HPL/HEX Series, screening drums

The original Rotar invention, drum capacity to 3,000 L, the largest screening surface on the market.

In the late 1970s, Rotar founder Hendrick Pleysier invented the screening drum to replace expensive, labour-intensive slab-washing methods, and forty-plus years later it remains the most efficient on-site solution for screening, sorting, washing, mixing and cleaning materials. Eight models cover excavators (HEX) from 15 to 35 tonnes and wheel loaders (HPL) of any size, with drum capacities from 800 L to 3,000 L. The new EVO operating system removes the need for electrical control, connect two hydraulic hoses and start screening. Distributed in Australia by Monty Products.

The Original Pleysier Design

Invented by Rotar founder Hendrick Pleysier in the late 1970s to replace labour-intensive slab washing, refined across four decades to remain the market reference.

EVO Operating System

New EVO operating system eliminates electrical control, connect two hydraulic hoses to your excavator or wheel loader and start screening. Fewer failure points, simpler setup.

Largest Surface on the Market

Drum capacities from 800 L to 3,000 L give the largest screening surface available, handles materials of any shape or size with high throughput.
