Buffalo's competitor sold the customer a stock screen solution for what should have been a custom application. As a result, the customer sacrificed production output and screen longevity, which incurred increased maintenance costs.
As seen in the picture, the screens provided by a competing supplier only have four urethane strips and should have five to align with the screener support bars. Mismatching support bars resulted in inefficient production, increased downtime, less screen life, and unnecessary additional costs for the customer.
The Buffalo field team measured the support bar locations to align five poly strips on five support bars to establish peak performance. By doing so, the vibration and frequency of the screener are transmitted to the screen wires for optimal screening efficiency.
Aligning the support bars also prevents premature wear on the screen panel and support bars. Buffalo TechSquad™ also recommended new channel rubber when performing a new installation for ideal crowning, screen protection, and proper tensioning, using urethane crown bar protectors to extend wear life.
Buffalo TechSquad™ provided customized solutions and products that optimized the customer’s application’s fit, form, and function for the screener. As a result of the increased open area and screen life, the customer reduced its total cost of ownership and increased profitability.
