Preventive Maintenance Spotlight: Screen Maintenance = Less Down Time, Higher Production Rates, MORE PROFIT!
Your grinding media is only as effective as the screen that controls it. When it comes to optimizing mill performance, screen maintenance is often overlooked—but it can make or break your productivity.
Why Screen Maintenance Matters
Neglecting your mill’s screens can lead to:
- Unexpected downtime
- Reduced production throughput
- Inconsistent grind quality
- Accelerated wear on media and mill parts
On the flip side, proper screen care leads to more uptime, faster production rates and improved profit margins.
Ask Yourself:
- Are you using the correct screen size for your media?
- What is your worn screen telling you?
- When is it time to replace the screen?
These questions aren’t just technical—they’re operational. A worn or mismatched screen impacts not only the grind but also the bottom line.
