K-SERIES Screens for Circular Vibratory Screeners

 
 

K-DURA: The High-Performance Standard Screen

Our K-DURA circular screens for circular vibratory screeners are general-purpose, high-performance standard screens. Available in weld-mounted and epoxy/adhesive-mounted styles, an unsupported stainless steel screen ring is finished with your choice of mesh type and size. Additional specifications like center holes and center plates or silicone seals are available to best suit your machine and application needs.

 

K-DURA round screens are utilized in a wide range of applications, including but not limited to:

  • Sifting lumps and foreign particles from bulk dry solids like sugar
  • Classification of oysters or clams
  • Separating slag (a byproduct of smelting metals such as steel or brass)
  • Screening and removing oversized and undersized materials from products like sprinkles or pretzel salt
  • Dewatering solids from liquids like wastewater
  • De-lumping powders and agglomerates such as dried powdered agrichemicals

 

K-STRONG: The High-Strength Supported Screen

Our K-STRONG round screens set us apart from our competitors – if you are looking for a screening solution for demanding, heavy-duty applications, look no further. Whether you’re looking to handle high material loadings or dense materials on finer-mesh screens, or if you need to reinforce larger diameter screens, K-STRONG is the choice for you. Our standard screen rings are reinforced with custom-fabricated support structures, ranging from one up to eight arm supported designs.

K-STRONG circular screens can be utilized in a wide range of applications and industries, from food processing to screening nylon polymer pellets, chemicals and more.



K-SANI: The Durable Sanitary Screen

Our K-SANI circular screen line is ideal for industries where stringent sanitary and safety regulations must be adhered to. These screens are custom-manufactured and finished to standards such as 3-A, FDA, USDA, BISCC, and cGMP. K-SANI is a good fit for those processing foods, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, or handling other consumables where sanitation is of utmost importance. Whether you are looking to sift flours, pharmaceuticals or dairy powders, you can count on K-SANI round screens to safely and efficiently process your product.

To guarantee your screen’s compliance, Certificates of Conformance and/or Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available upon request. 

 

K-KLEAN: The High-Strength Self-Cleaning Screen

Processing materials that tend to blind standard screens? K-KLEAN round screens, equipped with anti-blinding devices might be a good fit for you. Screen blinding can be caused by near-size particles clogging the apertures on a screen, fibers stapling around the wires on a screen, or by resinous, fatty, oily, or similarly viscous deposits cover the screen’s mesh.

K-KLEAN circular screens feature plastic rings or sliders which, when in operation, vibrate against the screen mesh and impart low-impact, high-frequency pulsations. This screen design maintains screening efficiency with minimal disturbance to the movement of the material across the screen.

K-PERF: The Ultra-Durable Perforated Plate Screen

If you’re looking to minimize the passage of long particles, or if you’re simply in search of a screen that will outlast the most durable screen mesh, look to K-PERF circular screens for your application.

Comprised of a perforated plate mounted onto a screen ring, these round screens have been utilized in a wide range of applications such as cannabis bud sorting, screening overs and fines from pellets, and more.

 

 

K-SERIES Screens for Centrifugal Sifters

K-CENTRI: The High-Performance All-Purpose Screen Cylinder

Available with either synthetic mesh or wire mesh screens installed on metal screen baskets with hose clamps, these general-purpose screens are equipped to handle a wide array of centrifugal sifting applications. Our K-CENTRI centrifugal screens are built for sifting and screening a wide range of materials – just some examples include:

  • Screening powdered pharmaceuticals
  • Scalping food ingredients such as soya flakes
  • Sifting powder coatings

Food-grade seals or magnetic mesh options are available for food, pharmaceutical, and other applications that must meet stringent sanitary and safety protocols.

 

K-DURACYL: The Ultra-Durable Wedge Wire & Perforated Plate Screen Baskets

Satisfy the most demanding sifting applications with our K-DURACYL wedge wire and perforated plate screen baskets. Our wedge wire screen baskets can withstand the most challenging applications without running the risk of blow-outs or screen failures.
