Art and science in composite deck screening
The vital function of mineral screening has become so advanced that it is as much an art as it is a science, according to screening media specialist Multotec.
“Our composite deck systems have taken screening technology to another level,” says Multotec Manufacturing product manager screening, Shawn Faba. “By applying the science of stratification, we ensure we can design a screen that produces the size and specification of output required by the customer; we then also engage in ‘the art of screening’ by meticulously fine-tuning the process through monitoring and iteration that leverages our market-leading Hawkeye technology.”
While the concept of composite decks, which comprise panels of various materials, apertures and configurations, is not new, Multotec has, for over a decade, developed the added value that this approach can bring to a customer’s bottom line.
“We differentiate ourselves by the in-depth way we use our Deck Map methodology to design and optimise solutions, based on the characteristics of the material being treated,” says Faba. “This also allows us to adapt our solution to the dynamic nature of ore bodies, which lead to constant changes in the material to be treated, even in the same ore bodies.
