A complete range of newly-designed continuous slot polyurethane (PU) panels with improved efficiency, drainage, and durability is available from Aury Africa.
According to the company, these panels are ideal for all applications where wedge wire and poly wedge panels were used historically for desliming, dewatering, and drain/rinse screens, as well as static decks.
The 305 mm by 305 mm continuous slot PU panels are suitable for vibrating screens. Easy to install, they offer increased wear life for enhanced productivity. Various aperture sizes are available for specific requirements, Aury Africa Managing Director Sydney Parkhouse highlights, from 0.50 mm to 0.63 mm, 0.80 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm, and 3 mm.
While Aury Africa is targeting the coal-mining industry in the Mpumalanga coalfields at present, where current customers include Phola CHPP, Anglo American, Msobo Coal, and Canyon Coal, it is also looking at the chrome and platinum sectors for diversified growth. One mining operation in particular is looking at a potential order of 600 panels a month.
“Our first priority is to get the panels introduced into the mining industry, and then to gauge the overall interest and demand, so we can tweak our manufacturing capability and stockholding accordingly,” Parkhouse said.
The introduction of the continuous slot PU panels forms part of Aury Africa’s long-term strategy to meet the requirement of the continent’s mining industry for high-quality screening and vibrating equipment solutions, supported by rapid turnaround around times and expert technical back-up.
