Screener Produces Sharp Separations

Capable of processing a wide variety of seeds and grains for planting and production —including soybean processing and corn sizing for ethanol production — the Megatex XD™ from ROTEX Global handles feed rates from 2,000 to 50,000 bushels per hour.

Designed to produce sharp separations and high efficiencies in high volume applications, it can be used for scalping, cleaning, grading, and chaff and fines removal.
Has the ability to produce grain separations of a quality that meets or exceeds the dockage testing specifications used by the Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) at outbound export facilities, as well as at inland terminals.
The machine employs a unique elliptical-linear motion to enable equal distribution of seeds or grains to all screen decks, with even bed depth across the entire surface.
The advanced screen frame design forces a more random impact for the mesh cleaning balls, producing better blinding control with a reduction in screen fatigue for longer screen life.
To remove lightweight chaff that can be problematic in shipping, the screener can be equipped with aspiration discharge doors to remove materials such as: soybean hulls, pods, beeswings, cob, and other objectionable materials.
Both wire screens and perforated plates may be used interchangeably in screen decks for multiple sizing processes.
Housed in a standard, compact footprint measuring 12 feet by 12 feet, the twelve 48-inch-wide screen decks provide up to 50-percent greater production capacity per square foot than competitors' units, which enables customers to consolidate processes which require multiple screening machines into a single unit.
Both a patented Cam Lift-Rail for easy screen frame installation and removal, and an over-center clamp handle on the discharge doors which eliminates adjustable threaded connections are included.
Dust control is enhanced by a sleeveless brush system and discharge vent connection and with adhesive-free, silicone D seals between screen decks for fine separations.
An easily accessible external drive, powered by a single cartridge with two spherical roller bearings that run for 200,000 hours is included.
Its support shaft suspension system incorporates industrial U-joint bearings and no maintenance, low torsion center springs.
Further customization options are available, including: stainless steel or abrasion-resistant steel construction; rockbox landing areas to handle continuous impact on high-wear surfaces; single or double inlet plenums with sliding inlet connections; and long-life Teflon™ wear rings.
