The customer was using a competitor's woven wire screen media on the third deck of a screening plant. During the rainy season, the 1/4-inch screen media became heavily blinded, requiring frequent shutdowns for screen cleaning. The excessive blinding reduced plant uptime, interrupted production, and required reprocessing of material.
Following an on-site evaluation, Buffalo recommended replacing the existing screen media with 1/4-inch PFX™ Self-Cleaning Screen Media. The independent wire vibration generated by the PFX™ design minimizes screen blinding, improves material flow, and increases screening efficiency. After reviewing the recommendation, the customer approved a field trial and installed the PFX™ screen media on the third deck.
After implementing 1/4-inch PFX™ Self-Cleaning Screen Media, the customer achieved immediate improvements in plant performance.
