Discover the Power of GKM’s Tumbler Screening vs. Traditional Screening

Maximize Efficiency and Accuracy in Screening

What is Tumbler Screening?

Unlike traditional industrial screening equipment or vibratory screening machines that relies on intense, high-frequency vibrations, Tumbler Screening uses gentle, three-dimensional elliptical movements (see motion in video below). This results in a non-aggressive screening process, that increases throughput at higher quality control standards with minimized ongoing operation expense and is ideally suited for fine, sensitive and/or difficult-to-screen dry materials.

Why Choose Tumbler Screening?

Ultra-Precise Particle Sizing

Ideal for high-precision material screening with tight quality control standards

Higher Rates

Better utilization of the screen surface area translates into higher throughputs on a similarly sized industrial screening machine. Combined lower amplitude and larger machines are possible, featuring up to 6 screen decks with 7 fractions!

Customize Movement

Application based, custom engineered control of motion across 3-axis allows an adjustable material dwell time on the screen. This can provide a higher quality cut and increased yield and reduced product loss or reprocessing

Reduced Equipment Wear

Gentle screening motion prolongs equipment life, especially screen inserts.

Energy-Efficient Operation

Lower power consumption with less noise pollution when compared to traditional vibratory screening.

Dust-Tight Design 

Improved work and safety environment with reduced contamination risk.

Highlights by Industry

Battery Materials (Lithium, Graphite, Cathodes, Anodes)

Precision is key when handling super fine, expensive, and sensitive materials like those used in battery production and recycling. Tumble screening provides:

– High efficiency in separating fine and ultra-fine powders, improving first pass material purity.

– Low wear and tear on equipment due to reduced vibration, extending the lifespan of screens when processing abrasive materials like graphite and anode powders.

Food Additives (Starches, Proteins, Powders)

Food processors benefit from the gentle, contaminant-free screening process that Tumble Screening delivers:

– Minimized material degradation during processing, maintaining the integrity of fine starches, powders, and proteins.

– Safer, Sanitary design meeting strict food safety regulations and reducing dust migration through the air

Chemicals (Fine Powders, Polymers, Granules)

In the chemical industry, consistency and purity are essential for maintaining product quality:

– Better yield and reduced waste or reprocessing, as Tumble Screening minimizes oversize particles in polymers and fine chemicals.

– Larger machines with 6 screen decks (up to seven fraction sizes) increasing throughputs with smaller footprint and downtime

– Dust-tightness and improved protection of users and environment…

Abrasive Materials (Minerals, Ceramics, Sands)

Abrasive materials require robust screening solutions that can handle wear and tear:

– Durability against harsh materials such as ceramics, glass, and minerals, with reduced time and energy in the machine, reducing costly downtime.

– Greater (bigger?) throughput for abrasive particles, ensuring your production line keeps moving efficiently.
