Hard to Screen Aggregates? Samscreen’s Harp Screen is Music to Your Ears!

admin — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 15:28:39 +0000

If you’re in the aggregate industry, there’s a good chance that you’re used to dealing with any number of difficult-to-screen materials. If you’re using wire mesh for these applications, you could be facing issues with blinding and pegging. The good news is, you don’t have to deal with these issues – in fact, you can dramatically increase your production – when you choose harp screens from Samscreen, Inc.

If you’re working with sticky, damp aggregates, Samscreen harp screen is the perfect choice for getting the job done right. That’s because harp screens, unlike woven wire cloth, are made up of single wires that move independently of each other during the screening process. There is an increase in open area and no cross wires, which allows for the screening of difficult materials. Additionally, these screens increase productivity, because you’ll be able to screen a greater amount of material per hour.

There are a number of applications for Samscreen harp screen, some of which include:

Sand & Gravel
Topsoil
Construction & Demolition
Quarrying
Coal
Custom Crushing
Mining

Samscreen manufactures harp screen using a variety of wire types, so you’ll be getting just the right wire for your application. Our wire is of the highest grade available and is manufactured in the United States to strict quality tolerances. Choose from:

Heavy Duty Piano Wire
Premium Grade Music Wire
304 Stainless Steel Wire
Maxwear™ Wire

Additionally, Samscreen offers a number of profile and hook styles to choose from, so you can rest assured that your harp screen will provide the perfect replacement. We manufacture harp screens for all makes and models of portable screening plants, and can custom manufacture screens for special applications and machines. Our experienced staff can help you make sure you get the proper screen and the proper fit. To find out more, call us at 888-4-SAMSCREEN, or contact us today.

Branching Out into Colored Mulch? Choose a Samscreen Trommel Drum.

admin — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:06:14 +0000

If you’re in the business of recycling old wood and lumber into landscaping materials, you might want to consider adding colored mulch to your offerings. Both professional landscapers and weekend warriors alike enjoy using colored mulches because of their diverse usage and appearance. Chances are, you already have a trommel machine that you use for separating and sizing your wood chips, but did you know you can also use it to create colored mulch?

A trommel is a screened cylinder that is used to separate aggregates according to size. These screens are particularly effective on lighter, wetter materials like mulch. This is because they provide a constant tumbling action that stirs up the material, adding air to lighten it, keeping it in closer contact with the rotating screen. This allows more materials to slip through faster and easier.

Trommel drums can add to your profits by serving the dual purpose of sorting mulch chips and coloring them as well. To use your trommel for coloring mulch, first seal your drum with plastic. Then, insert a spray bar attached to a color pump. That way, you’ll be able to produce perfectly colored mulch using a minimal amount of colorant. You’ll save money by needing to use less colorant, and make money by gaining the ability to increase your product line.

Samscreen, Inc. offers replacement trommel drums for a wide assortment of trommel machines. We manufacture a full line of trommel drums that are compatible with the industry’s leading manufacturers of trommel machines, such as:

Rated among the best in the industry, Samscreen’s trommel drums are used worldwide in a variety of applications. Samscreen will help you find just the right trommel drum for mulching and mulch coloring applications. We know no two machines and no two materials are the same, so we’ll work with you to find a superior solution. With the quickest turnaround time in the industry, we’ll get your trommel drum to you quickly, so your machine will be back up and running fast. So if a trommel drum is what you need, call 888-4-SAMSCREEN or contact us today, and one of our friendly, knowledgeable representatives will be happy to help.

Looking for Screens for Mining Applications? Samscreen Has Them!

If you’re in the mining industry, you know that downtime costs. Usually, mining is where aggregate production begins, because raw materials are being extracted from the ground for further processing. Such materials as base metals, precious metals, iron, uranium, coal, diamonds, limestone, oil shale, rock salt and potash are all typically the products of mining; or, in other words, any material that can’t be grown or lab-produced.

Because other producers are relying on you for these materials, you want to be sure that if you have any screening concerns, they can be addressed quickly and efficiently. That’s where Samscreen comes in. Samscreen offers a wide range of screening products that will help you stay on schedule and keep materials flowing to your consumers at a profitable rate.

Since many of the materials mined have highly corrosive properties, it’s very important to choose a screening material that is able to withstand these elements. Samscreen strives to manufacture screening materials that are both custom-engineered for your specific mining application and are made from materials produced right here in the United States. And because Samscreen knows that losing even a few hours of work is costly, we provide same-day shipping for our vast inventory of pre-made screens, and offer a one-to-two day turnaround on our custom screens, including heavy duty and stainless steel.

