UK Mining Case: Derrick TH48-30 Polyurethane Screen Plate Improves Grading Efficiency by 23%
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.
1、 Project Background
In April 2025, a leading British mining group (PMS) sought a high-precision, long-life screen panel solution to upgrade its lead-zinc ore beneficiation process. After global comparisons, the company selected our Derrick TH48-30 substitute polyurethane high-frequency screen panel (0.5mm aperture) to replace its original metal screen.
2、 Core advantages of the product
- Ultra thin and precise grading
- Aperture tolerance of 0.5mm ± 0.02mm ensures consistency in material grading of -500 mesh
- Polyurethane material elastic screening reduces particle blockage (compared to the customer's original metal screen panel blockage rate of ↓ 60%)
- Durable under extreme working conditions
-Tear resistance strength ≥ 35MPa, suitable for 3000 high-frequency vibrations per minute
-Acid and alkali resistance (pH 2-12), suitable for UK humid climate
- Quick Change Design
-Modular splicing structure
-The weight of a single piece is only 2.3kg, which can be operated manually
3、 On site verification
- Packaging & Quality Control
Waterproof film + cardboard box packaging for international shipping.
- Installation process
Perfect compatibility with Derrick Hyperpool vibration motors
- Performance Data
-Processing capacity: ↑18% (up to 42 tons/hour).
-Lifespan: 8-10 months (vs. original metal screen’s 4 months).
4、 Customer Testimony
“These polyurethane screen panel significantly reduced our downtime maintenance frequency, and the 0.5mm grading accuracy fully met expectations”
—— [MR. Smith-Production Manager, PMS Mineral Processing Plant]
5、 Technology Extension
Does your project face the following issues?
- The classification efficiency of fine-grained materials (-0.045mm to 1mm) is low
- Frequent replacement of sieve plates leads to an increase in production costs
- Need to adapt to highly corrosive slurry environments
