 screener in a longer frame, modified so that extra cooling fans and dedusting equipment can be added when needed. That flexibility makes the new Witte 300 classifier cost $2000 to $3000 more than the basic Witte 200 classifier.

The 300 has a 3-ft-long frame, twice as long as on the 200, and comes with extra elbows and fittings. Adding cooling fans and dedusting with cylones or bag collection costs about $15,000. A prototype 22-in.-wide Witte 300 was built in June and successfully tested on 2500 lb/hr of talc-filled polyolefin. Tel: (908) 689-6500 * PTDirect: 262TV
