AGGREGATE INDUSTRY

Hanson Aggregates

Hanson Aggregates’ Southern California facilities were experiencing significant downtime and maintenance issues due to blinding and excessive wear on their wire screen setup.

MINING INDUSTRY

Chevron Mining

Making the switch to Polydeck’s Maxi panels increased open area by 80% and increased throughput by 50%, while decreasing the amount of material being fed into the crushers at the same rate.

MINING INDUSTRY

Montana Resources

Montana Resources was experiencing unwanted results with their bolt-down rubber screen decks. The ultimate goal for their operation was to deliver a finer product to the grinding mill.

Blinding Case Studies

When fine particles stick to the surface of screen media, efficiency is affected and production goals are at risk. Polydeck solves these issues using innovative combinations of aperture designs and materials.

Greenwood Aggregates was experiencing wear life issues in the feed zone of their wash screen. Polydeck’s PIPETOP and Maxi panel upgrade increased throughput by 1.5X compared to the old side-tensioned media.

AGGREGATE INDUSTRY

Nugent Sand & Gravel Barge Unloading Hopper

A Kentucky sand and gravel producer eliminated frequent repairs and downtime by switching to Polydeck’s durable, customizable PROTEX RL liners, now used across their entire plant.

Throughput Case Studies

The percentage of surface area available for product to pass through a screen panel is directly correlated to the amount of product a plant can produce. Polydeck's screening, frame, and fastening systems increase open area, helping you achieve your production goals. Learn more about increasing throughput by downloading the case studies below.

MINING INDUSTRY

Barrick Golden Sunlight

Barrick Golden Sunlight was accustomed to their heavy gauge wire cloth on their secondary scalping screen producing minus 5-1/2” crushed gold ore. Upon further observation, the excessive travel rate and lack of bed depth were causing issues in their operation.

MINING INDUSTRY

Capstone Pinto Valley

Capstone Pinto Valley had throughput goals and turned to Polydeck’s expertise to achieve these goals. Pinto Valley is now positioned to run 60,000 tons per day compared to previous 48,0000 tons per day.
