Polyurethane Coated Steel Wire Rope Screen

Polyurethane Wire Screens (Tufflex Screen Alternative)

Polyurethane Wire Screens, also known as PU Encapsulated Wire Rope Screens or Tufflex Type Screen Cloth, are designed for difficult screening applications where traditional woven wire mesh suffers from pegging, blinding, excessive wear and high noise levels.

The screen combines a high-tensile wire rope core with a wear-resistant polyurethane encapsulation layer, providing exceptional flexibility, impact resistance and self-cleaning performance. Compared with conventional steel wire mesh, it significantly reduces downtime caused by blocked apertures while extending service life in abrasive and wet material applications.

Widely used in mining, quarrying, coal washing, sand and aggregate processing plants, polyurethane wire screens are particularly suitable for sticky, damp and difficult-to-screen materials.

Applications

Polyurethane encapsulated wire screens are ideal for:

• Mining and mineral processing plants
• Coal washing plants
• Quarry and aggregate screening
• Sand and gravel processing
• Iron ore screening
• Limestone screening
• Gold ore processing
• Recycling industries
• Construction material processing
• Wet and sticky material classification

Recommended materials include:

• Coal
• Iron ore
• Limestone
• Granite
• River sand
• Gold ore
• Copper ore
• Tailings
• Silica sand
• Recycled aggregates

For materials prone to blinding and pegging, polyurethane wire screens provide significantly better screening efficiency than conventional woven wire mesh.

Product Advantages

Excellent Anti-Blinding Performance

The flexible polyurethane-coated wire structure generates secondary vibration during operation, helping to prevent material build-up and aperture blockage.

Longer Service Life

Wear-resistant polyurethane encapsulation provides excellent abrasion resistance and impact resistance, significantly extending operating life compared with traditional wire mesh.

Superior Screening Efficiency

The elastic screening surface improves material stratification and particle separation, especially for damp and sticky materials.

Reduced Noise Levels

Polyurethane coating effectively absorbs vibration and reduces operating noise, creating a safer working environment.

Lightweight & Flexible Design

The flexible structure minimizes screen fatigue while improving installation convenience and reducing downtime.
