German term

Spannwellensieb

German to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering
Unfortunately in a list for a bid. I found pictures online just by googling the term, and I know it's a type of stationary screening or sieve unit, but I don't know what it's called, or if there's a better, more precise term than stationary screening unit.

Bernd Runge Feb 8, 2010:
Liwell seems to be the most common brand name of these screens. In the UK/US they are often referred to as Liwell(-type) screens/screening machines or as flexible mat screens (with unique flip-flow action) - sometimes even as flip-flow screens.

damping shaft sieve (or maybe screen)

A quick search turned up damping shaft as a translation (see link below). As I noted, just guessing and maybe it will be helpful. Good luck!
