Major’s Flex-Mat Modular Plus screen media is specially designed to withstand harsh screening conditions with the most abrasive materials, such as granite and basalt, according to the company. The screen media includes all the benefits of Flex-Mat – high open area, efficient stratification, no blinding or pegging, and improved wear life. The Plus series bonds Optimumwire with distinctive lime green polyurethane strips rather than weaving them. This allows wires to vibrate independently from end to end under material contact. The high frequency of the wires – 8,000 to 10,000 cycles per minute – adds to the vibration of the screenbox – 800 to 900 cycles per minute – to speed up material separation and passing.
Tech to stay on top of maintenance
Haver & Boecker Niagara’s newest addition to its Pulse portfolio – Pulse condition monitoring (CM) – is designed to monitor the health of vibrating screens using modern algorithms and AI. Pulse CM provides accurate measurements and forecasts that are complemented by information that is easy to understand. As Haver & Boecker Niagara describes, Pulse CM is a wireless diagnostics tool that helps mineral processing operations be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to maintenance efforts. This leads to increased efficiency, decreased downtime and improved reliability. Similar to Pulse vibration analysis, Haver & Boecker Niagara says Pulse condition monitoring analyzes data to help users get the most out of their equipment. Unlike Pulse vibration analysis, Pulse condition monitoring uses permanently installed sensors to monitor equipment 24/7.
Tracked scalping plant offers users flexibility, optimum production
Edge Innovate introduced its Edge Screenpro S18 heavy-duty tracked scalping screen. The Screenpro S18 features an 18-ft. x 6-ft. two-deck screen that has interchangeable flip flow and conventional scalper screens, providing increased flexibility, according to Edge. Designed to process materials such as aggregates, construction waste, sand and gravel, soils and organic materials, the Screenpro S18 can be utilized as a stand-alone unit or placed before or after a primary crusher. Additional design features include a low-level feed hopper, two- or three-way split configuration, hydraulic folding discharge conveyors for a quick transition from operation to transport and a fully integrated power unit with large service access. Edge’s load management system constantly monitors conveyor load pressures and regulates feeder speed, resulting in increased uptime, less material overload and optimum screening production at any given time, according to the company.