Samscreen offers a number of screening solutions for the mining industry, including:

Additionally, Samscreen manufactures screens that service some of the top names in screening machine brands, such as:

However, if you simply do not have a distributor in your region, Samscreen is more than happy to work directly with you to help you get the parts you need, fast.

We’ve recreated our website to make it more user-friendly, easier to navigate and a venue for ordering parts directly.

Samscreen’s Perforated Plate Infused With Maxwear™ Technology

admin — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 08:10:54 +0000

Perforated plate, also known as punch plate, is an essential part of many applications. Perforated plate is basically manufactured from plate steel, and contains regularly spaced holes varying in size, depending on the application. There are many different perforated plate manufacturers you can choose from, so you might be wondering what the advantages are to using Samscreen perforated plate.

The first advantage is that Samscreen’s perforated plate is manufactured using Maxwear™ steel, which is specially alloyed to provide wear resistance to impact and abrasion, leading to reduced maintenance. In turn, this results in less down time – there are fewer change-outs during production, which are extremely costly.

Another advantage to choosing Samscreen’s perforated Maxwear™ plate is that it will not stretch, so there is no re-tensioning required during the service life of the screen. Additionally, it offers more opening choices – round, hexagon, square or slotted openings, straight or staggered centers, precise, flexible configuration and virtually infinite pattern possibilities.

And, Samscreen perforated plate provides for enhanced screening efficiency. Perforations are staggered in direction of flow. The percentage of open area of perforated screen plate equals or exceeds the percentage of open area in wire cloth, in many cases. Additionally, Samscreen’s perforated plate features clean walled, conical, closely and uniformly spaced perforations, which results in a minimum of blinding. This is because material is always passing through a progressively larger opening

Also, custom engineering is never a problem. Samscreen perforated plate is manufactured to your specifications and offers:

3- to- 5 -day shipping available — the fastest in the industry.
Through-hardened, “as rolled” plate.
Plate that is engineered, designed and customized — we provide you with the right solution.
CAD drawing design approval with each order
Steel mill certificates, which give you the confidence you are buying domestic, first-grade material.
Plate that is infused with Maxwear™ technology.

So if you’re in the market for perforated plate and want the best the industry has to offer, choose Samscreen’s Maxwear™ perforated plate. To learn more, call us today at 1-888-4-SAMSCREEN and one of our knowledgeable staff will be happy to assist you.

Don’t Get “Crushed” By Inferior Products – Choose Samscreen’s Maxwear™ Manganese!

admin — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 17:04:39 +0000

You need crusher liners that can stand up to the wear and tear that’s just a part of the job in the aggregate industry. Poorly made replacements that wear out quickly cost you money – and downtime – so don’t waste another penny on inferior crusher liners – choose Samscreen’s Maxwear™ Manganese line of crusher replacement liners.

What types of crusher manganese liners does Samscreen offer?

Samscreen manufactures all types of crusher liners for jaws, cones and impact crushers using Maxwear™ Manganese, our own special analysis steel that has been developed to withstand the wear and tear of the aggregate field.

Samscreen offers jaws and cones in our Maxwear™ manganese in three grades depending on the crushing conditions encountered — 14 percent, 18-19 percent and 21-23 percent:

14% – Used in general crushing applications, for a mixture of aggregate that is simpler to crush.
18-19% – Used where there are some wear concerns, but have a more consistent product. Best when used when you know what you’re crushing and the material has a known wear profile.
21-23% – This is generally reserved for very hard rock and aggregate where there is a lot of gradient.

What is manganese, anyway?

In its raw state, manganese is considered a relatively soft metal, coming in at around 250 Brinell. After it has work-hardened, it has a wear surface of around 550 Brinell – making it a perfect metal for use in crushing applications. Samscreen’s engineers can discuss your application with you and determine a custom geometry and profile for any given situation. And what’s more, all Samscreen manganese is finish-machined, which ensures consistent fit quality.

How does Samscreen’s manganese lineup provide superior crushing capabilities?

Our wear liners offer excellent wear life and fit and go through a rigorous quality control process which not only checks the metallurgy and casting soundness but also the quality of finish machining. Samscreen’s engineers will gladly review any crushing problems you maybe encountering and develop a customized solution to your unique problem. Whether it be recommending a different metallurgy or designing customized jaw profiles and geometries, you will be assured of our complete focus on providing you with an excellent solution.

How can I order Maxwear™ Manganese?

That’s easy! Just contact your distributor, or, if you don’t have one, please feel free to buy directly from Samscreen. Simply order online, or call us at 1-888-4-SAMSCREEN to place your order today!
