MeshcapeTM Woven Wire Square Harp Screens

MeshcapeTM Woven Wire Square Harp Screen Cloths are made with stainless steel, Vibro OptimaxTM and other exotic materials and are manufactured using round wires. The wires are woven, forming a wave pattern with transverse wire clusters holding the wires together to provide excellent open area for peak performance.

Square Harp has excellent open area and is ideal for applications where pegging and blinding of apertures are an issue.

Poly Ripple - Square and TRIA Construction

MeshcapeTM Poly Ripple

Screen PanelPoly Ripple (Polyurethane Vibro OptimaxTM) panels are screens with non-woven wires bound together by polyurethane bands to reduce, or even eliminate blinding and pegging of screen surfaces.

The polyurethane bands are located above the bucker bars creating a flat surface in which the wires can move independently. The flat, more active screen surface reduces build-up and increases throughput, virtually eliminating the need to shut down for screen cleaning.

Poly-Ripple is used in both civil aggregate and mining screening applications.

TIROTM PanelsFLSmidth® TIRO panels are an extension of the Poly Ripple panel in which smaller panels are snapped onto the support frame of the screen.

The flat more active screen surface reduces build up and increases throughput virtually eliminating the need to shut down a screen for cleaning. TIRO is a safe, highly efficient, non pegging, non blinding modular wire screening system. Only worn panels need to be replaced, they are lighter and easier to handle than traditional woven wire screens.

Ideal For

• Sand and gravel industry

• Mineral processing

Features and Benefits

• Reduces or eliminates blinding and pegging

• Light weight screens• Polyurethane edge strips - no

sharp edges• Easier and safer to handle• Quickly installed• Manufactured with tension hooks• Field performance comparisons show

that on a wet day, Poly Ripple screens will approach dry-day production of conventional woven wire screens

Ideal For

• Mineral processing

• Aggregate industry

• Sizing

• Scalping

Features and Benefits

• Rectangular wires (not round) to improve wear results and provide higher open area

• Only worn panels require replacement• Screen panels much smaller than a

full-hooked screen panel• Screen panels are lighter and safer for

maintenance teams• Easy replacement - carried out with a

lever and mallet

Polyurethane Tension Mats

Screens

• Quartz• Silicon• Sand• Gravel• Scalping• Sizing• Mineral processing• Aggregate processing

Features and Benefits

• Fully cast screen cloth available in both slotted and square apertures• Thicknesses of 10mm, 20mm to 30mm• Reinforced using stainless steel hooks - tough durability• Screen cloths custom designed to suit light, medium or heavy

duty application• Minimised pegging and blinding• Frequency of scheduled stoppages caused by screening surface

Wedge Wire Sieve Bend Screens

FLSmidth® Wedge Wire Sieve Bend Screens can be custom made and designed for applications in a wide range of industries. Used to separate solids from liquids, the curved screen of a sieve bend provides greater capacity than flat wedge screens due to increased gravitational forces on material flowing against the curve. Sieve Bend Screens are also known as side hill screens, parabolic screens, run down screens, gravity screens and DSM screens.

At FLSmidth, our high quality sieve bend screens consist of a concave curved profile wire screen mounted in a frame with the screen openings either perpendicular or parallel to the flow. We can supply both

FLSmidth® Wedge Wire Trommel Screens are highly efficient cylindrical rotating wedge wire screens used to separate solids from liquids or solids from solids.

The flow of material is fed into the inside of the drum and the screen where the centrifuge rotating action forces any particles smaller than the slot size through the screen and any particles larger than the slot size off the end of the screen.

The wedge shape of the profile wires help minimise pegging and blinding. FLSmidth supplies complete trommel units, including a motor and base frame, or a replacement screen for existing units.

Continuous Slot Aperture Panel

Ideal for

• Hard rock mining• Aggregate industry• Coal processing• Fine sizing• Dewatering• Drain and rinse screening

Features and Benefits

• Up to 30% greater open area providing substantially increased throughput

• Superior efficiency in media recovery• Significantly lower moisture level on discharge• High wear resistance• Increased operating life

The Continuous Slot Panel is one of the highest open area, fine aperture modular screen panel in the world today, combining the advantages of the long wear life characteristics of polyurethane with the high open area pattern of profile wire.

Open area, or ratio of apertures to total panel surface area, is of crucial importance to screen users at a time when plants are upgrading capacity to increase profitability and maximizing screen performance.

Open area for the continuous slot pattern is about 40 to 50 percent greater than standard polyurethane modular panels of the same aperture, which means greater throughput through the same screen or alternatively much better quality of the screen products for the same feed.

Continuous Slot Aperture Panels

Continuous Slot Aperture Panels

In fine apertures, deviation from tolerance can lead to reduced recovery, large losses of valuable screen product and reduce plant profit.

Continuous slot panels have +/-10 μm standard deviation over the specified aperture size.

Field tested over a period of two years in a number of coal screens, continuous slot panels can be used in any fine aperture (less than 0.06 in. / 1.5 mm) screening application. Continuous Slot is compatible with horizontal or banana type screen decks and is ideally suited for dewatering, de-sliming fine classification and drain/rinse heavy media recovery applications.The Continuous Slot Aperture design is compatible with the PIPOTM Two and PIPOTM Three modular systems.

Harp Screens

Harp Screens are used for difficult materials, where blinding and pegging make screening with square mesh limiting. They screen sticky and damp materials, where screening with a woven mesh would not be possible.

Harp Screens will generally screen at double the rate of the equivalent aperture woven wire and can be fitted to any end-tensioned vibrating screen, without modification to the screen body.

Cross Harp Wire Screen A Cross Harp Wire Screen (piano screen) is made up of single strands of straight, highly tensioned wire, connected at either end of the screen with a sheet metal hook. Spacer strips sit over the top of capping rubbers to maintain correct aperture. This produces a long, uninterrupted slot between the capping rubbers.
