FINGER-SCREEN? PRIMARY VIBRATORY SCREEN
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.
The FINGER-SCREEN? Primary Screen is available in standard sizes with widths up to 72 inches (1800mm) with custom sizes engineered based on your application. This vibratory screener is capable of processing high volume production rates up to 750 yards per hour (600 cubic meters per hour).
Vibratory motion evenly spreads material for maximum classification efficiency.
Staggered fingers prevent material bypass.
Cascading material flow helps separate entrapped items.
Unique cam-out surface helps eliminate catching and binding.
Tapered fingers gradually classify and free tangled materials.
Custom-engineered to meet your specific classification requirements.
Modular deck construction permits easy deck replacement.
ROTARY TROMMEL
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.
FEATURES:Material infeed can be through either a bag opener for municipal waste or to a bypass feeder for C&D and other non-bagged materials.
Separation is achieved using GK’s FINGER-SCREEN? for initial separation, a vibratory fines screen, and through the use of GK’s DE-STONER? Air Classifier.
Ferrous separation is also available on the A line, B line, or both.

SINGLE KNIFE DE-STONER? AIR CLASSIFIER
The GK Single Knife DE-STONER? Air Classifier is a fully proven design operating efficiently in various separating applications. This dry classifying system is capable of handling continuous, high volume production.
The completely dry system eliminates water handling and other “wet” system problems, yet can easily handle moist materials. The DE-STONER? Air Classifier combines vibration, fluidization with a high velocity / low pressure air stream to stratify material. Differences in terminal velocity of particles result in heavy items such as glass, metallics, and stones to be removed from lighter items such as paper, plastic and small wood.
The heart of your sorting system
1. Vibratory action moves material, with high density material settling to the bottom of the trough.
2. Fines drop out section (optional) removes smaller particle sizes like broken glass or dirt before reaching air fluidizer.
3. Air fluidizing section blows air through the material and creates turbulence to promote material stratification.
4. Material conveys over the air knife into the air stream. Heavier materials falls through the air stream to the discharge chute.
5. Marginal density material falls on the adjustable landing plate and drops back into discharge chute.
6. Lights materials are carried beyond the landing plate and convey to the end of the DE-STONER?.
7. Ultra light materials like thin film or paper are carried in the air stream to the product discharge zone.
Optional add-on’s include GK’s
Fluff Knife Upgrade or DE-STONER? Drop-Out Boxes.
SUCCESSFUL SEPARATING AND CLASSIFYING APPLICATIONS INCLUDE:
C&D materials

Environmental hazards associated with water separation is thus eliminated along with the inherent mess.
Easily adjustable to obtain varying degrees of separation.
Adaptable to a wide variety of products.
Separates material of different density, or of same density with different particle size.
Virtually jam-proof. No moving parts in contact with material flow.

The heart of the CD-MAX? Recycling System starts with initial separation using General Kinematics proven vibratory FINGER-SCREEN? Primary Screen technology. From there, material is split into two separate sorting lines, A-Line for the overs and B-Line for the unders. On the A-Line, larger material is manually sorted and recovered. On the B-Line, metals are removed from the unders fraction and fines are removed with GK’s secondary vibratory screen. Additional cleaning of the heavies commodity is achieved with General Kinematics vibratory DE-STONER? Air Classifier. Optional processing includes optical sorting or further fines and lights processing on the C-Line and D-Line. Contact GK’s Recycling specialists for more information.

BIVI-TEC? FLEXIBLE MAT VIBRATORY SCREENS
There is a growing need to classify manufactured sand, sand and gravel, waste materials, raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products more effectively. Conventional vibrating screens and trommel screens are very limited when screening materials that cause a build-up on the screen, which results in clogging or blinding of the screen openings.
Developed to screen even the most problematic materials, the bivi-TEC? offers a superior screening solution for Superpave sands, scrap materials, compost, incinerator ash and others. The bivi-TEC? ’s unique dual-vibratory screening process eliminates clogging and blinding of the screen openings to save downtime and increase productivity.
Dual vibration from a single drive is the unique feature of the bivi-TEC? Screen. Two weights, vibrating at the same frequency, move relative to each other which tensions and relaxes the screen mats. The linear momentum of both vibrating movements is adjustable, resulting in open screen surfaces and optimal screening performance.
To assure the most effective screening, high-acceleration forces must be transferred to the feed material. The bivi-TEC? Screen achieves these high forces by dynamically tensioning and relaxing the flexible screen mats using a dual-vibration principle. Enhanced by resonance, one drive can produce two vibration movements. The screen box is accelerated approximately 2g’s while the screen mats can receive up to 50g’s.
Applications, once judged impossible, can now be accomplished with the bivi-TEC? Screen.
THE BIVI-TEC? PROVES TO BE THE BEST MACHINE FOR SCREENING:
Manufactured sands, chips and aglime.
High-moisture materials combined with silt, mud, and clay.
Incinerator ash, trash, waste coal, clay, sand, and slag.
Compost, leafy materials, wood waste, and peat moss. Auto shredder fluff, and shredded tires.
Carpet, wallboard, scrap metal, and roofing shingles.
Fine screening of moist material.
Eliminates blinding and plugging.
Large effective screen area-high capacity.
Effective in all weather conditions.
Highly flexible for varying material requirements.
Long life polyurethane screen mats.
Rugged construction/low maintenance.
Lower energy usage.
Low profile.
Portable test unit available for on-site qualification.
General Kinematics offers bivi-TEC? in partnership with AEI, a licensee of Binder+Co AG.
