AMKCO Scalper Machine
The AMKCO Scalper Machine is designed for one purpose: to remove small amounts of foreign material from large volumes of product, quickly and efficiently.
In contrast to standard separators, this unit features a diagonally placed base, which ensures that the product flows directly and rapidly toward the outlet — preventing overflow and keeping your process moving. It is ideal for applications where the limiting factor is not the screen mesh, but the outlet flow capacity.
Commonly used in industries such as food, grain, feed, starch, and minerals, the AMKCO Scalper provides pre-screening protection to downstream equipment and ensures your final product stays free from unwanted particles.
Working Principle
Most standard screeners use a spherical bottom and side outlet, which can bottleneck high-volume materials.
The AMKCO Scalper overcomes this by using a sloped (diagonal) base that directs the material to the outlet in the shortest path. The foreign material is held back by the screen mesh, while the main product exits quickly, maintaining high flow rate and avoiding back pressure or overflow.
Product Feature
Sloped Discharge Base
Diagonal bottom ensures fast material discharge and avoids product buildup.
Efficient Pre-Cleaning
Captures unwanted oversize particles before they reach sensitive equipment downstream.
High-Volume Throughput
Engineered to handle bulk material flows without screen clogging or outlet bottlenecks.
Product Advantage
Protects Downstream Equipment
Keeps sieves, mills, or packaging lines safe from large contaminants.
Prevents Overflow in High-Volume Lines
Efficient discharge avoids screen flooding even under high flow conditions.
Compact Design, Easy to Integrate
Simple to install in bulk material handling systems with minimal footprint.
FAQ
What is the AMKCO Scalper used for?
It’s used to remove a small amount of oversize contaminants from a large product flow — especially where high throughput is required.
What’s the benefit of the diagonal base design?
It helps move the product toward the outlet faster, preventing overflow and allowing higher capacity than standard designs.
Can it handle sticky or wet materials?
It performs best with dry bulk materials. For sticky or wet products, consult with AMKCO Siam for recommendations.
Can it be installed in existing lines?
Yes. The compact form and standard connection options make it easy to retrofit.
