ENERGY
FLEX-MAT is widely used across the energy industry for the screening, sizing and classification of coal, anthracite, coke, biomass and petroleum coke. Major delivers high-vibration wire screen solutions that maintain consistent performance in the demanding conditions of energy production and processing — where blinding, pegging and clogging can cause costly downtime and reduced output quality.
How FLEX-MAT Wire Screen Media Performs in Energy Applications
In the energy industry, screening media must handle materials that are often abrasive, dusty, wet or sticky — conditions that cause rapid blinding and pegging on traditional wire screens. FLEX-MAT independent wire vibration technology keeps screen openings clear by vibrating each wire at its own frequency, preventing material buildup and maintaining consistent material flow even in the toughest energy processing environments.
Key performance benefits for energy industry operators include:
- Compatible with all major vibrating screen brands and frame types
- Up to 3× longer screen media service life versus traditional woven wire
- Elimination of blinding and pegging on coal, coke and biomass materials
- Consistent particle sizing accuracy for cleaner, higher-quality product output
- Reduced maintenance downtime and lower screen replacement frequency
Screening Applications in the Energy Industry
- Coal (thermal and coking grades)
- Anthracite
- Coke and petroleum
- coke (petcoke)
- Biomass (wood chips, pellets, agricultural residues)
- Oil sands processing
- Lignite and brown coal
- Slag and ash management
- Solid recovered fuel (SRF)
