In industrial production, the choice of screen material directly impacts screening efficiency, product quality, and equipment longevity. This article provides a detailed analysis of how to select the optimal screen material based on material characteristics (e.g., particle size, humidity, chemical properties), screening requirements (precision and efficiency), and working conditions (temperature, vibration frequency). By comparing the pros and cons of stainless steel, polyurethane, nylon, and other materials—alongside cost and lifespan considerations—this guide helps businesses make informed decisions. Whether in mining, food processing, or chemical industries, you’ll find actionable insights to achieve efficient and cost-effective screening processes.

Polyurethane screens, as an innovative technology in sand and gravel screening, are gradually replacing traditional metal screens. This article analyzes the shortcomings of metal screens in wear resistance, anti-clogging, and grading accuracy, while highlighting the core advantages of polyurethane screens: steel wire rope skeletons and high-elasticity polyurethane materials provide 8-10 times higher wear resistance than metal screens, anti-clogging designs improve wet sand screening efficiency by 35%, and precise aperture control ensures uniform particle size. A case study from a Turkish mine demonstrates how polyurethane screens achieve 97.5% screening accuracy, reduce annual maintenance time by 500 hours, and cut energy consumption by 35%. This article offers the construction industry an efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective long-term screening solution.

Polyurethane screens are prone to cracks and damage due to long-term ground stress exposure. Proper installation and maintenance are crucial for optimal performance. This guide covers key installation steps, including tension control, tape fixation, screen sizing, frame design, and tightening techniques, helping users avoid reinstallation issues and extend screen lifespan.

Polyurethane dewatering screen panel is an efficient and wear-resistant solution designed specifically for wet screening environments in mines, especially suitable for scenarios such as tailings dry discharge, concentrate dewatering, and coal slurry dewatering. Compared with traditional metal mesh screens, polyurethane mesh screens have significant advantages: extended lifespan of 12-24 months (metal mesh screens only 3-6 months), low blockage rate of ≤ 5% (elastic self-cleaning structure), acid and alkali resistance (pH 2-14 stable), 30% lighter weight, significantly reducing equipment load and operating costs.

In high-frequency screening applications for fine minerals like silica sand and metal concentrates, traditional stainless steel screens struggle with blinding, short lifespan, and corrosion. Polyurethane (PU) fine screen panels have emerged as a superior alternative, offering dynamic self-cleaning apertures, 3–4x longer service life, and resistance to abrasion and chemicals.

This article highlights five key advantages of PU screens:

Anti-blinding design ensures uninterrupted operation for sticky or damp materials.

Exceptional wear resistance reduces replacement costs in abrasive environments.

Chemical and corrosion resistance enhances durability in harsh conditions.

Precision screening maintains tight tolerances for ultrafine particles.

30–40% lower total cost of ownership through extended lifespan and reduced downtime.



A case study of a European silica sand processing plant demonstrates a 50% increase in screen life, 20% higher throughput, and 35% lower maintenance costs after switching to PU screens. Ideal for industries like glass manufacturing and mineral processing, PU technology delivers efficiency, sustainability, and long-term savings.

This article provides a detailed introduction to the successful case of a large mining group (PMS) in the UK using Derrick TH48-30 provided by our company instead of polyurethane high-frequency screen panel (0.5mm pore size) in its lead-zinc ore beneficiation plant. By replacing the original metal sieve plate, the customer achieved significant benefits such as a 23% increase in screening efficiency, an 18% increase in processing capacity, and an extension of sieve plate lifespan to 8-10 months. The article comprehensively demonstrates the outstanding performance of polyurethane screen panel in high-frequency vibration and corrosive environments from the aspects of project background, product core advantages (ultra-thin precision grading, extreme working condition resistance, rapid replacement design), on-site verification (packaging, installation, operation data), and customer feedback. Finally, technical solutions and contact information are provided to address industry pain points such as low screening efficiency for fine particulate materials and frequent replacement of screen panels.
