Maximum efficiency and reduced downtime

Weir Minerals Europe has launched a complete range of high quality screen media suitable for use in every type of mining and aggregate operation.

The FusionCast® range includes metal, polyurethane and rubber screen media, perforated metal screen media and electro welded mesh, as well as solutions for use in dewatering systems. The products are fabricated from the highest quality materials using state-of-the-art manufacturing processes to deliver long life, minimal downtime and low cost-per-tonne performance.

Each panel is custom built to our customers’ exact specifications, using advanced production machinery to ensure accurate openings and tight weaves.

Woven wire cloth is used by many mining and aggregates operators; however, it can be prone to high wear and require frequent change-outs. As a result, engineered screen media made from materials such as polyurethane and rubber may deliver superior results in terms of efficiency, versatility, unscheduled downtime and longevity.

Reliable and durable, rubber and polyurethane FusionCast® screen media deliver the precision of many injection-moulded products but with a long lifetime.

FusionCast® polyurethane screen media performs equally well in both dry and humid conditions while its strength and elasticity make it ideal for screening highly abrasive materials. Available in various strengths and formats, according to the application, it offers a long lifetime and minimum maintenance costs, in addition to being easy to install.

FusionCast® metal screen media is manufactured in a wide variety of geometries, with square or slotted meshes, and weaving styles, such as double crimped. All metal meshes have very precise screening capabilities and are manufactured from the highest quality steel alloy to withstand high abrasion, tension and impact.

These factors, combined with Weir Minerals’ expertise, deliver the appropriate tension, avoiding vibration that can cause the mesh to break.

Included in the FusionCast® range are abrasion-resistant rubber lining, declogging rods, conveyor belt scrapers and other accessories.

Scott Campbell, Regional Product Manager for FusionCast®, said: “The type of material processed, along with size, weight and abrasiveness, will all affect an operator’s choice of screen media. To help with this, our experienced team can assess a customer’s field issues in order to provide the ideal product for each individual application.”
