Benefits include:

• Low Maintenance    
• Proven reliability    
• Robust construction for improved fatigue life    
• High specific feed rate and capacity resulting in reduced plant size   
• Stress concentrations eliminated by the use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

Concept

Linear motion is produced by the action of counterweights on separate shafts, geared together to produce a straight line ‘throw’. The mechanisms direction of rotation does not affect the pattern of motion. Linear motion provides excellent performance in applications such as wet screening, desliming and dewatering, due to the ability to break the surface tension between deck apertures and the pulp being screened

Technical Support

Screen capacities vary widely depending on the material characteristics and the separation required. The Process and Application Engineers at Linatex utilise not only their many years of developing local applications but also the experience of worldwide installations to ensure that they optimize the best screen requirements available. The following data should be made accessible to facilitate the sizing procedure:

*  Type of material to be screened 
*  Feed Rate
*  Bulk density of material  
*  Requirements in terms of cut point and efficiency    
*  ph of material or wash water  
*  Particle Size analysis

Linatex stock a comprehensive range of spare parts and all equipment carries a one-year warranty
