The right questions.
Clear answers.
Overloading, uneven feeding, unsuitable screen mesh and tumbling settings that do not suit the material can reduce screening efficiency.
For materials prone to sticking/blinding and applications requiring long service life.
Moisture is assessed together with screen openings, feed distribution and tumbling motion. Sticky or agglomerating materials may require separate evaluation of pre-drying and screen cleaning.
Determined by the combination of the desired number of fractions, recirculation setup, and capacity.
It generally increases, but feed distribution and material properties set the limits.
With an enclosed cover, proper chute design, and integrated filtration/dust collection.
Motion settings depend on material flow, feed rate and required separation quality. The adjustment range and procedure are assessed for the machine’s drive arrangement.
Overloading, incorrect screen media selection, highly abrasive material, and irregular feeding.
A combination of moisture, fines, and stickiness, along with the wrong type of screen media, causes blinding.
Bearings, mounting bolts, screen tension, the condition of springs/isolators, and chute wear.
Description
The Metkan MCS circular screen belongs to the tumbler screening machine family. Also known in Turkey as Alger elek or dansöz elek, this system separates powders and granules into fractions according to the screen openings.
Three-dimensional tumbling motion distributes and moves material across the screening surface. Feed distribution, moisture, fines content and target cut size are assessed together to define the screening conditions.
Applications
When screening calcite, quartz sand and suitable mineral powders, capacity depends on material properties, screen openings and the number of decks. Selection is based on target fractions and material trials where needed.

Tumbler screening machines for powders and granules
The Metkan MCS circular screen uses a three-dimensional tumbling motion. Known in Turkey as Alger elek or dansöz elek, this tumbler screen family separates powders, granules and suitable mineral materials. Screen openings, deck count, feed distribution and moisture are assessed together for the required fractions.
Yes. The Metkan MCS series belongs to the tumbler screen family, also called Alger elek or dansöz elek in the Turkish market. Selection of the MCS-2600 is based on target cut size, material properties and throughput requirements.

How to Select a Tumbler Screen? Capacity, Deck Count and Material Properties
The question of how to select a circular vibrating screen is among the most frequently researched technical topics for businesses establishing crushing and screening plants. This is because a circular vibrating screen is not merely a machine that separates material; it is also a critical piece of equipment that directly influences product quality, capacity balance, and production line efficiency. If material discharged from the crusher is not classified correctly, product fractions become mixed, the circulating load increases, and the plant's overall flow is compromised. Therefore, the selection of a circular vibrating screen should not be treated as a secondary concern during the investment process. The right model, screening surface, and deck configuration ensure production stability.
Read the technical articleWhat Causes Clogging in Tumbler Screens? 7 Technical Reasons for Reduced Screening Efficiency
The circular vibrating screen is a vital piece of screening equipment that separates materials—such as granules, powders, minerals, aggregates, construction chemicals, and various bulk materials—based on particle size. A properly functioning circular vibrating screen on the production line improves product quality, balances capacity, and ensures the stability of subsequent processes. However, when blinding (clogging) occurs on the screen surface, production efficiency drops rapidly. Material fails to pass through the screen apertures and accumulates on top; the feed flow is disrupted, and the facility fails to meet its target capacity. Therefore, the issue of clogging in a circular vibrating screen is not merely a minor maintenance problem; it represents a technical loss of efficiency that impacts the entire production line.

Dust Management in Micronized Product Production
The production of micronized products requires robust dust management due to the very fine particle sizes involved. Stages such as grinding, crushing, screening, conveying, silo storage, and packaging can release fine particles into the air. Failure to control these particles reduces visibility in the production area. Furthermore, it compromises worker comfort, leads to the fouling of equipment surfaces, and increases product loss. Heavy dust accumulation also makes it difficult for maintenance teams to detect malfunctions early. Therefore, facilities should not view dust control merely as a cleaning task. Effective dust management encompasses a combination of process design, filtration, enclosed conveying, proper air balance, and a disciplined maintenance routine.
