TOP COARSE & PEA GRAVEL
FLEX-MAT
Situation
Gravel producer struggling to maintain productivity, while bearing the cost of frequent screen changeouts.
PROBLEM
Frequent screen media changeouts and high carryover of sticky material.
- Screen media needed to be replaced every two months or every 100,000 tons.
- Seasonal factors caused blinding of sticky material on the woven wire screens.
- Re-screening was often necessary, greatly reducing efficiency and increasing costs.
SOLUTION
Changed to FLEX-MAT High Vibration wire screens.
- Screens last up to 17 months longer and handle over 800,000 more tons before changeout.
- Less carryover thanks to virtually eliminating blinding issues.
BENEFITS
- Will save as much as $4,200 every year with FLEX-MAT’s longer wear life.
- Additional time and cost savings due to eliminating the need to re-process material.
