It works with crushed dry aggregates and high tonnage wet applications, such as scrubber or mill discharge. Ty-Dura is also effective for noise reduction.

Haver & Boecker highlighted its Ty-Dura rubber screen media at the 2019 AGG1 Academy & Expo.

“Our Ty-Dura screen media stands up well to the most unforgiving applications,” said Karen Thompson, Haver & Boecker Canada president. “With its high durability and longevity, producers will often be able to spend less time changing worn-out screen media and more time increasing their bottom line.”

Ty-Dura is manufactured in both side-tensioned and modular configurations, and is available in square, round, slotted or specialty opening designs that are all tapered to resist or eliminate pegging.

The side-tensioned hooked sections feature a custom formulated, compression-molded natural rubber, supported by a stainless-steel cable substructure allowing for easy tensioning and preventing the stretching often experienced with other types of rubber screen media.

Ty-Dura’s hooked sections also eliminate the need for a deck conversion when switching from woven wire. Retrofitting a machine from a cambered deck to a flat deck can cost as much as US$15 000 per deck. The hooked sections can be used on the cambered deck to eliminate the need for that conversion. This also allows operators to test the media on a vibrating screen with no additional conversion cost or changes to the machine.

It is an option for top sizes larger than six inches and high tonnages. The rubber – up to 4 inches thick — also resists abrasive material. Its openings are tapered to prevent blinding and pegging.
