Auger Screen
Rotating auger shafts that meter and screen in one step — built for the wet, heavy, unscreenable streams.
The Sherbrooke OEM auger screen is a deck of rotating auger shafts that conveys, meters, and screens simultaneously: material advances along the augers while undersize falls between the shafts. Because the screening surface is itself the conveyor, wet, heavy, and matted streams — organics-rich MSW, wet C&D fines, contaminated soils — keep moving instead of blinding a static deck. Shaft profile, spacing, and VFD-controlled speed set the cut and the throughput, engineered per project and fabricated in Sherbrooke, Quebec.
Where It Fits
- Wet, organics-heavy MSW where disc and vibrating screens blind
- Metering and screening combined at the head of a fines or organics line
- Heavy, abrasive streams that need positive mechanical conveyance through the screen zone
Configuration & Options
Every unit is engineered per project — these are the configuration choices and options we quote against, not limits.
| Shafts | Auger shaft count, profile, and spacing per cut and capacity |
|---|---|
| Cut point | Set by shaft spacing; engineered per stream |
| Speed | VFD-adjustable — doubles as a metering control |
| Wear protection | AR or CHT wear surfaces per duty |
| Chute work | Mild steel, stainless, or CHT chutes |
| Structure | Support height per line elevation |
Construction
| Frame | Structural steel frame, machined shaft mounting |
|---|---|
| Drive | Geared shaft drives, VFD-controlled |
| Bearings | Heavy-duty flange bearings |
| Guarding | All rotating parts guarded to OSHA requirements |
| Supports | Bolted structural steel, braced and mechanically anchored |
Auger Screen — Frequently Asked Questions
When is an auger screen the right choice?
When the stream is too wet, heavy, or matted for discs and too sticky for vibration — the augers mechanically drag material across the screening zone, so conveyance never depends on the material flowing on its own.
How is the cut size set?
Primarily by the spacing between auger shafts, with shaft profile and speed tuning how the burden turns over and presents to the gaps. Like every screen we build, the cut is engineered per project rather than picked from a chart.
Does the auger damage recoverables?
The augers convey rather than shred — shaft speed is kept in the metering range. Where deliberate size reduction is wanted, that is a shredder duty, specified separately.
