The BIVITEC® Vibrating Screen

Effective Fine Screening For the Most Difficult Materials
BIVITEC® allows the screening of the most difficult materials without plugging or blinding. The unique action of the deck provides high acceleration forces on the material to keep the deck free and clear.

BENEFITS OF THE BIVITEC®

THE BIVITEC® SOLUTION

Developed to screen the most problematic materials, the BIVITEC® vibratory screener uses a unique dual-vibratory screening process to eliminate clogging and blinding of the screen mesh to save downtime and increase productivity.

To ensure the most effective screening, high-acceleration forces are transferred to the feed material. The BIVITEC® Screen achieves these high forces by dynamically tensioning and relaxing the flexible polyurethane screen mats using a dual vibration principle. Enhanced by resonance, one drive can produce two vibration movements. The screen box is accelerated approximately 2g’s while the screen mats can receive up to 50g’s.

Applications once judged impossible, can now be accomplished. Reach out to us to request a demo or a quote on a BIVITEC® screen for sale.
