™ 2.0 to replace trommels to reduce blinding and downtime!

SINGLE KNIFE DE-STONER® AIR CLASSIFIER

The GK Single Knife DE-STONER® Air Classifier is a fully proven design operating efficiently in various separating applications. This dry classifying system is capable of handling continuous, high volume production.

The completely dry system eliminates water handling and other “wet” system problems, yet can easily handle moist materials. The DE-STONER® Air Classifier combines vibration, fluidization with a high velocity / low pressure air stream to stratify material. Differences in terminal velocity of particles result in heavy items such as glass, metallics, and stones to be removed from lighter items such as paper, plastic and small wood.


The heart of your sorting system
1. Vibratory action moves material, with high density material settling to the bottom of the trough.
2. Fines drop out section (optional) removes smaller particle sizes like broken glass or dirt before reaching air fluidizer.
3. Air fluidizing section blows air through the material and creates turbulence to promote material stratification.
4. Material conveys over the air knife into the air stream. Heavier materials falls through the air stream to the discharge chute.
5. Marginal density material falls on the adjustable landing plate and drops back into discharge chute.
6. Lights materials are carried beyond the landing plate and convey to the end of the DE-STONER®.
7. Ultra light materials like thin film or paper are carried in the air stream to the product discharge zone.
