How Motion Type Affects Performance
Elliptical Motion (ETE Series - Horizontal)
- Longer material retention time ensures more sizing opportunities.
- Exceptional blinding reduction compared to standard strokes.
- Best for: sticky, wet, and flaky feeds.
Circular Motion (STE Series - Inclined)
- Relies heavily on gravity for high throughput.
- Simple maintenance profile.
- Best for: dry, coarse aggregates and bulk sorting.
Linear Motion (Banana)
- Multi-slope efficiency designed to thin out deep beds rapidly.
- Ultra-high capacities in massive operations.
- Best for: iron ore, high-tonnage bulk materials.
Real-World Selection Scenarios
Scenario 1: Quarry with 15% Moisture
- Problem: Blinding on inclined screen.
- Solution: ETE horizontal with 35° ellipse.
- Result: 40% efficiency gain with significant drop in blinding.
Scenario 2: Mobile Crushing Plant
- Constraint: 3.5m height limit for transportation.
- Solution: ETE1860 horizontal screen.
- Result: Fits transport envelope without structural rebuilding.
