LONGER LIFE
A castable grade polyurethane is used instead of injection moulded polyurethane which proved to give up to 3 times the life of injected material where the apperture remains on size for an extended period.
-
LARGER OPEN AREA
Because of the better abrasive properties of the material being used, the ribs between the apertures and the boundaries of the panels are reduced to create more apertures.
-
RE-USABLE T-BAR
With deflectors or rider bars cast onto the T-Bar, it deflects the ore onto the open area to give the T-Bar a longer life than the panel. When the T-Bar is used with a second panel a saving of 10% can be achieved if a panel without a T-Bar is purchased.
-
COMPATIBILITY TO EXISTING SUB-FRAMES
The MET panels fit the existing sub-frames of which some have 8 inch hole centres and other 150mm centres. Most panels are either 305 x 305mm or 300 x 300mm respectively or different.
-
EASE OF INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
The installation is easy and to remove a panel the pins are knocked through, the T-Bar lifted out and the panel removed. With water in the underpan a floating dowel can be recovered or even if it is sucked through a pump, no damage can be done.

-
DIFFERENT T-BARS CAN BE USED
WITH SAME PANEL
Standard T-Bar with deflectors can be used
-
with the direction of flow (to improve the screening efficiency) or
-
across the flow (to mix the layers of ore on the deck)
-
Rider T-Bar with the direction of flow to carry the large particles to save the panel and to allow the smaller particles to reach the apertures for screening. (heavy duty)
-
Retarder T-Bar across the flow to slow the flow down to prevent water from carrying over.
-
Divider T-Bar with the direction of flow to divide the deck into more than one stream.
-
REINFORCED PANELS
Adequate steel reinforcing is cast into the panels to ensure a flat panel throughout its life.
-
ONGOING DEVELOPMENT
Developing and testing of new ideas are ongoing, such as the use of alumina ceramics, rubber, etc.
-
WIDE RANGE OF CASTABLE
MATERIALS AVAILABLE
Depending on the application and duty, different materials can be used to cast the panels, such as esters or ethers, MDI or TDI systems.
-
CHEAPER AND QUICKER MOULD MAKING (than injection moulding)
Special moulds for relatively small runs can be made but the range of moulds are continuously being increased.
