ELL Series™ inclined screens

High-capacity inclined screening solution

Last updated Jun 2026

Metso ELL Series™ screens combine variable elliptical motion with a robust inclined design to deliver efficient fine screening at high tonnage. Engineered for demanding applications, they improve throughput, enhance accuracy and reduce downtime – helping you get more performance from your process without increasing footprint.

Higher throughput

Increase capacity by up to 20% compared to conventional circular motion screens – helping you process more material without expanding your plant footprint.

Precise separation

Advanced elliptical motion improves material retention at discharge, enabling accurate classification even in demanding fine screening applications.

Reduced downtime

Maintenance-friendly design with proven components enables faster service and more consistent operation, supporting higher equipment availability.

Flexible performance

Adapts to varying feed conditions and applications, from dry to wet screening, across a wide range of ores and duties.

Built for demanding applications

Metso ELL Series™ screens are engineered for high-tonnage secondary and tertiary processes where screening performance directly impacts overall plant efficiency. They handle large volumes while maintaining accurate separation, especially in fine screening duties.

Typical applications include:

Final screening in crushing circuits
Dry and wet screening
Processing of metallic and non-metallic ores
High-throughput screening with significant fine material

High performance through advanced motion

ELL Series™ screens use variable elliptical motion to optimize screening performance across the entire deck.

This motion profile enables:

Faster material transport at the feed end → increased throughput
Improved retention at discharge → better separation accuracy

Compared to conventional circular motion screens, this results in:

Higher throughput potential
Improved fine screening efficiency
More consistent performance across varying conditions

Flexible and adaptable design

ELL Series™ screens are designed as a configurable platform to fit different plant layouts, operational requirements and applications.

Adjustable inclination (18°-22°) for optimized setup
Robust design for reliable operation in demanding conditions
Configurable options to match specific process needs
Deep feedbox for improved material distribution
Optimized deck spacing for safer and easier maintenance

Optimized for process performance

ELL Series™ screens are developed to work in balance with Metso crushing solutions, supporting efficient and stable plant operation.
