New Compass wire cloth is optimal for winter maintenance
Separation, sifting, and screening solutions manufacturer Compass Wire Cloth has highlighted its line of aggregate hardware and parts. The line is specifically designed to support the winter maintenance needs of aggregate processing equipment. The company can offer guidance on what is best for company needs, in line with winter maintenance protocols.
A range of replacement wear parts are available to ensure screening and processing equipment remains operational during the winter. Pieces can be tailored to OEM needs to ensure optimal performance. Screen bolts, tensioners, and fasteners are available in a variety of sizes and styles for a variety of steel grades.
Side camps rails come in standard A-36 steel for all makes and models, but thickness ranges from ¼” to 5/16”. Channel rubber is also available, stocking in sizes ¼”, 3/8”, ½”, and ¾”. They feature a flat top/open channel design to prevent premature screen wear.
A T-scale rubber design for durability and spray bar deflectors are also included in the line, in 1 ½” and 2” pipe sizes. Skirtboard rubber are designed to enhance equipment efficiency whilst classifier shoes are tailored to meet specific aggregate processing needs. Using high-quality components such as these can ensure operators keep equipment optimal and extend the machinery's lifespan.
Seasonal challenges are facing producers as winter comes, meaning they must prepare machinery for the time period. The downtime during this preparation provides a good opportunity to complete maintenance of vibrating screens and classifiers, reducing overall downtime.
Using preventative maintenance can help reduce future costs and downtime, as repairs will be less frequent. Regular inspections can reveal issues in equipment that otherwise may have gone unnoticed, such as broken wires or loose panels. Having a structured maintenance schedule can prevent this.
