Metso Introduces Recyclable Modular Screening Media

The equipment company Metso has developed what it says is the first fully recyclable modular screening media, called the Metso Trellex LS-Eco.
 

The company has taken its Metso Trellex LS rubber modular screening media systems and replaced the traditional steel reinforcement with a composite material, making it possible to recycle the screening media.
 

In the past, screening media modules that were no longer suitable for production were treated as waste and could not be recycled. Metso says it has introduced a new future for the product and a sustainable solution.

In addition to providing environmentally friendly screening media panels, Metso says it will implement a program to provide its customers with a suitable range of recycling services.
 

The Metso Trellex LS-Eco offers a wide range of health, safety and environmental benefits. Each screening media panel is up to 40 percent lighter than standard steel reinforced Trellex LS panels. This makes handling easier and the working environment safer. Lighter panels also help to reduce the overall stress on the entire screening installation.
 

Compared to steel-reinforced panels, the composite-reinforced panels of the Metso Trellex LS-Eco are more flexible and will reduce the effects of pegging and blinding during screening operations. The Metso Trellex LS-Eco promises reduced downtime and increased productivity.
 

The Trellex 300LS and Trellex 305LS rubber and polyurethane panels can be attached to most screening media systems and can handle all types of screening applications—fine and coarse, wet and dry. More information is available at www.metso.com.
