MS screener provides equal feed distribution

Rotex Europe has announced the installation of the first MS Screener in Europe.

Rotex Europe has announced the installation of the first MS Screener in Europe. Sold and installed in The Netherlands to a very important company (which prefers to keep its anonymity) in the Agro Processing field, the MS Screener is the perfect solution to all screening requirements at high temperatures and large volumes. The MS Screener provides unsurpassed screening performance when exact separations and high efficiencies are required, and maximises product recoveries at material temperatures up to 200andordm; C.

Specifically designed to screen fine products at high capacity, the MS Screener provides excellent screening performance due to equal feed distribution to all screen decks, uniform bed-depth across the entire screen surface and a reduction in screen blinding, due to the use of durable declogging balls.

The stacked, multiple-deck, tray access design allows for individual screen access without the need to remove all decks.

A patented Lift- Rail system enables easy installation and removal of the screen frame.

Access and maintenance are simple with single decks being able to be changed in ten minutes - with all 12 decks changed in just two hours.

The screen deck is sloped to an angle of six degrees, which maximises screen efficiency and meets demanding product specifications.

An easily accessible external drive cartridge allows continuous operation at temperatures up to 200C and is designed for 200,000 hours of service.

The MS Screener utilises a support shaft suspension system with industrial U- joint bearings and no maintenance, low torsion centre springs.

An optional floor-mounted suspension stand is available for installations without overhead support.

Abrasion-resistant steel construction and 'rockbox' landing areas allow for repeated impact on high-wear surfaces.

The MS Screener incorporates a new silicone seal system that press fits into place without adhesives.

The seal is universal throughout the machine providing exceptional sealing between screen decks on fine separations.

A unique sleeveless brush system on the discharge doors eliminates traditional connecting sleeves for quicker screen deck access.

Integral vent connections enable enhanced dust control on dustier materials.

This newly designed product demonstrates that the food industry remains a key market sector for ROTEX EUROPE, in addition to mineral, chemical and plastic applications.
