MAJOR announced the OPTIMUMWIRE® Thermo Screen at CONEXPO/CON-AGG 2026. Engineered for extreme heat environments, the Thermo Screen delivers reliable performance in demanding applications such as asphalt recycling, hot clinker and quicklime screening and mineral processing. Its advanced design withstands temperatures over 2,192 degrees Fahrenheit (1,200 degrees Celsius), helping operations maintain uptime and reduce costly maintenance.
Thermo Screen eliminates heat-related blinding, pegging and clogging and creates a self-cleaning action. An asphalt production plant reported up to 35% higher throughput and 40% lower maintenance costs after replacing traditional screens with Thermo Screens on all decks. The upgrade also improved screen media durability.
Traditionally, MAJOR uses polyurethane to connect wires in its tensioned and modular screen media. However, in high-heat environments, polyurethane can melt, reducing performance. To overcome this challenge, MAJOR developed a screen media option that connects using its proprietary OPTIMUMWIRE. MAJOR produces OPTIMUMWIRE in-house and never alters its composition, ensuring consistent quality and reliable performance for customers over time. The upgraded design provides consistent performance regardless of weather or material challenges.
