The customer was experiencing severe screen blinding on its scalping screen as crusher fines packed into the screen openings. Material buildup restricted throughput and forced operators to stop production to manually clear the screens with hammers, creating unnecessary downtime and limiting overall plant efficiency.
The operation needed a screening solution that would eliminate screen blinding, reduce maintenance interruptions, and restore consistent production.
Buffalo's TechSquad® partnered with the customer to engineer a custom rubber panel solution specifically for the application. The team designed, tooled, and manufactured flexible rubber panels that allow the screen openings to flex during operation, preventing material buildup while maintaining efficient screening performance.
The custom rubber panel solution exceeded expectations by eliminating screen blinding and enabling continuous operation without stopping to clean the screens.
