Polyurethane screen materials provide exceptional wear resistance, impact resistance, and elasticity, making them suitable for high-load screening environments. Contact us.
Our modular screen panels are lightweight and designed for quick installation and replacement, minimizing downtime during maintenance shifts.
The elasticity of polyurethane is several times higher than natural rubber, allowing the elastic PU screen to quickly rebound under material impact, increasing opening rate and reducing clogging, especially for wet or sticky materials.
Polyurethane elastomer wear resistance can exceed metal and traditional rubber, delivering significantly longer operating life and reducing downtime and replacement costs.
The flexible structure of anti-clogging PU screen design allows continuous vibration cleaning effect, ensuring stable screening performance even in high-moisture or fine particle conditions.
Steel cable or fiber reinforced skeleton structure inside PU elastic mesh improves tensile strength and load capacity, ensuring stable operation under heavy material flow.
Elastic polyurethane screens resist acids, alkalis, oils, and moisture, enabling stable performance in wet screening and chemical environments.
Compared with metal screens, elastic polyurethane screens reduce operating noise and vibration, improving plant working conditions.

(1) High elasticity: The elasticity of polyurethane is 3-8 times that of natural rubber. It can rebound quickly under the impact of ore and reduce clogging (opening rate increased by 15-30%).
(2) Wear resistance and tear resistance : The wear resistance is 3-5 times that of steel plates, and the service life is 8-10 times that of metal screens (for example, it can reach 12-24 months in coal washing plants).
(3) Corrosion resistance: Resistant to acid/alkaline media (pH 3-12), oil and water erosion, suitable for wet screening.
(4) Noise reduction and vibration reduction: It reduces noise by 10-15 decibels compared to metal screens, improving the working environment.
(1) Reinforced skeleton: usually embedded with steel cable or polyester mesh to provide tensile strength (can withstand tension >50kN/m).
(2) Edge sealing technology: The edge of the screen is sealed with metal edge plates or polyurethane casting to ensure that it will not deform during tensioning installation.
(3) Opening form: square, rectangular, etc., aperture 0.1mm-150mm can be customized (0.1-3mm is commonly used for fine particle classification, and 10-100mm is mostly used for aggregate screening ).
| index | Polyurethane elastic screen | Metal screen | Rubber screen |
| Service life | 8-24 months | 1-3 months | 6-12 months |
| Opening rate | 35%-50% | 25%-40% | 30%-45% |
| Plugging rate | <5% (self-cleaning effect) | 15%-30% | 10%-20% |
| Noise level | 70-80 dB(A) | 85-100 dB(A) | 75-85 dB(A) |
| Impact resistance | ★★★★★ (Absorbed kinetic energy>50J) | ★★★★☆ (Easily deformed) | ★★★★★ |
The advantage of elasticity is reflected in: the screen surface is slightly deformed when the ore impacts → elastic force is released → material is thrown + hole wall self-cleaning → efficiency is increased by 20%-40%.
(1) High wear conditions
Iron ore/gold ore primary screening: Resistant to impact wear of ores >50mm (lifespan up to 18 months).
Quartz sand classification: resistant to fine-grain abrasion (0.2-1mm aperture screen annual wear <1mm).
(2) Wet screening
Coal washing plant dehydration and desludging: elastic vibration accelerates the stripping of water molecules (moisture content reduced by 3%-5%).
Aggregate water washing screen: anti-mud corrosion (no aging in pH 4-10 environment).
(3) Fine grading
Calcium carbonate micropowder sieve (200 mesh): 0.075mm aperture maintains long-term stability.
Recycled plastic sorting: elastic surface reduces fiber entanglement.
1. Classification by structure
Tensioned Type: Steel wire rope core + metal edging, suitable for large vibrating screens (such as Derrick high-frequency screens).
Modular Type: A quick-install design with bolt holes, which increases replacement efficiency by 70% (such as Schenck Process's POLY-MOD series).
2. Select by function
| need | Recommended Type | Case |
| Resistant to large impacts | Thick PU + multi-layer steel wire rope (≥25mm) | Granite crushing primary screen |
| Fine grading | Thin layer of PU + polyester mesh (8-15mm) | Silica powder ultrasonic sieve |
| High dehydration rate | Slit screen (slit width 0.5-3mm) | Coal preparation plant uncoal dewatering screen |
Red Star recommends: When selecting a model, it is necessary to comprehensively consider material characteristics, equipment parameters and cost cycle in order to maximize its technical value.
(1) Tension control: A uniform tension of 15-20 kN/m must be maintained (too loose will cause breakage, too tight will accelerate hemming fatigue).
(2) Temperature limit: long-term working temperature -30℃~+80℃ (elasticity drops sharply when >100℃).
(3) Avoid contact: Strong oxidants (such as concentrated nitric acid) and ester solvents (such as ethyl acetate) will swell the material.
