Rotex Machinery

The classic Rotex machine is a proven rugged, long-lasting and versatile screening machine that has been used in countless applications throughout the world for decades. Featuring Rotex’s Gyratory Reciprocating Motion, the Rotex consistently delivers on-spec product with less reject of good materials, resulting in increased profits. Rotex screener models range from one to five screen surfaces (with sizes ranging from 0.8- 10.2 m2) for separations with openings from 12mm to 325mm mesh allowing for a complete bespoke screening solution.

How it works

Gyratory motion rapidly distributes, stratifies, and separates

The unique gyratory-reciprocating motion begins with a horizontal circular motion at the feed end that immediately spreads the material across the full width of the screen.

1. Circular motion at feed end

The circular motion gradually diminishes along the length of the machine to an elliptical path, and finally to an approximate straight-line motion at the discharge end.

2. Changing to elliptical motion at centre

This motion allows the machine to process material at a higher capacity and improves screening performance for near-size material.

3. Straight-line motion at discharge end

There is no vertical component to this motion – thus keeping the material in constant contact with the screen surface.
