Weir’s ENDURON ® Elite ETX Exciter is a groundbreaking advancement in vibratory screening technology, delivering the world’s only mega-newton linear-motion exciter, ca- pable of generating forces equivalent to a fully laden A380 passenger jet on take-off – 12 to 16 times per second. This patented innovation redefines a 50-year-old mechanism, setting a
units from Weir’s Alrode plant expansion are expected to start rolling out later this year. Weir’s research, development and innova- tion behind the ENDURON ® Elite range of screens include creating the largest exciters available on the market. Having developed the LTX exciter to generate the +1 mega newton force to vibrate these screens, Weir went on to develop its second-generation exciter – the ETX, with 1.28 mega newton force, which has
Weir’s large ENDURON ® Elite double-deck banana screens are being produced at the Alrode manufacturing facility in South Africa.
Weir now offers EDURON ® screen media panels to complement the ENDURON ® range of vibrating screens.
