GKD developed the first linear screen filter fabrics which enabled screening efficiencies in excess of 95 % in certain applications. Since its inception, the linear screen has proven itself as an unmatched solution for woodchip, trash, residue screening and fine screening applications.

• Pre-engineered units: proven with short delivery times

• No vibration: no potential cracking of structural steelwork

• Range of screening apertures: process specific design

• High efficiencies: availability of more than 98 % can be realised

• Low power consumption

• Low maintenance costs: only cloths need to be replaced in first year of operation

• Low noise level: environmentally friendly

• User friendly

• Flexible: easy to change parameters

• Semi-automatic self-cleaning spray bars as a standard

• Cloth wash water pre-filtered optional
