SPLITTER spiral shaft screen - the separation all-rounder
The powerful, self-cleaning and wear-resistant SPLITTER® spiral shaft separator effortlessly masters the most difficult tasks that push even proven separation technologies to their limits. Our patented screening system impresses with its high throughput and requires only minimal cleaning and maintenance. Separation itself is based on size, physical properties, weight and shape - up to three fractions are possible depending on the material composition.
The SPLITTER®, which appears to be driven and supported on one side (supported on both sides within the casing tube), combines the roller conveyor effect with the Archimedean screw principle. The material is transported laterally by the spiral shaft and simultaneously in the conveying direction by the roller track effect. This overlapping of movements distributes the material very efficiently and effectively. The special difference to conventional screening systems lies in the screen gap that runs out at the open end. This allows impurities to be discharged safely and gently. With this special design, the actual screen shafts constantly clean each other of build-up and windings.
The SPLITTER® is available in three different screen deck variants and therefore offers the right screening solution for almost any material.

SPLITTER technology is a high-performance screening process for the efficient separation of challenging materials such as construction waste, wood, compost, excavated soil or commercial waste.
The SPLITTER separates materials according to size, weight, shape and physical properties. It combines the roller conveyor effect with the archimedean screw principle. Thanks to this unique design, the material is simultaneously moved laterally and in the conveying direction, which enables highly efficient distribution. The decisive advantage over other screening systems is the special design with the screen gap running out at the open end, which removes impurities safely and gently. In addition, this design means that the screen shafts constantly clean themselves of wrappers and build-up. Depending on the material, up to three fractions can be separated.
This unique combination makes it possible to reliably separate even clogged, moist or unshredded material. Screening is carried out precisely according to size, physical properties, weight and shape. A major advantage is the high material throughput and low maintenance requirements, which significantly reduces operating costs. Depending on the requirements, up to three different fractions are possible in a single operation with this technology.
The SPLITTER technology, a spiral shaft screen patented in many aspects, is an invention of Anlagenbau Günther GmbH from Angersbach, Germany. At GÜNTHER, you will be advised by real experts in the field of screening and recycling technology. The quality of the invention is also recognised internationally: In North America, the screen is known as the "Gunther Screen", named after its inventor.
The SPLITTER is characterised by its unique versatility and high efficiency. Unlike many other systems, the SPLITTER can reliably screen a wide variety of materials, even difficult ones such as loamy excavated soil or building rubble. Its robust design and high adaptability make it the ideal solution for a wide range of applications, from coarse to fine processing. The result is a high material throughput with minimal maintenance.
If you want to buy a spiral shaft screening plant that meets the highest quality standards, Anlagenbau Günther from Wartenberg, Hesse, is the first port of call. As the inventor of spiral shaft technology, we offer you a solution based on decades of expertise. Each of our screening plants is manufactured in our factory in Wartenberg, Germany, which emphasises our promise of quality "Made in Germany". We guarantee you a screen that is perfectly customised to your project with low maintenance requirements. Anlagenbau Günther offers a complete service - from planning to installation - all from a single source.
The SPLITTER spiral shaft screen has established itself on the market as the leading unit for the pre-separation of bulk solids. While other screening technologies often work less efficiently in this area, the SPLITTER delivers outstanding results. By adjusting the parameters - such as the size, number and rotational speed of the shafts, the inclination of the screen deck and the material feed - the SPLITTER screen deck can also be adjusted for fine processing by the experts at Anlagenbau Günther. The versatility therefore lies in the precise planning and configuration.
The SPLITTER spiral shaft screen from Anlagenbau Günther is designed to be extremely low-maintenance. The special arrangement of the screen shafts minimises the risk of winding and enables the screen deck to be largely self-cleaning. The built-in maintenance-free bearings require no additional lubrication. Our customers from the field regularly confirm that the spiral shaft screen technology from Anlagenbau Günther impresses with its low maintenance requirements and thus sustainably reduces operating costs.
The SPLITTER screen deck is available in three versions, which differ in terms of design and area of application:
- SPLITTER Flat: Flat screen deck with the screen gap running out at the open end of the screen shaft. Ideal for fast material separation in standardised applications
- SPLITTER Wave: Screen deck orientated upwards on one side, where the material is only discharged in one direction. This produces two fractions
- SPLITTER Twin Wave: Screen deck raised on both sides, which keeps the material on the deck for longer. This is particularly advantageous for loosening adhering or clayey components of stones and achieving a more intensive separation
Due to its separation properties, the standard SPLITTER has established itself as a reliable pre-separation element in coarse processing. It is primarily used to efficiently separate coarse materials and prepare them for further processing.
The fine splitter, on the other hand, has been specially developed for fine screening. Its shafts are smaller and mounted on the screen deck with a closer centre distance, resulting in significantly smaller screen gaps. This means that very fine screen cuts can also be realised. The fine splitter is ideal when precise material separation is required in the small grain range - for example in recycling processes, excavated soil or mineral raw materials.
The SPLITTER is indeed primarily designed for processing solid materials and is used in a variety of applications in this area. However, Anlagenbau Günther has developed special systems that can also process wet materials. The MULTIWASH HOOK and SPLITTER CUBE machines are specially designed for wet material intake, such as faecal sludge, sewer sand, road sweepings or vacuum truck material. With these systems, the mineral components can be efficiently extracted and processed from the wet materials.
