December 23, 2013, Candiac, Que. – Major Wire Industries
Limited has released its new Crown Bar Adaptors for modular decks which allows
producers to convert their flat screen decks to a crowned deck on both pin- and
grooved-type screen decks. This technology will allow producers to choose the
best screen media for the job without being limited by the screen deck.

Major Wire developed their line of Crown Bar Adaptors to
fill an expressed need for producers with flat screen decks that were limited
to only using modular type screen media but wanted to use Major Wire’s
Flex-Mat® 3 Tensioned High-Performance Screen Media. Producers can expect to
increase open area up to 100 percent or more by converting modular decks to a
crowned tensioned deck of Flex-Mat 3.

Flex-Mat 3 panels have more open area, providing up to 50
percent more screen capacity than polyurethane and rubber panels. It employs
independently vibrating wires that increase product throughput by up to 40
percent over polyurethane and rubber panels by increasing open area and
eliminating blinding, pegging and clogging. Flex-Mat 3 provides benefits on
every screen box deck: eliminating near-size pegging on top decks, producing
cleaner retained product through the middle decks and preventing fine material
blinding on bottom decks.
