Screening Unit for Accurate Mineral Separation

The Minerals Separator from Rotex is claimed to provide unparalleled screening performance when sharp separations and high efficiencies are required. Specifically designed to meet the demanding screening requirements of minerals applications, the machine provides higher capacity per square foot of screen, continuous operations up to 400°F (205°C), and maximum screening efficiency. According to Rotex, it’s ideal for applications involving sand, potash, salt, clay and borax. The unit’s stacked, multiple deck, tray-access design allows individual screen access without the need to remove all decks. Single deck screen changes can be made in 10 minutes (all 12 decks in two hours). An external drive cartridge allows the machine to maximize product recoveries at temperatures of up to 400°F (205°C). The drive utilizes a support shaft suspension system constructed of sturdy industrial Ujoint bearings and no-maintenance, low torsion center springs. The unit is also equipped with a single reaction cartridge with two spherical roller bearings designed for 200,000 hours of service. According to Rotex, the unique elliptical-linear motion of the machine handles coarse to fine separations from ¼ in. to 100 mesh (6.3 mm to 150 µm) through equal feed distribution, uniform bed depth, and aggressive blinding control. Single or double inlet plenum options with sliding inlet connections with long life Teflon wear rings are available, as is an optional floor mounted suspension stand for installations without overhead support.
