Wedge Wire Screens for Mining and Mineral Processing

Mining and mineral processing operations need dewatering screens and separation solutions that hold up under constant abrasion, heavy particle loads, and corrosive slurries. Our screens are specified for iron ore, coal, copper, gold (including CIP/CIL carbon retention), sand, gravel, and mineral processing lines where uptime and slot accuracy directly affect recovery rates and product quality.

APPLICATIONS

Where Our Screens Work

Dewatering

Sieve bend, flat panel, and looped screens for removing water from mineral slurries.

Sizing and Classification

Flat screens on vibrating decks and sieve bends for accurate particle sizing.

Coal Separation

Sieve bend screens for gravity-based coal and reject separation.

Centrifuge Baskets

Basket screens for centrifugal separation of fine mineral fractions.

Sand and Gravel Processing

Flat and sieve bend screens for aggregate washing and classification.

Conveyor Screening

Flat and looped screens for inline screening on conveyor systems.

MATERIALS

Materials for Mining and Mineral Processing

SS 304General service in non-corrosive screening and structural parts.

SS 304LWelded wet screening assemblies, general slurry service.

SS 316LChloride or acidic process water.

Super DuplexHigh-chloride or seawater-contact, coastal mining.

S355Carbon steel for moderate-duty screening where corrosion is not a primary concern.

FAILURE MODES & MITIGATION

How Screens Fail — and How We Prevent It

Blinding (slot blockage)

V-wire profile widens downstream — backwash, vibration, and shaker cycles release trapped fines. Open area maintained over years of continuous slurry service.

Abrasion of V-wire surface

Heavier wire profile and reinforced support bar spacing for high-abrasion service. Slot tolerance maintained where standard 304L panels would round out.

Slot widening under load

Resistance-welded V-wire to support bars holds slot opening within ±0.01 mm. PMI verification and slot-gauge inspection on every batch.

Corrosion in acidic leach circuits

SS 316L baseline for chloride exposure; Super Duplex available for sulfide and aggressive acid leach streams.
