Key benefits of trommel and screening media

  • Bespoke design secures increased uptime

    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.

  • Global service network ensures timely supply

    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.

  • Technical support prevents unexpected outages

    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.

Choosing the right screen design

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.

Efficiency is the key to sustainability

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.

Frequently asked questions

FAQs for trommel and screening media

A Trommel screen enables material to be sorted by size. Apertures in the screening media enable right-sized material to pass through and continue downstream through the process.

In mining applications, the most common type of screen media are polyurethane panel screens, with around two thirds of the market. Rubber and metallic screening media are still widely used, but depends heavily on operating conditions.

Rubber is known for its excellent wear resistance and noise reduction, rubber screens are ideal for high-impact applications but may not be as durable in highly abrasive environments.

Metallic screens offer high strength and durability. Metallic screens are suitable for heavy-duty applications and high-temperature conditions, though they can be noisy and prone to corrosion.

Polyurethane combines flexibility and durability, which provides good wear resistance and are effective in both wet and dry conditions, but they can be more expensive than other options.
