Phosphate fertilizers

Perfect separation for phosphates

Phosphate fertilizers

Perfect separation for phosphates

Super phosphate (SP), triple super phosphate (TSP) or double super phosphate (DSP) as well as diammonium phosphate (DAP) and monoammonium phosphate (MAP) are mainly used as fertilizers and are subject to strict quality requirements. Since phosphate fertilisers are produced in large quantities of several hundred tonnes per hour, even small efficiency deficits lead to high product losses. The aim of the screening process is to achieve high product purities at maximum throughput - and this can only be achieved by preventing clogging of the screen meshes.

Nitrogen fertilizers

Best screening results for nitrogen fertilizers

Nitrogen fertilizers

Best screening results for nitrogen fertilizers

The screening tasks in the processing of nitrogenous fertilizers such as ammonium sulphate (AS), ammonium nitrate (AN), calcium nitrate (CN), potassium nitrate (KN), calcium ammonium nitrate (KAS) and urea range from lump separation to the demanding separation of product fractions as well as dust removal. Screening nitrogen fertilizer with high efficiency and throughput requires precise adjustment of all machine parts as well as a well-functioning self-cleaning system, since urea and co. tend to bind air humidity in the dust fraction and thus clog the screen cloth.

Sugar

Perfect vibrations for sugar sifting

Sugar

Perfect vibrations for sugar sifting

To properly separate sugar requires the application of a high frequency directly to the material. The reason is, that sugar can become sticky even at low humidity levels and also tends to clog the sieve mesh, due to its crystalline grain shape. Screening machines with direct excitation of the screen mesh have therefore proven to be not only energy efficient, but also extremely precise. Thanks to the high accelerations, they reliably separate even finest sugars into several fractions simultaneously.

Building Materials

Efficient separation of building materials

Building Materials

Efficient separation of building materials

Building or construction materials like sand, plaster, and gypsum require strict quality control through precise screening processes to separate larger lumps, sort fractions, and remove dust, with machinery adjustments and self-cleaning systems helping to prevent blockages and ensure efficient operation. Recycling these materials reduces waste and resource dependence while producing high-quality, eco-friendly alternatives that meet industry standards.

Metal Powder

Efficient separation of metal powders

Metal Powder

Efficient separation of metal powders

Efficient separation of metal powders
High-alloyed metal powders for 3D printing (additive manufacturing/ rapid technology) should be extremely pure to guarantee a high-quality end product. Dust and agglomerates must therefore be reliably removed from the extremely fine powder during production and recycling. A suitable screening machine should not only be highly precise, but also reduce the loss of valuable product and machine downtime to a minimum.

Vibrating screening machines with direct excitation of the screen cloth

In contrast to conventional screeners, the vibration in these screening machines is generated by a high-frequency rocker shaft movement directly on the screen cloth.

This allows the precise and energy-efficient separation of even the finest and most difficult to screen materials.

Our products

Screening machines with double-frequency drive

In this particular type of drive, two unbalance motors with different speeds are used. Upstream, a large oscillation amplitude ensures the loosening and removal of the material, while downstream, a small oscillation amplitude at higher acceleration ensures that even difficult to screen products are classified accurately.

Screening machines with linear vibration

Linear vibrating screens are a cost-effective alternative to directly excited screening machines. They can be supplied with several screen decks on request and are available in tailor-made special designs. Their low-maintenance unbalance motors and good accessibility through large inspection openings simplify maintenance tasks.

Screening machines for wet classification and dewatering

By overcoming cohesion forces, our high-performance dewatering screens achieve maximum dewatering of solid particles from suspensions with optimized residual moisture content for particles down to less than 1 mm. In wet processing, the precise screening technology ensures efficient disagglomeration of the material and thus optimum separation of coarse and fine material.

Our products

Conveyor technology: Conveying systems, feeders and distributors

We offer product-friendly, customized conveyor technology for the transport and dosing of bulk materials, dividing them into uniform product streams or feeding downstream machines.

Depending on the selected design, it is even possible to design conveying and distribution devices with integrated pre-screening.
