Comprehensive Range of Polyurethane Screen Types
Modular Urethane Screen Panels
Featuring a modular snap-in or pin-and-sleeve design for extremely fast, localized replacement. Instead of replacing an entire screen deck, operators only need to swap out the specific worn-out modules, drastically lowering total lifetime ownership costs. Perfect for large-scale mining and aggregate processing plants.
PU Tension Screens
Reinforced internally with high-strength steel cables to handle high-tension operations. Engineered specifically as a direct retrofit for wire screen decks, these panels maintain stable tension over long periods and prevent sagging. Available in Shore A 55–90 hardness to match different material impact levels.
Flip Flow Screens (Relaxation/Trampoline Screens)
Specifically designed for high-viscosity, sticky, and extremely wet materials that would immediately blind standard screens. The alternating flexing motion creates a powerful trampoline effect, aggressively throwing and separating hard-to-screen materials. Hardness ranges from Shore A 65 to 85.
PU High-Frequency Fine Mesh
Engineered with a high open-area ratio (32% to 42%) and uniform fine apertures (down to 0.1 mm). Features a robust hook-edge system for easy installation on high-frequency vibrating screens. Ideal for fine mineral classification and wet dewatering processes.
PU-Framed Modular Panels
These panels feature a rigid, self-supporting frame molded directly within the premium polyurethane. This integrated design eliminates extra under-frame supports, reduces overall deck weight, and provides a highly efficient, self-cleaning, low-maintenance modular system.
V-Type Screen Panels
By utilizing an advanced angled surface design, V-Type panels increase your effective screening and dewatering area by 50% compared to conventional flat modular panels. This layout speeds up material movement, improves dewatering efficiency, and prevents pooling on the deck.
Why Choose Our Urethane Screen Panels?
1. Conical Perforations for Low Obstruction
Unlike standard straight-cut openings, our polyurethane screen panels feature precisely molded conical perforations. This tapered design allows near-size particles to pass through smoothly, significantly reducing blinding, pegging, and material buildup for continuous, high-capacity screening.
2. 5x to 15x Longer Wear Life than Wire Mesh
Our solid PU panels absorb high-impact energy and resist abrasive wear, lasting up to 15 times longer than traditional woven wire cloth in extreme applications. This minimizes your equipment maintenance costs and slashes expensive machinery downtime.
3. Direct Metal Screen Retrofit
With our PU tension screens, you get a direct plug-and-play replacement for wire mesh. There are absolutely no machine or deck adjustments required, allowing you to upgrade to the benefits of polyurethane screen panels instantly.
4. Outstanding Noise Control
Polyurethane acts as an excellent dampening material. Upgrading to our urethane screen panels reduces operational noise by up to 50% (measured in decibels) compared to steel screen media, creating a safer and more compliant working environment.
Industrial Applications
- Aggregates & Quarrying: High-abrasion screening of crushed stone, gravel, sand, and asphalt materials.
- Mining & Mineral Processing: Wet and dry classification of iron ore, copper, gold, coal, and industrial minerals.
- Dewatering & Desliming: Efficient water-solid separation in fine aggregate washing and coal preparation.
- Recycling & Waste Management: Processing sticky, damp, or composted municipal and industrial waste.
Quality Assurance & Global Logistics
At ABX Metal, quality is our cornerstone. We test every production batch in our ISO 9001-certified facility to guarantee strict adherence to Shore hardness, tensile strength, and precise aperture sizing (tested per ASTM D5963 standards).
To ensure safe global transit, all urethane panels are securely packed on export-grade wooden pallets or crates with protective spacers. Our standard lead time is 12–20 working days, backed by comprehensive support for international customs, sea freight, and bulk logistics.
Q1: How do I select the correct hardness for my urethane panels?
It depends entirely on your feed size and drop height. Softer compounds (Shore A 55–65) offer maximum impact absorption and are ideal for coarse, heavy primary screening. Medium hardness (Shore A 70–80) is the standard for general aggregate screening. Harder compounds (Shore A 85–90) are optimal for maintaining accurate apertures in fine screening applications.
Q2: Can I use PU tension screens on my existing wire mesh deck?
Yes, absolutely. Our PU tension screens are designed to be direct, 1-to-1 replacements for standard woven wire screens. They utilize standard side-tensioning hooks, meaning you do not have to modify your existing crowned deck structure.
Q3: What makes your V-type screens more efficient than flat screens?
The V-type design creates an angled, three-dimensional screening surface. This geometry increases the physical open screening area by up to 50% within the same footprint, leading to significantly faster drainage and higher throughput capacity.
Q4: Do you support OEM custom fabrication?
Yes. As a dedicated manufacturer, we regularly produce custom urethane screen panels tailored to fit equipment from major international vibrating screen brands. Simply provide us with your technical drawings, dimensions, or a physical sample, and our engineering team will handle the rest.
