SCREENING & CLASSIFICATION
General Kinematics vibratory screens and classifiers separate material by size or density. Multiple cuts can occur in each machine when required. GK Two-Mass designs help eliminate blinding with higher energy imparted to the material and with superior performance. In addition, the Two-Mass design means the unit will never dampen out in overload conditions compared to direct drive designs.
FINGER-SCREEN? SPECIALTY ROD DECKS
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.

FINGER-SCREEN? VIBRATORY SCREENERS
The FINGER-SCREEN? vibratory screener is a patented, non-binding design concept for resource recycling. This screening separation machine has proven to be highly successful in a wide range of applications that are prone to hang-ups common to conventional wire mesh screening surfaces.
HOW IT WORKS
The superior performance of vibratory processing and the simple jam-proof movement over our unique FINGER-SCREEN? delivers highly efficient separation and classification. The units vibrating motion spreads material evenly across the deck for maximum separating efficiency. Our team offers the vibratory screeners in multiple sizes of separating decks to enhance classification while staggered finger positions help to prevent material bypass. Separation performance is 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.
Vibratory motion evenly spreads material for maximum classification efficiency.
Staggered fingers on the vibratory screener prevent material bypass.

SINGLE KNIFE DE-STONER? AIR CLASSIFIER
The GK Single Knife DE-STONER? is a fully proven design operating efficiently in many tough separating applications. It is the only dry classifying system 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.
Vibratory action and high velocity / low pressure air streams fluidize and stratify material according to difference in terminal velocity of particles to remove heavy items such as glass, metallics, stones, dirt, etc.
How it works
Vibratory action moves material, with high density material settling to the bottom of the trough.Fines drop out section (optional) removes smaller particle sizes like broken glass or dirt before reaching air fluidizer.
Air fluidizing section assists in stratifying material.
High velocity, low pressure air stream is directed through material flow.
Material conveys into air stream. Heavier materials fall through air stream to discharge chute.
Marginal density material is caught on adjustable slope plate and falls back into discharge chute.
Acceptable lighter materials are carried beyond plate and travel to product discharge.
Ultra light or thin film materials like paper and plastic film are removed through air exhaust on stationary hood over discharge.
