New screen media attachment system from Metso
Hammerless attachment system makes screening media change-outs safer and faster
METSO have introduced a new hammerless attachment system for their Trellex screening media that offers safer installation, faster removal and maximized uptime for increased productivity.
Until now, the removal of worn-out pin and sleeve screening media modules has been a time-consuming and potentially unsafe undertaking. Metso say their innovative new attachment system improves worker safety during change-outs.
There is no need to use a hammer when installing and removing screening media. Specially developed pins can be screwed into place or removed using an impact driver. Accidents that occur when pins that are stuck get torn off by force can be avoided.
‘In the past year, we’ve launched the web-based Screen Planner wear-monitoring system and invested in screening media manufacturing capacity,’ said Claes Larsson, global product manager for Screening Media at Metso.
‘The introduction of the hammerless attachment system is yet another step we are taking to help our screening media customers minimize downtime and maximize productivity.’
The new attachment system is currently available as a standard option for Trellex 305PS screening media in the most common build heights (40–60mm), and will soon be introduced for additional build heights.
