Star screening machines / disc screening machines
Star screens Type: AST / disc screens Type: ASC
S&F star and disc screens are suitable for screening damp material, such as compost, bark etc., as well as for rough pre-screening of other bulk materials.
Areas of application
S&F disc screens and star screens are used in the wood processing industry (sawmills, waste wood incineration plants, power stations, by manufacturers of wood fuels), in the recycling industry (waste wood processing plants, waste wood operations, recycling operations, RDF plants or refuse derived fuel plants, composting sites) as well as in many other industries.
Function description of the star screen
The S&F star and disc screens consist of numerous shafts aligned parallel and at the same distance to each other which are fitted with side-by-side rotating star or disc type wheels. The screening stars or discs are arranged so that square or rectangular openings are produced. The shaft spacing determines the size of the respective openings.
The star and disk screening machines are fed by a dosing system or conveyor belt. The smaller fraction falls through between the stars, while the larger fraction is moved along further on the screening surface by the rotation of the shafts. The larger fraction is moved along the screening surface by the rotating shafts until it is thrown off at the end of the screen.
Star and disc screens can be used horizontally or at a slight incline. They are characterized by vibration-free operation and, due to the fact that they do not clog easily, they are suitable for grading damp and difficult to screen bulk solids as well as for screening out over-lengths.
- Highest throughput rate for damp materials and low space requirements
- Highly reliable
- Low maintenance and repair
- Sturdy construction
- Low maintenance costs
- Self-cleaning system thanks to plastic screening stars
- Particle size can be changed by changing the speed of the screen deck
- High degree of selectivity even when damp material is loaded
- Service-friendly design
- Any fraction can be selected
- Special controls for individual adjustment of the screen deck speed
- Screening results can be set by the stars or discs and speed control
