GET IN TOUCHFEATURES
Designed to be compliant with USDA, EHEDG, and FSMA requirements.
Minimizes downtime for ball tray installation / removal and can be completed by a single operator.
Top, side and discharge-end access for quick cleaning without the need for tools to disassemble.
No internal flat surfaces or ledges provides self-draining capabilities when washdown is necessary.
HOW IT WORKS
Gyratory Reciprocating Motion
The Gyratory Reciprocating Motion gradually transitions along the length of the machine, starting off as purely gyratory motion at the head, then moving to elliptical movement in the center and reverting back to reciprocating toward the end.
- Circular motion at feed end
- Spreads the material across the full width of the screen surface
- Stratifies the material
- Aggressively conveys material forward
- Changing to elliptical motion at center
- Long-stroke elliptical action
- Enhances product stratification
- Conveys material at high capacity
- Reciprocating motion at discharge end
- Removes near-size particles
- Improves screening efficiency
- No vertical component ensures material is in constant contact with the screen surface
BENEFITS
Single Operator Maintenance
The ULTREX full view top cover panels and side access doors allow one operator to inspect and/or change a screen panel in minutes.
More Uptime, More Profit
Easy inspection and maintenance results in reduced screening costs and increased productivity.
Proven Screening Performance
The ULTREX gyratory-reciprocating motion delivers on-spec product at higher yields than competitive vibratory motions.
Longevity and Durability
Rotex drives are designed for long-term, trouble-free service with minimal maintenance required.
USDA, EHEDG and FSMA Compliant Design
Product contact surfaces in the ULTREX are in compliance with recommended sanitary and hygienic standards.
Specifications
INSTALLATION
Floor Mounting
Because the Rotex counterbalanced drive has low transmitted forces, the ULTREX can be floor-mounted in properly designed structures, a design feature unique to this type of equipment. The ULTREX can be mounted directly on the floor or on an elevated structural steel framework, which allows for drums and other equipment to be located under the machine. Rotex application engineers are available to recommend a stand for any specific application. NOTE: Some ULTREX models with the Dynamic Absorber drive can only be cable suspended.
Cable Suspension
ULTREX Screeners can be cable-suspended from the four corners of the machine, thereby isolating screening forces from the supporting structure. Dual-counterbalancing of the ULTREX Screener makes this type of installation option possible without impacting separation performance. If the existing overhead structure is not suitable for cable suspension, the ULTREX can be suspended from a floor-mounted cable support stand. The support stand effectively isolates the horizontal out-of-balance screening forces, eliminating the need for additional overhead structure.

Drive Head
Rotex drive heads come in three configurations.
- Single Weight Drive: Used on smaller machines; only requires major counterweight for balancing and can be cable-suspended or floor-mounted.
- Dynamic Absorber Drive: Uses a major counterweight combined with leafsprings and weight packs to achieve balancing; these machines must be cable-suspended.
- Gear Drive: Uses both major and minor counterweights to achieve balancing; these machines can be cable-suspended or floor-mounted.
Drag Link
The drag link is a physical connection that attaches the screen box assembly to the machine base. This connection converts the gyratory motion created by the drive head to reciprocating motion for precise, near-size separation.
Screen Access Doors
The screen access doors allow for toolless entry, single-operator maintenance and inspections, and independent screen deck access. This means you can change the fourth deck without removing decks one, two and three, saving time and effort by directly accessing the screens that are most likely to fail first. The screens are removed through the use of toolless cams that raise and lower the individually pre-tensioned panels. With each screen change you also receive a brand-new seal, ensuring zero product contamination.
Inspection Ports
Inspection ports are located on the top cover of the machine. When the machine is stopped, you can easily remove the inspection cap and ensure the screener is operating correctly. This could include inspections for screen blinding, screen tears or material buildup.
Inlet Connection
Rotex customizes each machine configuration to match the exact application needs. Inlet connection options include:
- Traditional flexible connections
- Rubber, EPDM, silicone, nylon, polyurethane, Teflon™
- Sanitary BFM connections
- Specialized connections
- Nutating connections, sliding connections, inlet chute
Outlet Connections
Rotex customizes each machine configuration to match the exact application needs. Outlet connection options include:
- Traditional flexible connections
- Rubber, EPDM, silicone, nylon, polyurethane, Teflon™
- Sanitary BFM connections
- Specialized connections
- Brush connections, nutating connections
Discharge Chute
The APEX™ discharge chute offers easily accessible outlets and customizable outlet configurations. Outside of the outlets, you can also customize the discharge chute by adding hinges to improve accessibility for product cleanouts and inspections. Lastly, you can include up to two different aspirated fractions for added separation capabilities.
