The screen basket of the WIPA Frictionwasher/Separator has been enlarged by up to 30% so that a significantly larger amount of contaminants and liquids can be separated.

The edged lids ensure continuous turning of the material, which significantly improves the separation of impurities.

The screen elements have the same dimensions, which saves storage and spare parts costs, as the elements can be interchanged or simply replaced. In the feed area of the machine, the screening elements are subjected to greater stress than in the rear part of the machine, which results in higher and faster wear of these screening elements. Thanks to the identical dimensions of the screen plates in the front and rear part of the machine, the screen elements can be changed from front to rear.

This saves on spare parts costs, as the screen plates can be used for longer. Separate sieve elements also allow the use of different sieve perforations. For example, a larger screen perforation can be installed in the infeed area of the machine than in the rear area of the machine.

The screen perforation can be individually adapted to the material. Round perforations between 2 and 3 mm are used as standard. However, other sieve types with e.g. conical or angular perforations as well as special sieve elements for e.g. the processing of fibers or big bags can be supplied. The new screen design offers a much larger screen area than comparable systems, which significantly increases the separation, washing and drying results.
