What is a Flip-Flop Screen?

A Flip-Flop Screen, also known as a Flip-Flow screen, is engineered specifically for difficult-to-screen materials such as sticky, moist, or fine fractions. Where traditional screening systems often clog or jam, the flip-flop technology delivers consistent and efficient results even with small mesh sizes.

Through partnerships with leading technology providers, Arcler integrates flip-flop screening machines into waste management and recycling lines, ensuring optimal separation in municipal solid waste (MSW), composting, RDF processing, and industrial recycling.

Working Principle of Flip-Flop Screen

The flip-flop screen waste vibrating screen operates on a unique three-phase oscillation system:
Circular Motion in Feed Zone – Rapid loosening of incoming material, enabling high feed rates even with sticky or wet waste.
Linear Motion in Middle Zone – Ensures maximum contact between material and screening surface for efficient classification.
Elliptical Motion in Discharge Zone – Provides intensive near-cutpoint separation for precise sizing.

The screening decks are mounted on two moving frames (external and internal). As they move alternately, the flexible polyurethane screen mats are tightened and relaxed continuously, preventing material buildup and keeping the screening surface open.

    Applications of Flip-Flop Screens

    Flip-Flop Screens are widely used in challenging waste and recycling applications, including:
    Municipal Solid Waste
    Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) – separating fines and organic fractions
    legacy-waste
    Compost & Green Waste – efficient classification of moist organic material
    Industrial Waste
    Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) / SRF – sizing material for alternative fuel processing
    Bulky Waste
    Construction & Demolition Waste (C&D) – handling sticky soils and fines
    Papermill Waste
    Coal, Coke & Minerals – effective screening of difficult bulk materials
    Electronic Waste
    Slag & Shredded Materials – reliable separation under tough conditions
