The Multi-Slope Screen Deck can be adjusted from 45 degrees to 30 degrees in just 3 minutes. When screening gravel products, the deck can be moved to the optimal slope position for maximum production and efficiency.

Vibratory System

The SLG-78VF is equipped with a powerful vibratory system that operates at 3600 RPM. The system is one of the quietest operating screeners in the industry, allowing it to work onsite within urban areas. The vibratory motors are sealed away from the elements, making them maintenance-free and highly durable. The system draws minimal power and can operate on a standard 240v 50Hz circuit or a portable generator.

Riser Box (Optional Accessory)

Riser box for increased capacity

The Riser Box is designed to boost productivity by allowing you to handle more material, ultimately increasing the efficiency of your screening operations. It also stabilizes the movement of the screener, ensuring smoother and more consistent performance. Equipped with winches and 2-inch straps, the Riser Box can be easily installed or removed in less than five minutes, making it a convenient and practical addition to your equipment.

Bucket Transport Lugs (Optional Accessory)

Bucket transport lugs

Like other models in our lineup, the SLG-78 Static offers optional Bucket Transport Lugs. These lugs make transporting and moving the screener as easy and stress-free as possible, ensuring smooth and efficient mobility even in challenging or tight locations. This feature enhances the portability of the machine, making it easier to navigate difficult job sites using your equipment's bucket.

Operator feedback

DeSite operators on machine performance and build — not NZ freight or list pricing.

“I have the DeSite 78 and can do 30 to 35 yards an hour with my 3 yard loader. I have done hundreds and hundreds of yards of topsoil in the last 3 years with zero problems with it. Great working screener for small operators in my opinion.”
Derek Taylor 78 ProScreen
“I've had one for 8 years. Zero maintenance and has never let me down. Has been a great investment.”
Donnie Malcomb DeSite screener
“Absolutely love the SLG 78! Absolutely changed the business! Only wish is that I had gotten the SLG 108!!”
Cameron Henderson SLG-78
“I have to say your screening machine worked better than I could have ever imagined. Its ease of operation was simply fantastic. The product it produced was actually better than we could have purchased from local suppliers.”
