Tufflex Screen

Tufflex is polyurethane coated stainless steel wire rope screen with the same
open area as woven wire and huge advantages over traditional screens.
The Tufflex screen is made up of two types of ropes welded together. The rope
running from hook to hook is a wire rope with a thick polyurethane
covering.This rope, with the wire, allows the hooked edge screen to be
tensioned like other hooked edge screens, with no modifications to machinery
required.
The same maintenance procedures of checking the screen tension applies to
Tufflex screens. The other rope is made up of a fine synthetic cord, also with
thick polyurethane covering, and runs parallel to the hooked edge. For side-
tensioned set-ups, this rope acts like rider bars for larger stones to slide
down the deck, channelling smaller ones closer to the apertures. This increased
stratification improves screening efficiency. With the end-tensioned screens,
this rope can be used on top, running in a cross-flow orientation, or
positioned underneath the rope with the wire.
The Tufflex Screen Features
• Tufflex is a polyurethane-coated screen media that can be substituted for
traditional woven wire screens with minimal adjustment to the screen deck.
• Available in several combinations of both rope and wire diameter and aperture
size, Tufflex offers additional customisation options via partially or fully
welded screen cloths.
• The smooth surface of the polyurethane prevents sticking and blinding, which
is further enhanced by the flexibility offered by Tufflex's cloth construction.
• The Tufflex cloths not only improved the quality but also minimised blinding,
improved efficiency and have great wear. this provides the site with longer
periods between changeover and less downtime during busy screening periods.
• The available range of Tufflex screens is extensive, with aperture sizes
ranging from 1.5mm to 45mm and square and rectangular aperture shapes, similar
to woven wire.
