TEREX Ecotec has added to its screening portfolio with the launch of the new TXS 350 Starscreen.
The manufacturer said the three-fraction machine has been developed for high-throughput screening across a range of organic and environmental materials.
The TXS 350 is designed to process materials including biomass, compost, green waste, topsoil, wood chips and bark. The machine incorporates self-cleaning stars and sectional speed control combined with an intuitive control system.
A cassette-style screen deck design supports maintenance and reconfiguration, with both screen decks removable as complete units. The TXS 350 can be powered by either an onboard genset or external power supply.
The machine features a 7m³ hopper with adjustable metering wheel to control material flow onto the screen decks. Hydraulic folding hopper extensions increase hopper capacity.
At the core of the new model are two screen decks. The coarse deck measures 5m x 1.25m and is fitted with 19 shafts, each carrying 9–10 stars. The fines deck measures 6m x 1.25m and includes 44 shafts, each with 38 stars. Both decks are divided into independently controlled sections, allowing operators to adjust deck speeds to suit material characteristics and optimise screening efficiency.
The stars on both decks can be fitted with cleaning fingers to prevent material build up in difficult applications.
The machine incorporates two, variable height stockpile conveyors. Both lower to ground level for maintenance. The mid-size product conveyor has a max discharge height of 3.7m and the fines product conveyor has a max discharge height of 3.1m.
Conor Hegarty, business line director for Terex Ecotec, said, “The TXS 350 expands our screening offering and was developed in response to customer feedback. It is designed to provide high-capacity screening, straightforward operation and practical service access for a wide range of applications.”
