Glass Breaker Screen

The Glass Breaker Screen was developed to break glass and screen it at 50 mm. Optional is a 2nd screening deck that screens at 120 mm.
The 2nd deck screens tin cans among other things, in preparation of separating metal.

Screening deck

The glass breaker screen is basicly a 2 deck star screen which is designed for breaking and screening the glass fraction in a waste stream. For Breaking the glass the first deck is supplied with shafts with steel flower stars. The flower stars are made from very wear resistant Hardox steel and have a diameter from 330 mm.

The second deck is  the screening deck and is standard provided with the conventional Lubo rubber stars, with a diameter from 235 mm. The optional 2nd screening deck has axles with rubber stars with a diameter of 330 mm. The star axles are made of solid steel. The star axles can easily be replaced using the patented Lubo Quick Disconnect.

Adjustable plates have been attached above the breaker deck. The material remains on the breaker deck for longer because it bumps against the plates and falls straight back down. As the material bounces against the breaker deck more frequently, it will break more easily.

Any funnels for the glass fraction will be made of Hardox steel.

To simplify replacing the star axles, the glass breaker has been fitted with a crane gantry. The crane gantry has a travelling crab. A hoist can be attached to the travelling crab. Star axles can be hoisted in and out of the screening deck with the hoist. The screen has an inspection door. The door has an electric safety switch. The screen is covered with steel lids. They are bolted to the frame.

The drive is made of high-quality materials. Standard, the Lubo star screen is driven by 5.5 kW SEW motor reductors. The adjacent star axles are driven by means of chains and sprockets. The speed of the screening deck is variable due to the use of frequency regulators. You can set the screen size by adjusting the speed.
