MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE (MSW) SORTING SOLUTIONS
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), more commonly known as your household trash, consists of packaging, and other items you dispose of at your curb every week. The challenge with processing MSW is the extreme physical characteristics associated with various commodities in the waste stream. Food scraps, newspapers and miscellaneous soft, flexible bagged material commingle with other contaminants like concrete, batteries, propane tanks, Christmas lights and chains that can damage traditional rotary equipment. GK’s proven technologies are the heart of MSW Sorting Systems around the world.
FINGER-SCREEN? 2.0 PRIMARY SCREEN
General Kinematics FINGER-SCREEN? Vibratory Separator for resource recycling has become an industry icon and proven in hundreds of applications around the world. Now, General Kinematics has raised the bar again. The new FINGER-SCREEN? 2.0 Primary Screen takes screening to the next level. Featuring all the benefits of the original, this new design in tandem arrangement, provides a longer displacement that moves traditionally difficult to screen materials.
Great for MSW, C&I and Single Stream applications, the superior performance of vibratory processing with GK’s unique FINGER-SCREEN? deck delivers highly efficient separation and classification. Like the FINGER-SCREEN? Primary Screen, FINGER-SCREEN? 2.0 features an enhanced vibratory action that spreads material across the deck 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 improved as material freely cascades down the deck with less plugging, trapping, or pegging. The result: continuous, dynamic material flow to optimize separation and classification.
The FINGER-SCREEN? 2.0 boasts more energy, faster travel rate, and a higher lift for challenging materials including garbage bags, yard waste, and other lightweight, flexible materials. The longer displacement allows the unit to push through the elastic range of these materials more effectively. Unlike Rotary trommels, which aerate materials, cause blinding and pass long pokers with a high level of daily cleaning and maintenance requirements, FINGER-SCREEN? 2.0 separates materials based on 3D sizing with minimal blinding and minimal housekeeping. When used as the primary screen, FINGER-SCREEN? 2.0 provides the initial size separation which scalps off any potentially destructive contaminants, allowing the rest of the downstream equipment to operate effectively.
The FINGER-SCREEN? 2.0 Primary Screen is available in standard sizes with widths up to 96 inches (2400mm) with custom sizes engineered based on your application.
Vibratory motion evenly spreads material for maximum classification efficiency.
Longer displacement to screen traditionally difficult materials.

DE-STONER? AIR CLASSIFIERS FOR MSW
The General Kinematics DE-STONER? is a performance-proven method of separation and classification for a wide range of materials.
How the DE-STONER? works
Energy-efficient vibratory action and high velocity, low pressure air streams work in tandem to fluidize and stratify commingled materials according to differences in terminal particle velocity. Many DE-STONER? systems are designed with “air curtains” to provide further separation after the initial cut of “heavies”. The result: fast, efficient removal of heavy materials such as stones, metallics, and glass from lightweight materials such as aluminium, paper, plastics and wood.
Simple, dependable dry system
Our economical, completely dry DE-STONER? system eliminates the need for a water supply and other attendant “wet” system problems. However, the DE-STONER? can easily handle moist materials.
The DE-STONER? uses air instead of water to separate heavy product from light product, eliminating the mess and environmental hazards water separation creates.
Virtually jam-proof design with no moving separator parts.
Inherently simple, fully isolated design minimizes foundation requirements.
Versatile design separates material of different density, or equal densities with varying particle size.
DE-STONER? driven by energy efficient low horsepower motor.
Rugged, heavy duty construction withstands 24-hour operation
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.

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
ncreased 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.
