A lot of suppliers claim they can optimize your screens. Here is what we mean by optimization.

Whenever there is a change in your process (new furnish, new configuration, etc.) there will no doubt be an impact on your screening systems.  This is the right time to have us audit your process and mechanical equipment and run our SimAudit™ to see what changes need to be made to optimize your screens for the new realities.

We help you extract the most performance from your installed screens and extend your overall return on investment.  Performance can usually be optimized without any capital investments - by installing the right cylinder/rotor combination or moving to a different cylinder type or different slot width. 

You can rely on our team of application engineers who are in the field every day.  Their experience and insight are key to our recommendations. 

Mechanical equipment:  We inspect each screen, cylinder, rotor, and clearances to look for damage or wear.  If needed, we perform vibration analysis of the bearings and inspect the seal water system.  This way we will determine the mechanical integrity of the screen and expose any mechanical problems that need attention.

Process:  The data we obtain on-site is analyzed with SimAudit™, a unique tool which has the ability to reveal in detail the status of your screening operation and its potential for optimization.Typical benefits you might receive from a SimAudit™ include:

  • Higher screen or system capacity
  • Higher accept cleanliness of pulp
  • Reduced long fiber loss
  • Reduced power consumption
  • Improved screen or system runnability

Our recommendations focus on raising the reliability of your screens and their operational performance.  In addition to determining the need for immediate actions, our analyses are useful for future planning and proactive maintenance.
