ETE Series horizontal screens use a triple-shaft elliptical motion that keeps sticky, wet, or flaky material moving. Operators can tune the ellipse shape and angle for rapid scalping or precise fine screening, all in a low-profile package for mobile and retrofit plants.
HORIZONTAL VIBRATING SCREENS — ETE SERIES
ETE Series horizontal screens use a triple-shaft elliptical motion that keeps sticky, wet, or flaky material moving. Operators can tune the ellipse shape and angle for rapid scalping or precise fine screening, all in a low-profile package for mobile and retrofit plants.
ETE Series keeps the horizontal screen stable with a triple-shaft elliptical throw, so sticky or wet feeds clear fast without sacrificing accuracy.

Designed for easy integration of high-pressure spray bars. The unique elliptical motion aggressively agitates the material bed, allowing water to thoroughly wash aggregates, sand, and ore, preventing blinding even with heavy clay content.
By adjusting the ellipse angle to be more aggressive, the ETE series handles high-volume, sticky feed directly from primary crushers or heavy feeders. The robust frame and shock-absorbing spring suspension withstand the impact of large, coarse materials.
When tight cut points are required, the stroke angle can be tightened. This delays the flow of material over the deck, increasing retention time and allowing near-size fine particles ample opportunity to find and pass through the apertures.
Unlike standard single-shaft circular screens or twin-shaft linear screens, the GELEN ETE Series utilizes three synchronized shafts grouped in a precisely aligned mechanism to generate an intense elliptical stroke. This motion consists of a high-G lifting phase combined with an aggressive forward throw. This synergy uniquely resists pegging by near-size stones and resists blinding by wet fines, while ensuring excellent material stratification across the entire width of the screen deck.

A horizontal vibrating screen is a screening machine whose deck sits flat or at a very shallow angle (typically 0–5°) and is driven by mechanical exciters that push material along the deck while stratifying it through the apertures.
Because the deck is horizontal, material residence time is longer than on an inclined screen, so horizontal screens deliver higher screening accuracy in a much lower-profile machine — ideal for mobile plants and retrofit installations where headroom is limited.
Inclined screens use gravity and a circular throw to move material down a 15–25° slope, while horizontal screens use a linear or elliptical throw to push material across a flat deck. Horizontal screens give longer retention time and higher screening efficiency for fine cuts, dewatering, and wet washing, and they fit into much shorter chassis heights — which is why they dominate mobile and modular plants.
Inclined screens still win on raw throughput when headroom is available, but a horizontal vibrating screen is the right pick whenever cut accuracy or compact installation matter more than peak tons-per-hour.
The ETE Series horizontal vibrating screen runs a triple-shaft elliptical drive instead of the more common twin-shaft linear motion. Three synchronized shafts generate a tunable ellipse, so operators can widen the throw for sticky and wet feeds or tighten it for precision dry sizing — without changing the machine.
That tuning range is what lets one ETE Series horizontal screen cover scalping, sizing, dewatering, and fine screening duties that would otherwise need separate machines.
ETE Series horizontal screens are built for the feeds that punish other machines: sticky clay-bound aggregates, wet sand, flaky shale, recycled construction debris, and high-moisture mineral ores. The elliptical throw constantly shears the bed, which prevents the pegging and blinding that would clog a circular-motion inclined screen on the same feed.
They also handle clean dry stone perfectly well — the elliptical motion just gives operators more headroom to stay on-spec when the feed turns nasty.
Yes — ETE horizontal screens are wet-ready out of the box. Spray-bar mounts run across each deck, the side plates are sealed for spray containment, and the decks themselves use open-area panels designed for fast drainage.
The horizontal layout helps water sheet evenly across the bed instead of running off the low end of an inclined screen, so washing and dewatering duty give cleaner cuts with less reagent or makeup water.
The ETE Series spans deck widths from 1800 mm to 2400 mm and lengths up to 7300 mm, available in 2-deck, 3-deck, and 4-deck configurations. Drive power ranges from 22 kW on the smallest ETE1848 up to 55 kW on the largest 4-deck units.
That covers throughput requirements from compact mobile plants through full stationary aggregate and mining lines.
ETE horizontal screens are most often specified in mobile and modular crushing-and-screening plants where chassis height is the limiting constraint, in retrofit projects where the existing screen house cannot accept a tall inclined unit, and in wash plants where dewatering and fines recovery decide the product spec.
They are common in aggregates, sand and gravel, recycling, mineral processing, and coal preparation.
Routine maintenance on a horizontal vibrating screen focuses on five items: inspect screen media weekly for wear and tensioning, grease the bearings on the schedule the OEM specifies (typically every 200–400 operating hours), check spring suspension and rubber buffers for fatigue, verify drive belt or coupling alignment, and re-torque deck and side-plate fasteners after the first 50 hours and then quarterly.
ETE Series machines are designed for tool-friendly access — bearings, springs, and screen panels can all be reached without dismantling adjacent equipment, which keeps maintenance windows short.
