Terex Ecotec, a Terex Corporation company and a global manufacturer of environmental equipment and solutions, has announced the expansion of its screening technology portfolio with the introduction of the TXS 350 Starscreen, a three-fraction machine developed for high-throughput screening across a range of organic and environmental materials.
According to a statement, the TXS 350 Starscreen is designed to process a wide range of materials, including biomass, compost, green waste, topsoil, woodchips, and bark.
The machine incorporates self-cleaning stars and sectional speed control combined with an intuitive control system, allowing operators to easily optimise screening performance in different material types and operating conditions.
Designed for site mobility and easy work reconfiguration
Mounted on crawler tracks, the TXS 350 Starscreen is designed for site mobility and routine relocation. Onboard service platforms provide access for daily checks and maintenance tasks.
Powered by either an onboard genset or an external power supply, providing flexibility for different site requirements, the TXS 350 Starscreen features a 7 m3 (9.2 yd3) hopper with an adjustable metering wheel to control material flow onto the screen decks. Hydraulic folding hopper extensions increase hopper capacity.
A cassette-style screen deck design supports maintenance and reconfiguration, with both screen decks removable as complete units.
Twin screen decks
At the core of the TXS 350 Starscreen are two screen decks. The coarse deck measures 5 m x 1.25 m (16.4 ft x 4.1 ft) and is fitted with 19 shafts, each carrying 9–10 stars. The fines deck measures 6m x 1.25m (19.7 ft x 4.1 ft) 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 buildup in difficult applications. The cleaning action takes place during screening, removing unnecessary downtime.
The machine incorporates two variable-height stockpile conveyors. Both conveyors can be lowered to ground level for easy maintenance.
The mid-size product conveyor has a maximum discharge height of 3.7 m (12.14 ft), and the fines product conveyor has a maximum discharge height of 3.1 m (10.17 ft).
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, commented Conor Hegarty, Business Line Director for Terex Ecotec.
