  Description  

The ORTNER is a revolutionary concept for dewatering, removing fines, classifying and rinsing sand and other materials up to
2 inches. The ORTNER has the performance capabilities and advantages unmatched by other machinery.

Ortner can wash fine and course material up to 3 inches. The flexibility of The ORTNER® enables you to produce many varied products with one machine.

Dry material may be fed to the ORTNER® to remove excess fines or rinse coarse material by adding a small quantity of water.

When fed a wet slurry, as from a density separator or a hydrocyclone, the ORTNER® may be used to dewater the product. The ORTNER® may be used to remove excess fines from the slurry or it may classify the slurry.

  Operation  

The operation and principle are simple. Material is fed to a slowly revolving pan on an incline and vibrated at high speed. The high speed vibration quickly separates the various sizes of material with the fines and water rising to the top and flowing over the pan's edge to the discharge. The coarser particles sink to the bottom. The rotating pan carries the settled particles up the machine and out of the water, where a stationary plow diverts the dewatered material to a center discharge spout. The driving and vibrating mechanism is mounted under the pan, preventing any contamination with the water and processed material, thus increasing the life of the components.

It is possible to vary the angle, speed, and vibrations of the pan. This gives the ORTNER® a wide range of flexibility and increases its capacity and efficiency.

  Design Features  

DRIER PRODUCT. High efficiency produces dry product for ease of conveying and stockpiling.

LESS POWER. Horsepower requirements range from 2-15 HP depending on model. Normally one-fifth the power consumption of conventional machines.

HIGH CAPACITY. Unmatched performance capabilities and flexibility.

LESS WATER. A relatively small amount of water is needed to rinse and remove excess fines.

LESS WEAR. Lowest wear and maintenance cost results from simple design.

LESS WEIGHT. Compact and lightweight for portability and easy installation.

  Ortner® Selection and Tests  

The proper ORTNER® application and sizing must take into consideration the type of material, feed gradations, product specifications, water in feed and availability, tonnage required and feed particle shape. Aggregates Equipment, Inc. has testing facilities to assure proper ORTNER® selection and applications. Aggregates Equipment, Inc. will be pleased to test and make recommendations.
