Advantages
Versatile
Separations between 0. 1 and 500 mm
(150 mesh-20").
Capacity up to 800 t/h per
Copes dry and wet also

Superior with moist and stlcky materials.
Copes with hot up to 800C.
Suits shapes.
Copes with "impossible"
Technically attractive
: constant separation.
Simple to dust enclose.
Simple to protect against wear.
Coarser screen cloths with longer life and
near constant
Small units-high capacity.
Low : low power consumption.
Simple installation : low
Economically advantageous
Small in relation to capacity : economy of
space, lower power consumption, cheaper
installation.
Simple construction : reliability in operation,
cheap change of a screen cloth
can be made in about 1 minutes.
Coarser screen cloths : longer life, no
cleaning costs.
