AMKCO Straight-Flo Machine
The AMKCO Straight-Flo Machine is designed for one simple but critical task — acting as a final “police screen“ to remove coarse contaminants from your product stream just before final packaging or transfer.
With its side-mounted vibratory motors, the machine enables material to fall directly through in a straight line. This design offers exceptional capacity and makes it ideal for installations just above bulk bag filling stations, silos, or truck loading systems.
If you need speed and a last layer of protection — this is your screening solution.
Working Principle
Unlike traditional circular screeners, the AMKCO Straight-Flo has vibratory motors mounted on the sides, creating a straight-through motion. Product enters from the top and drops quickly through the screen deck, with minimal dwell time.
The machine is not intended for precise separations but is extremely effective at removing large particles or foreign objects before final processing or packaging. It’s particularly useful in high-flow environments where screening speed is critical.
Product Feature
Straight-Through Flow Design
Material flows vertically through the screen in a direct line — no circular motion, no delays.
Final Safety Screening
Acts as a final checkpoint to catch oversize contaminants before packaging or filling.
Compact, Side-Motor Configuration
Side-mounted vibratory motors reduce overall height — easy to integrate above packing lines or bulk filling machines.
Product Advantage
High Capacity Screening
Minimal resistance means high throughput — ideal for fast-moving product lines.
Prevents Costly Contamination
Protect your final product quality by catching coarse debris at the last possible point.
Simple Integration into Existing Systems
Straight-flow layout makes it easy to drop into existing setups without major modification.
FAQ
What does “Straight-Flo” mean?
It refers to the product dropping directly through the machine in a straight line, without spiral or circular motion — making it ideal for high-capacity final check screening.
Where is this machine typically installed?
Commonly used just before filling lines — such as Big-Bag (FIBC) stations, silos, or truck loading points.
Can it be used for fine screening?
It’s not recommended for fine mesh applications (under 1 mm), as the vibration pattern isn’t optimized for fine separations.
Is it compatible with screen cleaning systems?
Traditional cleaning systems like rings or balls are less effective here, due to the vibration direction — but cleaning is rarely needed due to the high-throughput nature.
What materials is it made from?
Contact parts can be made from stainless steel (Food Grade) to suit hygiene-critical industries.
