MEGATEX Screeners Deliver Accurate, Efficient Separations at High Capacities.

MEGATEX° screeners provide highly efficient, accurate 2. Long-Stroke, Gyratory Motion

separations at greater production rates than other high volume
screening options. With 100 to 350 square feet of screen
surface area in a compact 10' x 10' x 12' machine, MEGATEX
screeners can do the job of multiple conventional screeners,
resulting in lower initial capital expense, plus significant
installation, operating and floor-space savings.
A single MEGATEX screener is capable of high volume
screening at these rates of production:
• Industrial Minerals to 200 TPH
• Grain/Ag Products to 1000 TPH
• Dry Chemicals from 60 to 100 TPH
• Particle Board Furnish to 20 TPH
• Ag Chemicals and Fertilizers to 150 TPH
• Plastic Pellets from 60 to 150 TPH
MEGATEX screeners achieve their greater productivity
through two design innovations:
The force level created by the
long-stroke (up to 3"), low-frequency
drive serves two important functions.
First, the motion effectively spreads
the material across the full width of
the distribution panel. This achieves
proportional feeding to each of the
screen levels inside the machine and
eliminates the need for multiple
process feed points. Second, the
long-stroke and low-frequency
produce effective ball mesh cleaning
to control blinding, providing
long-term, uninterrupted operation.
Screening units employing shorter strokes or higher
frequency drives cannot match these two functions of
MEGATEX screeners. Thus their screening effectiveness
is poor, resulting in product loss or poor product quality.

1. Wide Screen Design

When handling higher capacities, the depth of the material
passing over the screen increases. Increased bed depth
diminishes the screener's ability to stratify material, which is MEGATEX screeners were first introduced by ROTEX INC. in

Additional Performance Benefits.

• Compact Design-With a footprint of 10' x 10' x 12' or smaller,
MEGATEX screeners occupy far less floor space than the multiple
conventional units required to obtain the same levels of production.
This results in lower installed costs and reduced maintenance
expense.
• Easy Screen Access-Full-width, hinged doors provide easy
access to all levels and screen decks. Screen decks are
conveniently sized for easy removal and handling by two workers.
• Vibration Isolation-The cable suspension system effectively
isolates as much as 95% of the dynamic forces of the moving
assembly-virtually eliminating the transmission of destructive forces
to adjacent structures. This means less structural support is required
than for other screening units, resulting in lower installed costs.
• Quiet Operation-Low-frequency, gyratory screning action
produces very low noise levels-far lower than those produced by
vibratory screeners and well within the comfort range.
• Dual Service Option-A two-point feed system allows each bank of
the machine to be used for separate service.
A Full Line of Screener Models
MEGATEX screeners are available for a variety of general purpose and
finer process screening applications. Included are:
• 100 Series Screeners with 120 or 180 square feet of screen
surface area.
• 200 Series Screeners with 210 or 280 square feet of screen
surface area.
• 300 Series Screeners with 350 square feet of screen surface area.
MEGATEX MG Screeners, available for applications as fine as 850
microns, are designed for high capacity screening such as required in
export grain terminal operations, inland grain cleaning, fertilizer loading,
particle board face/core separations and wood chip classification.
MEGATEX MA Screeners are designed for highcapacity, fine process
screening applications down to 200 microns. They feature a unique lift
rail system for positive sealing to prevent cross-contamination within
the screener. Also featured are auto-tensioning screen decks that
provide constant screen tensioning and quick screen changeout.
