Components Flex-Mat

Overview

FLEX-MAT vibrating wire screens will provide more spec product at a lower operating cost, while delivering more wear life and eliminating blinding, pegging and clogging issues.

Vibration is the essential action needed when screening material. It allows coarse material to rise to the top and fine material to fall to the bottom.

When using static screening media (woven cloth, polyurethane or rubber panels, etc.), the only vibration is induced by the screen box which typically vibrates with a range of 500-1,000 strokes per minute. FLEX-MAT high-vibration wire screens have individual wires that vibrate independently at a high-frequency of between 6,000-10,000 strokes per minutes.

FLEX-MAT accelerates the stratification process and allows more material to pass through the screen.

Tensioned Screens BROCHURE

FLEX-MAT screen technology allows wires, bonded to lime-green polyurethane strips, to vibrate independently from hook to hook for faster material stratification. FLEX-MAT high-vibration wire screens are available in a side-tensioned or end-tensioned configuration.

D Series

Standard pattern
Square opening
Equivalent to square woven
Precise sizing

DD Series

For high-impact and heavy-material applications as it absorbs impact better than the other applications
Eliminates the “popcorn” effect caused by larger, single wires

S Series

Used with round or cubical-shaped material, or when precise passing is not required, FLEX-MAT S allows you to:

Maximize open area
Eliminate blinding
Reduce fines

T Series

Ideal for openings under 0.059″ or 1.5 mm
Replaces fine mesh to better reduce binding

L Series

Maximum open area for desanding and removing fines
Lasts longer than traditional harp/piano wire, while keeping material in spec
Ideal for compost and topsoil

Side Seals

Optional on all end-tensioned FLEX-MAT panels to prevent oversized material from passing between the screen cloth and screen box sides.

Overlaps

Highly recommended and offered as standard on tensioned Series D, T and S with openings of 3/8″ or 9.5 mm or less.

Crown Deck

Crown adapters are necessary in order to achieve the optimal crowned deck for your screen if the screen box was initially fitted with panels. The adapters can be installed on the flat decks that were originally designed to use modular synthetic screens or punch plates.

Woven Screens BROCHURE

Woven Screens are manufactured with an industry-leading stringent wire opening of ±3% and extremely tight crimps and weave for a longer wear life and the elimination of premature failure. Made with either their OPTIMUMWIRE technology or stainless steel wire, these woven screens outlast those of the competition.

SQUARE

For general applications
Provides precise passing

DOUBLE-WEAVE

Square type for heavier applications (withstands up to 4 times more impact force than heavier single-strand woven screens)
Provides precise passing
Ideal for scalping and top deck applications (provides up to 50% more throughput than perforated punch plates at a lower cost)

SLOTTED

Single or triple shute
Removes fines
Provides more open area than square openings
Use with round or cubical-shaped material or when precise passing is not required
