Screen Smarter

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.

General Kinematics non-blinding FINGER-SCREEN™ Grizzly Screens have proven their highly successful design in a wide range of applications, including those that are prone to hang-ups common to conventional wire mesh screening surfaces. GK finger decks are made of abrasion-resistant steel and are self relieving to drastically improve screen life in comparison to wire-mesh screens. Improve your efficiency and lower your maintenance needs with General Kinematics.

The FINGER-SCREEN™ Grizzly Screen provides a pan component at the feeder that begins to separate the material. Mounted on springs, the feeder is vibrated, causing the material to move along and be sifted as it moves toward the discharge end. The discharge end has a grizzly section with outlets that cause the undersized or finer material to depart before entering your crusher. Scalping the amount and size of the material before it enters the crusher can increase efficiency and decrease wear on your equipment.

General Kinematics’ non-binding FINGER-SCREEN™ Vibratory Separator for Wood has proven to be highly successful in a wide range of applications, especially ones prone to problems common to conventional wire mesh screening surfaces.

Our vibratory separator’s superior processing improves your sorting.  And the simple jam-proof movement over our unique FINGER-SCREEN™ Vibratory Separator delivers highly efficient separation and classification. The unit’s vibrating motion spreads material evenly across the deck for maximum separating efficiency.

Multiple size-separating decks enhance classification while the staggered finger positions prevent material bypass.

Separation and screening performance are enhanced as material freely cascades through the unit with less “trapping”.The result: fast, smooth continuous material flow throughout the entire separation and classification process.

General Kinematics FINGER-SCREEN™ Rod Decks are designed for separation of difficult material that is prone to sticking or blinding in traditional screening applications. The secret behind the rod decks ability to perform lies in the flexibility of the individual rods within the deck section, while maintaining the designed screening tolerance.

The heavy-duty design of GK Rod Decks allows for abrasive, heavy, wet, or otherwise difficult material to easily cascade through the sorting area.
The high-stroke capabilities of the GK’s FINGER-SCREEN™, combined with the flexibility of the engineered rod deck assemblies, creates a versatile and high performance screening solution to maximize sorting in your process application.

In some C&D Recycling processes, there is a need to screen materials to achieve fines separation. The usual methods of using trommels, star screens, and rotary shaft screens have been known to tangle material and create multiple issues leading to a shutdown. The bivi-TEC® was developed with this in mind, using a GK FINGER-SCREEN™ Deck […]

General Kinematics Rotary Trommels

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.

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