Tyler's Pro-Deck System is said to take a new approach to screening by implementing an analysis and modification strategy in processing operations to maximize screen produc- tivity and minimize wear by selecting the appropriate type of screen media according to the three phases of screening — layered, basic, and sharp. The company says this approach results in a fully optimized screening process for greater efficiency and productivity, as well as extended screen life. Pro-Deck implements a customized approach and evaluates material characteristics, the current functioning of the plant, and final output qualities to determine the best mix of screen media for each individual operation. The system is said to help elimi- nate blinding, pegging, premature wear, and unscheduled downtime as well. W.S. Tyler; wstyler.ca. Text INFO to 205-289-3782 or visit aggman.com/info.
