Professional Blending of Screen Media Delivers in Quality and Profits

They say good things come in threes. In the case of screening for mining and quarry operations, profit comes in three distinct phases: layered, basic and sharp screening. But how good they are – whether they maximise efficiency and improve the potential for success – depends on having the right screen media on the deck for each of the three phases.

Prepare your vibrating screens for a productive 2016

2016 has well and truly begun. Now is the time to ensure your vibrating screen is in top working order for the year to optimise your mineral processing operations. We all know the pace of the industry – there is no time for downtime – so working with an OEM screening specialist is crucial for ensuring equipment efficiency. Be sure to inspect every component regularly - from the feed box to the discharge lip. Trained screening specialists have a keen eye for spotting cracks and wear areas, as well as the knowledge to help get any machine ready for the rest of the year.

How to diagnose and minimise broken screens

Imagine you’re in the midst of peak production. Material output is at its prime and systems hum along smoothly. But then a section of wire cloth breaks.

The case for wet processing iron ore

Many iron ore producers are facing challenging times; processing crude material with rising levels of impurities and a volatile iron ore price.

Beneficiation, particularly washing (scrubbing), can be the key to upgrading the ore to earn more per shipped tonne.

High-end steel production at a low coke consumption level and a high productivity rate can only be achieved by using high-quality, lumpy iron ore.
