The customer was using standard woven wire screens in CV8. The customer was frustrated with the downtime from multiple screen changes and also wanted to prevent product contamination due to catastrophic failure and breakage of the standard woven wire screens.
The customer met with the Buffalo TechSquad™ to determine the best products and materials for this application given numerous factors, including the impact on the screen, the shape and abrasiveness of the material rock, the tons per hour run, the humidity, and other local environmental factors.
After a complete analysis and comparison to past installations, the Buffalo TechSquad™ recommended implementation of hooked rubber screens with a steel backing.
The customer achieved all their objectives by using Buffalo's high-quality rubber screens. Buffalo's solution improved worker safety by reducing noise during operation.
The hooked rubber screens also substantially reduced unscheduled downtime, as they require fewer screen changes and have little to no maintenance costs. The reduction in downtime resulted in more production hours and operating time, thus leading to greater revenue and lower costs for the customer.
“In Buffalo, we found a strategic ally to optimize our operation with innovative products.” – Customer
