Major will debut the OptimumWire Thermo Screen at ConExpo-Con/Agg, showcasing its development in Central Hall (Booth C32269) of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Major engineered the Thermo Screen for extreme heat environments. The company says it delivers reliable performance in applications such as asphalt recycling, hot clinker, and quicklime screening and mineral processing.
Major says the screen features an advanced design that withstands temperatures exceeding 2,192 degrees, helping operations maintain uptime and reduce maintenance.
“Customers have relied on us for custom solutions to blinding and pegging problems for years,” says Bernard Betts, president of Major. “The Thermo Screen extends that expertise to high-heat applications so operations can work with one trusted screen media provider across their entire site.”
According to Major, the Thermo Screen eliminates heat-related blinding, pegging and clogging and creates a self-cleaning action. An asphalt production plant reported up to 35 percent higher throughput and 40 percent lower maintenance costs after replacing traditional screens with Thermo Screens on all decks, Major says. The upgrade also improved screen media durability.
