Maximise material recovery, reduce maintenance outages and increase profitability with our range of polyurethane, metallic and rubber screen and trommel media. Designed to meet the specific needs of your application, with a choice of apertures shapes and sizes, and engineered for maximum life and efficiency.
We know frequent shutdowns take their toll on your bottom line. That's why we work with you to understand the specific demands of your application and design a solution that will withstand the pressures of your operation to maximise uptime. Our materials and process experts will take into account your processing stage, ore, and production goals and match them to the optimum screening media, aperture design and fastening type.
Between our manufacturing facilities and service centres, you’re never too far from a restock of your screening media. We manufacture polyurethane screens on five continents, metallic screen media on four continents and rubber screens on three continents so that you can be assured of simple, timely delivery.
Our geographic spread is supported by regional service teams who are on hand for troubleshooting, maintenance and installation assistance. We can also provide monitoring services to track the health of your screen and determine optimum maintenance periods to maximise performance and uptime.
To maximise screening performance and avoid pegging and blinding, the aperture design must match the production goals. Our portfolio of patented designs includes LUDODECK® XIF™ Apertures, which provide up to 30% more open area than other screen designs – the most advanced and efficient polyurethane screens in the world today for small particle (2 mm and under) wet applications.
Fastening systems are also an important element of screen design. Our clip-on fastenings ensure a secure attachment and are easy to install, helping to reduce downtime for screen change-outs.
Different screen media materials suit different applications. This is where our process and materials expertise comes into its own. Based on decades of experience, and drawing on the resources at our state-of-the-art laboratory, we can recommend the best material for your application, choosing from standard polyurethane screen panels, our proprietary polyurethane blend, synthetic or natural rubber, carbon steel or stainless steel.
As a full-service solutions provider, we don’t just sell you a screen and leave you to it. We’re available to you throughout the lifecycle of your screen. Whether you choose clip-on, bolted, pinned or cross-tensioned fastening, our screening media is designed for simple installation, helping reduce downtime. But if you want the security of expert installation, we will happily come to site and install the screen. We’re also available for onsite and remote troubleshooting, advice and maintenance planning.
Screening efficiency – whether for vibrating screens, static screens, Trommels or interstage screens – will reduce as the screen media reaches the end of its life, so anticipating wear life is critical. FLS offers a suite of asset health services to monitor and analyse equipment performance. In screens, this enables us to identify the earliest signs of wear before they would be revealed through a visual inspection, so you can plan a change-out in good time and long before the screen fails.
Screening media that lasts longer and performs more efficiently enables you to do more with less – the key to sustainable productivity. Our polyurethane screens, rubber screens and metallic screens are all engineered for optimal screening efficiency and proven to provide longer life in a range of minerals processing applications. Longer life means less waste, as well as improved safety outcomes thanks to extended inspection and changeout intervals.
