FSS Series Shaker Screeners

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
