The Taper-Slot screen is designed to excel in applications that conventional screens can’t handle.
Unlike standard finger screens, the Taper-Slot has patented lateral wedge members, which prevent material from shifting laterally and catching under or wrapping around fingertips.
Wedge deflectors prevent longer, often oversized materials from free-falling into the screened fraction. Instead, they contact the screen’s formed ‘tail’ portion and are conveyed downstream for discharge with the oversize.It combines long-stroke vibratory action with a screen design that provides smooth, continuous material flow and efficient separations. A material cascade at the mid-point of the Taper-Slot helps turn over material and increase downstream screening efficiency.

Multiple sizes can be screened per unit, and modular screen sections are easily changeable. Distributed in Australia by Lincom, the Taper-Slot has a proven track record in screening a variety of applications, including construction and demolition, scrap tyres, wood waste, compost, aggregate and dirt, commercial waste, glass, plastics and metal and refuse derived fuel.
Each screen is customised to meet specific application requirements.
