3-Fraction Star Screen

The Ultimate Screening Flexibility.

Produce three value-added products from just one single material stream with a Backers 3-fraction star screen. The Backers 3-fraction star screen generates huge volumes of precisely screened material at a very low cost per hour.

First, material is fed into the hopper where it moves across the screening deck by rotating stars. The material is loosened by the stars on the coarse deck, passing the midsize and fine fractions to the second deck, while the oversize is discharged off the front. The medium and fine particles are screened again on the lower deck, with each of the final fractions being discharged off the side and rear of the machine. Single pass, three products!

Wet and sticky isn’t tricky with Backers!
