Solving Wet & Sticky Material Screening: HUATAO Polyurethane Flip-Flop Screen Boosts Efficiency by 30%

Date Issued:2025-08-17

Innovative Materials & Dynamic Relaxation Technology Eliminate Screen Clogging

Screening wet and sticky materials—such as high-moisture coal and clay—poses a universal challenge for the global coal, metallurgy, and building materials industries. Traditional metal mesh screens, hindered by high surface energy and rigid structures, easily trap fine particles, leading to clogged holes, plummeting efficiency (by over 30%), and soaring energy and maintenance costs.

The Hidden Costs of Clogging

Statistics show 35% of coal screening projects suffer from clogging due to high material moisture. This creates a destructive cycle:

 

  • Fine particles adhere to screens, blocking holes and reducing throughput.
  • Frequent shutdowns for cleaning drive up maintenance expenses.
  • Equipment operates harder to compensate, increasing energy use by 50% and lowering production capacity.

HUATAO’s Solution: Polyurethane Flip-Flop Screens

HUATAO Group’s polyurethane flip-flop screens address these issues through dual innovations in material and design:

1. Superhydrophobic Elastomer Material

Crafted from low-surface-energy polyurethane (surface energy <30mN/m) with a 110° water contact angle, the screens minimize fine particle adhesion at the source—critical for materials with moisture levels over 8%.

2. Dynamic Relaxation Screening

The flexible panel undergoes high-frequency micro-deformation (3–5.5mm amplitude) during vibration, preventing material from lodging in holes and reducing clogging by 90%.

3. Energy-Efficient Design

Adjustable elastic modulus (0.1–1GPa) adapts to diverse materials, cutting energy consumption by 20–40% while maintaining production levels.

Proven Results

Successfully deployed in high-moisture coal mines and clay screening projects worldwide, these screens deliver:

  • Average screening efficiency of over 95%.
  • 3–5 times longer maintenance cycles.
