Breakthrough in Wet Material Screening: High-Elasticity Rubber Panels Transform Brazilian Aggregate Production

A Case Study on Overcoming Tropical Climate Challenges with 18% Productivity Gain

1. The Operational Challenge‌
A Minas Gerais-based aggregate producer faced critical screening inefficiencies:

Persistent Clogging:‌ 40% blockage rates with traditional screens
Climate Impact:‌ 1,800mm annual rainfall causing 18-22% material moisture
Financial Losses:‌ $12,000/month in downtime and manual cleaning

2. Innovative Solution‌
Custom-engineered 40 Shore A rubber screen panels delivered:

Self-Cleaning Mechanism:‌ Elastic recovery during vibration
Durability:‌ Wear-resistant formulation for granite processing
Optimized Design:‌ Trapezoidal apertures minimizing material retention

3. Documented Results‌

Metric    Before    After    Improvement
Blockage Rate    40%    <1%    98% reduction
Daily Output    850T    1,000T    +18%
Cleaning Time    3-4h/day    0    100% elimination
3-Month Savings    -    $36,000    Significant ROI

4. Technical Advantages‌
