RECYCLING, JOEST
JOEST excels in car recycling with the Flip-Flow Screen TOPCILLA
For a world-leading US processor of car recycling, JOEST has produced one of its biggest TOPCILLA flip-flow screens yet for classifying light materials.
During car recycling, the JOEST flip-flow screen is used after shredding to classify lightweight materials in preparation for further processing.
TOPCILLA combines the advantages of two different screening principles in one machine — the proven JOEST TopSpin cascade screen on the upper deck and the unique Flip-Flow Screen OSCILLA on the lower deck.
The upper deck of the TOPCILLA combi-screen is configured as a TopSpin cascade screen with self-cleaning screening surfaces. Each individual screen opening is opened in the conveying direction, similar to a finger screen. Continuous self-cleaning is ensured by an overlap between the screen’s movement and the screening surface. The upper deck performs separation at 35–40 mm and, thanks to the special cascade screen surface, blockages are virtually impossible.
The Flip-Flow Screen OSCILLA is housed in the lower deck. OSCILLA features leaf springs between the two vibrating frames. This allows very large relative vibration ranges and extreme acceleration values in excess of 50G. Fine adjustment is also achieved by varying the number of leaf springs for each area of application. For this kind of combination screen, the high flexibility achieved by adjusting the leaf springs ensures that the vibration conditions required for both screening principles can be implemented successfully.
The upper TopSpin sieve needs a large circular motion, whereas the lower flip-flow screen requires a wide relative amplitude. In order to achieve the best possible control, a twin shaft was installed. Special features of this machine are the high output rate of 40 tons per hour and the large screening surface with 2.40 x 8 m per screen deck.
The JOEST Flip-Flow Screen TOPCILLA has already been delivered and installed. Commissioning is planned for the end of the year.

With the successful completion of the second order for an Irish customer, JOEST has supplied a particularly slim and compact version of the OSCILLA Classic flip-flow screen, specially designed for use in electronic scrap processing – an area that is constantly growing and placing ever greater demands on separation technology.
The COEMBO 2024 in Coesfeld was a great success for us! We had an amazing experience as exhibitors and want to thank everyone who visited our booth and showed interest. We were especially excited to receive so many internship inquiries and are hopeful to see some of you soon as new apprentices joining the JOESTeam.
At JOEST, we always focus on efficiency and reliability when it comes to successfully implementing complex projects. A current example of this is the full modernization of a green sand line at our long-standing partner Fritz Winter – and that in an impressively short time.
In February, JOEST secured an order for the delivery of a specialized 15-meter-long vibrating conveyor for a Serbian producer of sugar products. This machine is an integral part of the production process, conveying freshly centrifuged sugar with a throughput of up to 70 tons per hour at a moisture content of 0,2-0,4% and a product temperature of about 65°C.
