Eliminating Screen Blinding with PFX™ Straight Slot: How the Right Screening Solution Increased Production

01. The Challenge

A recycled aggregate operation was experiencing severe screen blinding on the top deck of its screening plant. Material buildup prevented fines from passing through to the second deck, forcing operators to stop production multiple times each shift to clean the screens manually.

The operation needed a screening solution that would eliminate blinding, improve throughput, and reduce production downtime.

02. The Solution

Buffalo's TechSquad® evaluated the application and recommended replacing the existing square opening screens with PFX™ Straight Slot screens. Based on experience solving similar screening challenges, the team identified a solution designed to reduce blinding, improve material flow, and keep the operation running efficiently.

03. The Result

The new screening solution delivered immediate improvements in plant performance by eliminating screen blinding and reducing production interruptions.

As a result, the customer experienced:

  • Eliminated screen blinding on the top deck
  • Reduced downtime caused by manual screen cleanouts
  • Increased throughput and overall plant efficiency
  • Recovered an estimated 1–2 hours of production per shift
  • Improved confidence in Buffalo's application expertise and TechSquad® recommendations
