Enhanced Durability for Screen Decks
Screen decks face significant wear due to abrasive materials, leading to frequent replacements. Our specialized wear plates provide the necessary durability to extend service life and reduce downtime.
The wear problem
The primary wear mechanism in screen decks is sliding abrasion caused by the constant movement of materials. This wear often leads to premature failure of the screen surface, resulting in costly maintenance and lost production time.
Recommended plate by component
| Component | Grade | Thickness | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Screen Deck Surface | Stanhard 450 (450 HBW) | 10-30 | Offers excellent resistance to sliding abrasion and extends service life. |
| Screen Deck Support | Stanhard 500 (500 HBW) | 15-35 | Increases durability under high impact and heavy load conditions. |
| Separation Panels | Stanhard 525 (525 HBW) | 12-25 | Enhances wear resistance and reduces replacement frequency. |
| Screen Mounting Plates | Stanhard 570 (570 HBW) | 8-20 | Withstands high shear forces and provides structural integrity. |
| Vibrating Screen Liners | Stanhard 650 (650 MPa min) | 5-15 | Maximizes impact protection and prolongs service life in dynamic environments. |

Factor in maintenance schedule
Select a grade that aligns with your maintenance and uptime goals.
Questions engineers ask
What is the best grade for high abrasion?
Stanhard 525 (525 HBW) is recommended for high-abrasion environments, as it offers superior wear resistance.
How does thickness impact performance?
Thicker plates generally provide better impact resistance, but may weight more, affecting the overall system design.
Can I use ballistic plates for screen decks?
Ballistic plates are designed for different applications; it’s best to choose abrasion-resistant plates for screen decks.
What maintenance is required for wear plates?
Regular inspections are necessary to monitor wear and replace plates when thresholds are met to prevent operational failures.
