Gilson Porta-Screen: Portable, Durable, and High-Performance Aggregate Testing Solution

The Gilson Porta-Screen has been a trusted choice for quality control in construction aggregate testing for decades. Engineered for exceptional performance and durability, this portable screening machine is perfect for field or laboratory applications. Designed for ease of use, it delivers reliable results for a wide range of materials, making it an indispensable tool for aggregate separation and other material testing needs.

Optimized for Aggregate Separation

The Porta-Screen is specially designed for separating mineral aggregates within the 2in (50.8mm) to No.16 (1.18mm) range. However, it is also capable of separating material as fine as No.200 (75μm), offering versatility for a variety of applications. Its lightweight yet durable build ensures easy transport without sacrificing performance.

Versatile Screening Applications

This machine doesn’t just handle construction aggregates—it works with many other materials as well. With a maximum sample capacity of up to 60lb (27.3kg) per test (depending on the material being tested), it’s ideal for industries such as mining, recycling, and agriculture, where efficient and precise material separation is crucial.

Durable Construction and Smooth Operation

The Porta-Screen features a powerful 1/2hp motor, a drive shaft, a connecting rod, and a rotating weight counterbalance mechanism, all enclosed within a sturdy enameled steel case. The counterbalanced system ensures smooth, stable, and quiet operation without requiring any mounting. The vibrating assembly is mounted on hardened guide pins, ensuring long-lasting durability. Leveling the machine is easy with adjustable support legs and a built-in bubble level indicator for stable placement.

Advanced Timer for Precision Testing

A built-in electronic digital timer enhances repeatability and precision. The large LED display allows you to set test durations up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds. A 5-second audible alarm signals the end of the test, and the timer automatically resets to the programmed time for repeat tests. A pause function is also available, allowing you to temporarily stop the cycle without losing your progress.

Screen Tray System for Efficiency

The Porta-Screen accommodates up to five screen trays plus a pan, offering ample screening capacity. Trays are easily locked into place using dual hand clamp levers and can be quickly removed for emptying, cleaning, or weighing. Trays are available in a variety of wire cloth sizes, ranging from No.4 to No.200, with added support ribs and backup cloth for finer meshes. Replaceable stainless steel wire mesh is available for all sizes, ensuring long-term usability.
