Downtime is costly for screens in minerals processing and aggregates production. Metso Outotec’s hammerless attachment system for screening media provides safer installation, faster removal and maximised uptime.
Metso Outotec has introduced a unique attachment system for its Trellex screening media that offers increased productivity and makes media change-outs safer and faster than with traditional systems.
The removal of worn-out pin and sleeve screening media modules has been a time-consuming and potentially unsafe undertaking. Metso Outotec’s innovative new attachment system improves worker safety during change-outs. There is no need to use a hammer when installing and removing screening media. The specially developed pins can be screwed into place as well as removed using an impact driver. Accidents that occur when pins that are stuck get torn off by force can be avoided. In addition to improved safety, the new attachment system cuts the change-out time considerably, resulting in higher uptime and productivity.
