BREAK YOUR BOTTLENECK
Whether sizing dry and dusty or wet and sticky material, this
assortment of screen media offers options to help boost production.
Bolt-down screen sections
Armadex, Polydeck's new bolt-down rubber screening solution, is designed for tough
scalping applications. Its proprietary Binary Injection Molding (BIM) manufacturing
process, along with a blend of gum rubbers and high-strength steel plate backing,
produces both strength and uniformity. Armadex screen sections can be bolted to an
existing deck frame or can be installed with Polydeck's PipeTop II frame. Armadex is
available in screen sections up to 48 inches by 96 inches and up to 4 inches thick.
The BIM process allows customization options not available in traditional bolt-down
screen media.

Expanded screen cloth sizes
Major Wire Industries Ltd. expands its line of Flex-Mat 3 Self Cleaning Modular screen media
panels to include 1- by 2-foot panels. According to the manufacturer, the screen media size fits
virtually any flat-surface screen deck, allowing operations using traditional 1- by 1-foot panels to
increase their screen capacity and in-spec material throughput by up to 50 percent. Operations
can choose between pin-, grooved-, snap-, and step-type openings in sizes of 30 mesh up to
1.575 inches.

Customizable decks
Pro-Deck is W.S. Tyler's consultative approach to professionally blending multiple types of
screen media on a single deck and fine-tuning vibrating screens. It is said to maximize classification efficiency while minimizing downtime and maintenance costs. By implementing a
blended solution and applying the most effective screen media to each phase of the screening
process, aggregate producers will achieve the optimal combination of open area and durability. To achieve this goal, a trained professional follows five steps: vibration analysis, machine
inspection, screen media audit, screen media recommendation, and screen media implementation. The results are said to be better product quality and higher profits.
