Major Wire Industries Ltd. now offers a full line of 1-ft x 2-ft (305 mm to 610 mm) Flex-Mat 3 Self-Cleaning Modular screen media panels. This new screen media size fits virtually any flat-surface screen deck, so screening operations using traditional 1-ft x 1-ft (305 mm x 305 mm) and 1-ft x 2-ft polyurethane and rubber panels can increase their existing screening capacity and in-spec material throughput up to 50%. Screening operations can choose between pin-, grooved-, snap- and step-types in opening sizes of 30 mesh, or 0.020 inches, up to 1-1/2 inches (30 mesh, or 0.5 mm, to 38 mm). Flex-Mat 3 Modular 1-ft x 1-ft panels were introduced earlier in 2007. Both Flex-Mat 3 Modular’s 1-ft x 1-ft and 1-ft x 2-ft panels provide as much as 50% more screen open area than traditional rigid polyurethane and rubber panels. In addition, each new 1-ft x 2-ft Flex-Mat 3 Modular panel increases total screen media open area by 4.6% when compared to using two 1-ft x 1-ft panels to cover the same screen deck area. No screen box changes are necessary to switch to the larger panels. www.majorwire.cc
