SCRAP PROCESSING SOLUTIONS
Capable of handling incredible surges and demands, yet able to keep running reliably and continually for years, General Kinematics Scrap Processing Solutions just keeps going. Starting with the rugged design of the UMO for extreme impacts, surges, and large capacities to the turbocharged High Stroke Feeder for enhanced performance in optical sorting technology, GK’s vibratory equipment fills the void in the scrap processing industry.
UNDER MILL OSCILLATORS
As the first piece of equipment following the shredder, an Under Mill Oscillator (UMO) is an integral machine that is required to be dependable, reliable and rugged enough to handle the high impacts and process flow demands from the shredder.
General Kinematics UMO’s are designed with extra structural and gridwork reinforcement to ensure trough integrity that will withstand the severe conditions found underneath auto-shredders. In addition, GK’s UMO’s provide consistent conveying throughout various surge loads. Specifically engineered for this application, combining GK’s SYNCRO-SHEAR? with the SYNCRO-CUSHION? Drive assembly provides lateral stability and downstops to handle the force of even the largest explosions without damage to the conveyor.
GK frequently works with system integrators around the world to provide the best solution for the most challenging applications. GK’s Under Mill Oscillators have proven reliability and performance, with installations still in operation for over twenty years. Call us to upgrade or replace your existing UMO.

GK’S HIGH STROKE VIBRATING FEEDER
Cutting edge vibratory technology for enhanced material presentation
Challenged by our customers to do more within a limited footprint, General Kinematics developed the High Stroke Feeder (HSF) to create separation, improve on purity / recovery and increase the bottom line.

SECONDARY FINES SCREENS
General Kinematics’ High-Energy Secondary Screens in conjunction with GK’s FINGER-SCREEN? Primary Screen 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.
GK’s Secondary Screens use vibratory action to separate fines from the secondary sort line material. The Two-Mass, low horsepower design has few moving parts for minimal maintenance and maximum uptime. Secondary Screens are heavy-duty with superior wear resistance and durability compared to rotary trommels or star-type screens.
The heart of your sorting system
Increased reliability, higher tonnage capacity and unsurpassed wear resistance make GK’s Secondary Screens the heart of sorting systems around the world. 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.
GK’s Secondary Screen is available in standard sizes with widths up to 72 inches (1800mm) with custom sizes engineered based on your application. Capable of processing high volume production rates up to 450 yards per hour (345 cubic meters per hour).
