Disc Screen

Disc screen (Disc Screen / Disc Sieve), often called a “disc sieve” or “disc separator,” is a device that performs screening using disc-shaped plates arranged in an interleaved pattern on multiple parallel shafts. It is especially effective for handling sticky, wet, easily tangled, or bulky mixed solid waste, and is a core sorting appliance in solid waste treatment and resource recovery.

Product Introduction

Disc screen (Disc Screen / Disc Sieve), often called a “disc sieve” or “disc separator,” is a device that performs screening using disc-shaped plates arranged in an interleaved pattern on multiple parallel shafts. It is especially effective for handling sticky, wet, easily tangled, or bulky mixed solid waste, and is a core sorting appliance in solid waste treatment and resource recovery.

Working Principle

The machine consists of multiple screening shafts arranged in parallel, each fitted with several disc-shaped plates. The shafts rotate synchronously in the same direction. When material is fed in, fines smaller than the gaps between discs (undersize) fall through, while oversize material larger than the gaps is “swept” forward by the discs and conveyed onward, achieving integrated “screening + conveying.”

Structural Type

  • Drive System: Motor + Gearbox + Sprocket/Gear Linkage (mostly modular, independent drives).
  • Screening System: Screen shaft, removable discs (triangular-arc or circular), wear-resistant liners.
  • Auxiliary Systems: Enclosure, anti-clogging cleaning device (scraper/nylon brush), variable frequency control system.

Product Advantages

Exceptional Clog Resistance
The rotating discs feature a self-cleaning function. Combined with a cleaning mechanism, they are specifically designed to handle wet, sticky materials (such as household waste and construction debris) and are resistant to screen clogging.
High Processing Capacity
With high screen surface utilization, the unit can process 3–4 times the volume of a traditional drum screen while maintaining the same footprint, and screening efficiency is improved by approximately 1.5 times.
Wear-Resistant and Easy to Maintain
The discs feature a modular, removable design. Localized wear parts can be replaced online without replacing the entire shaft, significantly reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
High Adaptability
By adjusting the disc spacing (typically 25–120 mm) and shaft speed, the classification particle size can be flexibly controlled to accommodate materials with complex compositions.
Combined Screening and Conveying Functionality
Materials are propelled forward by the rotational thrust of the discs, combining screening and conveying functions to simplify the process flow.

Main Application Areas

Scenario: Primary screening of demolition waste and renovation waste (including bricks, concrete, wood, plastic, etc.).

Value: Efficiently separates large construction aggregates from fine debris, providing clean feedstock for downstream crushing.

Scenario: Pretreatment of municipal solid waste; excavation and screening of decomposed waste at landfills.

Value: Separates organic matter, lightweight materials (plastics, paper), and inert materials (sand, gravel, glass), thereby increasing resource recovery rates.

Application: Sand and gravel aggregates with high mud content, river silt, and raw ore from mines.

Value: Enables dry mud-stone separation without adding water, preventing the generation of wastewater.

Applications: Particle size classification of industrial waste and bulky waste after crushing.

Benefits: Ensures uniform particle size for RDF fuel and removes non-combustible impurities.
