ME Series Gyra-Vib® Separator

Features & Benefits

The ME Series Gyra-Vib® round separator gives the user ultimate control of the screener’s frequency – providing accurate particle travel and increased production. Available in a wide range of sizes and finishes, the vibratory separator can integrate nicely within existing processes or new applications.

The innovative drive design features a variable speed pulley system intergraded with the motor mounted on an adjustable slide base to achieve precision screening at its best. The adjustable base allows for precise control of frequency – providing accurate material travel and increased production.

This unique system allows the unit to operate at a speed range of 950 to 1450 rotations per minute (rpm), reducing the wear on the separator and maximizing the life of the motor. Increase rpm for better production schedules; reduce rpm for less energy consumption.

The balance cages allow for finer adjustments and more efficient screening compared to a fixed rpm separator. The ME Series separator features a weight system that allows for adjustments simply by moving the weights freely over pins, making it easy to change flow patterns.

• Available in a variety of sizes from 24 to 72 – inch separators
• Inexpensive motor replacement
• Most separator frames and accessories are interchangeable
• Explosion proof motor available upon request
• Hydraulic motor available on most separator models

Midwestern will work closely with you to establish the most effective configuration for your screening process.

This vibratory separator utilizes an adjustable motor mounting system that allows for greater product control and minimal maintenance requirements. The screening machine will screen material as fine as 25 microns and is available from 24 to 72 inches.

Description of Components

1. ME Series Separators use a standard NEMA foot-mounted motor. Explosion proof motors can be used for hazardous locations and can be supplied in any voltage requirement.
2. The variable speed pulley is easily accessible and mounted on the motor, isolating the screen vibration from the motor. The motor is mounted on an adjustable motor slide base, allowing for a variable speed range of 950 to 1450 RPMs.
3. The slide base is adjustable for the control of frequency. Power is transmitted from the motor to the balance cages using a variable speed belt.
4. Balance cages are mounted on a large diameter shaft between standard, heavy-duty, double spherical roller bearings. Specially designed bearing housings have greater grease capacity for long life as well as convenient lubrication fittings.
5. For increased durability, the unit’s base and table assemblies are constructed of heavy steel plate by certified welders. The lower frame is bolted to the table on 36″ through 72″ diameter units, enabling the use of multiple screening surfaces without turning of the spacing frames. Carbon steel and stainless steel (types 304 and 316) are furnished for surfaces in contact with product flow. Abrasion- and corrosion-resistant coatings are also available. Decks and discharge features may be modified to fit screening requirements. The use of “V” type clamp rings permits easy, quick changing of replacement screens.
6. The reversible center locking devices allow positive screen tensioning, up or down.
