Hole screen baskets

The Voith NDura hole screen basket offers precise and reliable technology for centrifugal pressure screens. They are ideal for use in stock preparation, as well as broke, pulp and approach flow screening.

The optimization of the pitch design leads to an achievement of the highest open screen areas and, as a result, to a high throughput. The high separation rates of dirt and impurities contribute to quality improvements in the end products. Constant advances in our manufacturing techniques yield the highest precision in different hole designs and roundness of the screen basket. Each screen basket is equipped with the Voith hard chrome-plating technology and possesses a high wear protection.

The highly sophisticated products are suitable for Voith screens and for all current machines and associated rotor combinations of other manufacturers.

Screening rotors

Higher demands in raw material screening require increased screening efficiency and pose distinct challenges for facility operators. Voith screening rotors are the ideal answer, combining maximum screening quality and throughput with optimal energy use in each area of application.

EclipseR Rotor

Unique geometry for maximum energy savings

In the sorting process, high levels of impurities cause rapid wear and a high maintenance effort for rotors. Voith's EclipseR rotor not only withstands high reject levels, but also saves up to 35% of your energy requirements. These are convincing arguments, as the EclipseR rotor is already successfully used in several production lines.

Because of its novel foil geometry and configuration, the EclipseR rotor facilitates optimal screening efficiency, especially in screening applications that are heavily loaded with impurities. The flat but effective foil geometry of the EclipseR rotor generates a strong suction impulse and keeps the screen free for the highest throughput, even with high pulp consistencies of up to 5%. The EclipseR rotor was developed specifically for screening applications that are energy-intensive and heavily loaded with impurities. It is suitable for use in stock preparation, broke and pulp screening by Voith screening systems and all common machines from other manufacturers.

MultiFoil Rotors

Innovative blade geometry increases screening efficiency

MultiFoil rotors are the ideal combination of the highest screening quality and throughput rates. Innovative blade geometry prevents the spinning of fibers and reduces pulsations. Thanks to the uniform through-flow profile with short suction impulses, the MultiFoil rotor leads to improvements in sustained screen openness with the highest separation rate.

In addition, the concept causes lower pulsations and longer basket service life. Due to the oblique arrangement of the short blades, the rotor is noticeably less susceptible to spinning. Frequently, the rotor speed can be reduced, thereby fiber-preserving and energy-saving screening becomes possible. MultiFoil rotors were developed for use in stock preparation and approach flow and can be used for Voith screens and machines of other manufacturers.
