AMKCO Standard Vibratory Separator
The AMKCO Standard Vibratory Separator is a high-efficiency circular screening machine specially suited for wet applications, including slurry filtration, dewatering, and solid-liquid separation.
Engineered for continuous-duty operation and built with food-grade stainless steel contact parts, it is trusted across industries such as food & beverage, starch, juice processing, pulp, wastewater, and chemical slurries. Available in eight sizes (18”–84”), this separator delivers precision screening from coarse particles down to 25 micron.
With modular flexibility and optional cleaning accessories like rotary sprays and self-cleaning kits, AMKCO helps manufacturers maintain high hygiene standards, reduce downtime, and maximize product recovery from liquids.
Working Principle
The separator uses a three-dimensional vibratory motion created by a vertically mounted motor with unbalanced weights. This motion causes the slurry to spread evenly across the screen surface while promoting rapid dewatering or particle separation.
For wet screening, optional spray rings or overflow spouts can be integrated. The lead angle adjustment lets operators control the flow rate and dwell time, improving screening accuracy across one to five deck levels.
Product Feature
Optimized for Slurry and Liquid-Solid Separation
Designed for continuous wet operations like starch dewatering, juice filtration, and wastewater treatment.
Hygienic Contact Design
All wetted parts are stainless steel, with smooth welds and cleanability options that meet food and hygiene standards.
Wet-Screening Accessories
Easily integrate spray bars, velocity reducers, overflow outlets, or self-cleaning systems to prevent screen blinding and maintain throughput.
Product Advantage
High-Capacity Wet Processing
Effectively handles high-throughput slurries or liquids while maintaining precise cut-point separation.
Gentle Screening Action
Ideal for delicate products (e.g. curd, starch, pulp) where product integrity is critical during wet sieving.
Modular and Easy to Maintain
Quickly upgrade from single to multi-deck configurations or retrofit cleaning systems as process needs evolve.
FAQ
What types of wet applications is this machine suitable for?
Ideal for starch slurries, fruit juice pulp removal, wastewater treatment, dairy curd recovery, and general solid-liquid separation.
Can I install cleaning systems like spray rings?
Yes. AMKCO supports pre- or post-installation of spray systems, ball trays, and rotary self-cleaning kits for optimal wet screening performance.
What’s the finest separation it can achieve for liquids?
Down to 25 microns (500 mesh) depending on product characteristics and screen selection.
Will it handle viscous or high-load slurries?
Yes. The machine is built to manage high-volume and high-viscosity wet products — consult our engineers for the best setup.
Can it be used in food-grade environments?
Absolutely. All contact parts are stainless steel and meet food-grade or CIP-compliant standards when needed.
Is multi-deck screening possible for wet products?
Yes. Multi-level wet classification can be done in a single machine using appropriate flow controls and screen mesh sizes.
Can I test before I buy?
Yes. AMKCO Siam offers pilot testing and lab-scale trials to validate wet separation performance for your product.
