Increasing Screening Efficiency In Your Gravel Operation…
Major Wire has the experienced and knowledgeable Territory Manager field support and Authorized Dealer Network to help you choose the right screen media (also known as screen cloth and screening media) option to solve your daily challenges as an gravel producer. Upon request, these Major Wire experts can visit your operation and provide a no-cost plant performance audit of your aggregate screening needs to fine tune each screen’s production to its greatest potential.
Many gravel producers are using Flex-Mat® 3 High-Performance, Self-Cleaning Screen Media to boost throughput of spec material by up to 40% over woven wire or polyurethane panels because it increases the open area available on every screen deck by up to 30% and eliminates blinding, pegging and clogging.
For the past decade, Flex-Mat 3 has gained a reputation for solving blinding problems on the bottom deck. But with the industry’s largest range of openings and wire diameters, Flex-Mat 3 tensioned and modular screen media is proving to be a solution for top and middle decks as well—providing excellent throughput, eliminating pegging, producing a cleaner retained product and increasing screen media wear life.
Working with everything from basalt, sand and gravel to limestone and aglime, Flex-Mat 3’s wear life exceeds that of traditional woven wire (also known as woven wire screens) by up to three times because there are no cross wires with high wear spots as there are with woven wire—providing a greater return on investment without making major screen box changes.
Depending on the spec product desired and the size of the original material, most gravel producers choose the Flex-Mat 3 D configuration because it consistently produces accurate material separation. Flex-Mat 3 T (heavy-duty) is used in applications with high material impact on the screen. Flex-Mat 3 S significantly reduces fines, while Flex-Mat 3 T for fine screening reduces blinding of very fine material.
