BY AsphaltPro Staff
With winter upon us, aggregate producers face the critical task of preparing their equipment for seasonal challenges. The downtime during this period presents an ideal opportunity for thorough maintenance and inspection of vibrating screens and classifiers. Many operators utilize Compass Wire Cloth’s hardware and parts to ensure their equipment remains in optimal condition, thereby extending its lifespan and improving operational efficiency.
Preventive maintenance is essential to avoid costly breakdowns and repairs. Regular inspections can reveal issues such as broken wires that may necessitate more durable media, loose panels that require tightening, and worn components that need replacement. Compass Wire Cloth emphasizes the importance of a structured maintenance schedule: daily checks for cleanliness and loose parts, weekly inspections of structural components, monthly evaluations of motor mounts and belt tension, and annual assessments of rubber mounts and springs.
Compass Wire Cloth’s aggregate hardware & parts are engineered to withstand harsh operating conditions while enhancing the performance of aggregate processing equipment. By addressing common issues such as loose panels and damaged parts during winter maintenance, operators can significantly reduce the risk of unscheduled downtime and improve operational performance throughout the year.
The company’s range of parts and accessories for all aggregate OEM screener equipment includes screen bolts, tensioners and fasteners available in a wide range of sizes and styles, made from various steel grades. Side clamp rails are manufactured in standard A-36 steel for all makes and models, with thicknesses from ¼- to 5/16-inch. Channel rubber is stocked in various sizes with a flat top/open channel design to prevent premature screen wear. The lineup also features T-Scale rubber, spray bar deflectors, skirtboard rubber and classifier shoes.
