Dolomite
FLEX-MAT Type S
Situation
Blinding issues were reported on Mogensen sizer screens during the processing of dolomite, causing heavy pegging on the side-tensioned 40mm top deck.
PROBLEM
Blinding and pegging on the side-tensioned 40mm top deck hindered screening operations, reducing throughput and compromising product quality.
SOLUTION
Flex-Mat screen media was installed to address these challenges, effectively eliminating blinding and reducing pegging.
BENEFITS
- Blinding Elimination: Ensured uninterrupted screening operations.
- Pegging Reduction: Improved screening efficiency.
- Increased Capacity: Capacity per deck increased from 123 to 170 t/h, a 38% increase.
- Consistent Wear Life: Maintained wear life at 220,000 tons despite using smaller wire size.
