MAJOR Offers FLEX-MAT Modular PLUS Advanced Screen Media
BY AsphaltPro Staff
MAJOR, Candiac, Quebec, offers the FLEX-MAT Modular PLUS advanced screen media to heighten screening performance and wear life. The product is specially designed to withstand harsh screening conditions with abrasive materials, such as granite and basalt.
“We’re always looking at ways to help producers get the best end product,” MAJOR President Bernard Betts said. “What better way than to optimize the design of our efficient FLEX-MAT product for even better performance.”
The efficiency-enhancing characteristics of all FLEX-MAT screen media, including the modular PLUS series, are created by bonding 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 screen box—800 to 900 cycles per minute—to speed up material separation and passing. The increased screening action improves material throughput while virtually eliminating near-size pegging on the top decks and fine material blinding and clogging on the bottom decks, resulting in a lower cost of production per ton, according to the manufacturer.
