MDS debuts a heavy-duty scalping screen

MDS has launched the M300, representing a major shift for the company.

The M300 is a heavy-duty scalping screen designed to meet the most demanding applications. MDS, however, has historically focused on heavy duty trommels.

The M300 now brings their design expertise to scalping screens, offering the industry a powerful scalper with a double deck vibrating grid, built for efficiency, operator-friendliness and performance.

“Our goal with the M300 was to deliver a machine that sets a new benchmark in operator convenience and operational efficiency,” said Steven Keenan, Engineering Manager for MDS. 

“With the M300, we’ve addressed many of the common challenges in the field, from time-consuming setup to difficult maintenance tasks, all while maintaining the durability and performance that MDS machines are known for.”

The M300 is purpose-built from the ground up, engineered to maximize operational efficiency and minimize downtime. Its fully hydraulic setup eliminates the need for on-site lifting, speeding up setup times and aiding ease of use, even in the most challenging environments.

Heavy-duty scalping 

The M300 has a heavy-duty, aggressive double-deck grid designed for optimal performance in tough applications. Equipped with a robust T-Bar cassette top deck and mesh bottom deck, the machine delivers precise separation of materials, allowing operators to efficiently screen challenging materials. The large 1,400 mm conveyor belt handles excess capacity with ease, making the M300 a high performing scalper.

A highlight of the M300 is its advanced control system, allowing operators to start or stop the entire plant with the push of a single button. This enhancement simplifies operation, while the swing-out engine design allows for easy, hassle-free maintenance access, minimizing downtime and supporting day-to-day functionality.

With its compact design and hydraulic folding main conveyor, the M300 is easy to transport between job sites, offering versatility to operators working across multiple locations. 

Additionally, the hydraulic grid raise system and a variable-speed collection conveyor provide added flexibility, allowing the machine to adapt to a wide range of materials and operating conditions.

The M300 has a high-performance hydraulic system, complete with cast iron pumps, motors and a hydraulic cooler, to provide long-lasting durability in the most extreme environments. 

The M300 is now available worldwide.
