2–3x Longer Wear Life: How Buffalo's Urethane Pin & Leg Panels Reduced Maintenance and Lowered Costs

01. The Challenge

The customer was operating in a heavy-abrasion, high-water application where the competitor's rubber panels required replacement every 2–3 months. Frequent changeouts increased maintenance demands, created unnecessary downtime, and drove up operating costs.

02. The Solution

Buffalo recommended replacing the existing screen media with urethane pin-and-leg panels designed to withstand the demands of the application. The urethane construction provided greater durability while reducing the frequency of screen changeouts and simplifying maintenance for the customer's mechanics.

03. The Result

After installing Buffalo's urethane pin & leg panels, the customer experienced immediate improvements in wear life and maintenance efficiency.

• Increased screen life by 2–3 times compared to the previous screen media
• Reduced the frequency of screen changeouts
• Made maintenance easier for plant mechanics
• Lowered overall operating costs
• Continued using Buffalo products for future replacements
