Screens

MeshcapeTM Woven Wire Square Harp

Screen Cloths are made with stainless
steel, Vibro OptimaxTM and other exotic
materials and are manufactured using
round wires. The wires are woven,
forming a wave pattern with transverse
wire clusters holding the wires together
to provide excellent open area for peak
performance.

Square Harp has excellent open area and

is ideal for applications where pegging
and blinding of apertures are an issue.

Poly Ripple - Square and TRIA

Construction

MeshcapeTM Poly Ripple

Screen Panel
Poly Ripple (Polyurethane Vibro
OptimaxTM) panels are screens with
non-woven wires bound together
by polyurethane bands to reduce, or
even eliminate blinding and pegging
of screen surfaces.
The polyurethane bands are located
above the bucker bars creating a
flat surface in which the wires can
move independently. The flat, more
active screen surface reduces
build-up and increases throughput,
virtually eliminating the need to
shut down for screen cleaning.
Ideal For Features and Benefits
• Sand and gravel • Reduces or eliminates blinding
industry and pegging
• Mineral processing • Light weight screens
• Polyurethane edge strips - no
sharp edges
• Easier and safer to handle
• Quickly installed
• Manufactured with tension hooks
• Field performance comparisons show
that on a wet day, Poly Ripple screens
will approach dry-day production of
conventional woven wire screens

Poly-Ripple is used in both civil

aggregate and mining screening
applications.

TIROTM Panels
TIRO® Panel One
FLSmidth® TIRO panels are an
extension of the Poly Ripple panel in
which smaller panels are snapped
onto the support frame of the
screen.

TIRO is a safe, highly efficient, non
pegging, non blinding modular wire
screening system. Only worn panels
need to be replaced, they are lighter
and easier to handle than traditional
woven wire screens.

Woven Wire Mesh

FLSmidth® woven wire mesh is a

woven textile made of metallic
material flexible enough to be
woven into a variety of shapes and
sizes.

The MeshcapeTM Bolted Pin System
(BPS) is a modular polyurethane
screening surface to meet present
and future demands of the
crushing industry.
They are available in rubber,
polyurethane, perforated plate,
wedge wire and wire screen
configurations.
Components
Grommet
A mushroom shaped bush that is
spigoted into the disc top frame and
“L” bolted into position securely
latches the panel to the frame
Bolted Pin System allowing high ‘G’ force operation of
the machine. The ‘bolted’ assembly
negates the need for over size pins or
sleeves that become necessary when
utilising the traditional
pin system.
Deflector caps
A dome shaped deflector cap is secured
into a groove in the panel to protect the
L bolt assembly and acts as a deflector.

Polyurethane Tension Mats

FLSmidth® offer a comprehensive

range of Polyurethane Tension Mats.
Polyurethane exhibits the elasticity
of rubber and provides significant
advantages for applications when
used as a screening surface.

The distinct advantage polyurethane

mats have over rubber is the
accuracy of the cast apertures and
resistance to sliding abrasion (longer
wearing). Polyurethane tension mats
Polyurethane Tension Mat allow for more precise screening
compared to the punched apertures
in rubber.

Screens Features and Benefits

• Quartz • Fully cast screen cloth available in both slotted and square apertures

Wedge Wire Sieve Bend Screens

FLSmidth® Wedge Wire Sieve
Bend Screens can be custom
made and designed for
applications in a wide range of
industries. Used to separate
solids from liquids, the curved

Wedge Wire Trommel Screen

FLSmidth® Wedge Wire Trommel

Screens are highly efficient
cylindrical rotating wedge wire
screens used to separate solids from

where the centrifuge rotating action
forces any particles smaller than the
slot size through the screen and any
particles larger than the slot size off
the end of the screen.
Trommel Screen
The wedge shape of the profile
wires help minimise pegging and
blinding. FLSmidth supplies
complete trommel units, including a
motor and base frame, or a

Continuous Slot Aperture Panels
the highest open area, fine aperture
modular screen panel in the world
today, combining the advantages of
the long wear life characteristics of
polyurethane with the high open
area pattern of profile wire.
Open area, or ratio of apertures to
total panel surface area, is of crucial
importance to screen users at a time
when plants are upgrading capacity
to increase profitability and
maximizing screen performance.
Open area for the continuous slot
pattern is about 40 to 50 percent
greater than standard polyurethane
modular panels of the same
aperture, which means greater
throughput through the same
screen or alternatively much better
quality of the screen products for
the same feed.
tolerance can lead to reduced recovery,
large losses of valuable screen product
and reduce plant profit.
Continuous slot panels have +/-10 μm
standard deviation over the specified
aperture size.
Field tested over a period of two years in
a number of coal screens, continuous
slot panels can be used in any fine
aperture (less than 0.06 in. / 1.5 mm)
screening application. Continuous Slot is
compatible with horizontal or banana
type screen decks and is ideally suited for
dewatering, de-sliming fine classification
and drain/rinse heavy media recovery
applications.
The Continuous Slot Aperture design is
compatible with the PIPOTM Two and
PIPOTM Three modular systems.

The FLSmidth engineering team
have built upon the advantages of
the innovative PIPO ‘push in, pull

reinforcement and the screening
surface, only the top section is
replaced while the structural
support remains in the machine to
be used again, reducing the cost of

Harp Screens

Harp Screens are used for difficult

materials, where blinding and pegging
make screening with square mesh
limiting. They screen sticky and damp
materials, where screening with a woven
mesh would not be possible.

Harp Screens will generally screen at

double the rate of the equivalent
aperture woven wire and can be fitted to
any end-tensioned vibrating screen,
without modification to the screen body.

Cross Harp Wire Screen

A Cross Harp Wire Screen (piano screen)
is made up of single strands of straight,
highly tensioned wire, connected at
either end of the screen with a sheet
metal hook. Spacer strips sit over the
top of capping rubbers to maintain
correct aperture. This produces a long,
Cross Wire Harp Screen uninterrupted slot between the capping
rubbers.
