FSS Series Shaker Screeners
The DB Series is ideal for shorter cycle times and for those new to mass finishing. Two different sizes are available for large and small batch sizes. Economical and durable, the DB Series are one of our most popular vibratory tumblers.
The Kramer FSS Series Shaker Screeners are designed to provide fast, efficient separation of parts, media, and fines in mass finishing operations. Built for durability and consistent performance, these systems improve production efficiency by automating the screening process and eliminating time-consuming manual separation.
In many finishing operations, separation is a critical step. Whether parts are processed in vibratory finishers, centrifugal barrel systems, or other finishing equipment, the ability to quickly and reliably separate media from parts directly impacts throughput and labor costs. The FSS Series provides a simple yet highly effective solution by using controlled vibration and linear motion to move materials across screening surfaces while separating components based on size.
Constructed from heavy-duty steel and powered by twin vibratory motors, FSS shaker screeners deliver dependable operation in demanding industrial environments. Their robust design ensures long service life while maintaining consistent separation performance.
How FSS Series Shaker Screeners Work
The system uses dual vibratory motors to create a linear motion that transfers the finishing mass across the screen deck. As the material moves forward, vertical vibration assists in separating parts, media, fines, and excess liquid.
In typical finishing applications:
- Media and small particles pass through the screen openings
- Larger finished parts continue forward to the discharge area
- Unwanted fines, chips, or excess fluid are removed during screening
Many configurations include a dual-deck screening system, allowing both part separation and media classification in a single operation. This capability prevents worn or broken media from contaminating the process and improves overall finishing consistency.
Advantages of the FSS Series
Improved Process Efficiency
External screening allows finishing machines to continue operating while parts and media are separated downstream, increasing overall system throughput.
Reduced Labor Requirements
Automated separation eliminates the need for manual media removal and minimizes operator intervention.
Improved Part Quality
Media classification prevents worn media or fines from becoming trapped in finished parts.
Enhanced Drying Efficiency
Integrated dewatering during screening reduces moisture before parts move to dryers, lowering energy consumption.
Portable and Flexible
Optional caster systems allow the screener to be easily repositioned within the finishing area as production needs change.
Key Features
- Twin electric vibratory motors for reliable linear motion
- Adjustable motor weights to control vibration intensity and feed rate
- Heavy-duty steel construction for long service life
- Removable side boards to secure screens and protect parts
- Customizable screens to match specific part and media sizes
- Simple controls for easy installation and operation
- Low power consumption for efficient operation
These features combine to create a screening solution that integrates easily with a wide range of finishing systems while delivering consistent separation performance.
Typical Applications
FSS Series shaker screeners are used across many industries that rely on mass finishing processes, including:
- Automotive components
- Aerospace parts
- Medical instruments
- Metalworking and machining operations
- Electronics manufacturing
- Industrial hardware and fasteners
From engine components and aircraft hardware to surgical instruments and precision machined parts, these systems provide dependable separation for a wide range of production environments.
