Dieffenbacher introduces new HCOS high-capacity oscillating screen for dry flake screening in particleboard production

Dieffenbacher has developed the new HCOS high-capacity oscillating screen for more throughput with less investment, according to their press release. The HCOS is developed specifically for producing high volumes.

It’s available in three sizes with the largest version enabling throughput of 260 m³/h. The HCOS high-capacity oscillating screen can be equipped with the new Mechanical Inclination Change (MIC) feature. By adjusting the screen’s inclination from 8° to 6° or 10°, material flow can be decreased or increased. This makes capacities of up to 325 m³/h possible.

With lightweight frames made of edged laser-cut profiles and enclosure panels and doors made of light sandwich panels with high stiffness, the HCOS weighs just 60% of comparable screens. The lightweight construction ensures a long frame life and enables hanging installation of the screen, eliminating the need for dedicated foundation blocks.

Meeting ATEX safety standards, the HCOS is ready for indoor installation. All new HCOS high-capacity oscillating screens feature Integrated Flameless Explosion Relief (IFER). In the event of a particle explosion in one of the four screen decks, the IFER ensures flameless pressure relief. All neighboring decks are perfectly protected from explosion hazard.

The HCOS is configured for four or five fractions. The screen nets for the different fractions are self-cleaning and quickly changeable for minimum maintenance.
