Product Feature
Features
Metso’s UltraFine Screen utilizes a modular design with up to 10 individual screen decks nested together into a single vibrating assembly. Accurate feed distribution across the 10 decks is critical, so the unit also incorperates a patent pending feed splitter box to ensure the feed is evenly distributed across the complete width of each screen deck.
Benefits
This machine arrangement delivers double the screening area relative to other fine screen technologies in a much more compact overall assembly. The smaller footprint contributes reduced building and infrastructure cost and in total greatly reduces the capital cost to implement this technology.
UltraFine screening allows for direct classification by size via the physical dimensions of the screening media aperture which is more efficient than Hydrocyclones that classify material based on mass. Additionally, screening performance is less influenced by plant operational variability and require smaller pumps. These contribute to lower operating cost due to energy efficiency and improved recovery.
