Not all rubber is the same... In the world of screening, the choice of rubber material is far from trivial—it’s a critical decision that impacts everything from wear life to screening efficiency. The demands of different applications—whether it's scalping, sizing, or dewatering—require materials that can meet specific challenges head-on. For example, in general screening operations, a balanced rubber formulation (like our XR rubber compound) provides just the right mix of flexibility and durability to handle varying material sizes and conditions. But in high-abrasion environments, the same formulation may not hold up, leading to premature wear, reduced efficiency, and more frequent changeouts. In these cases, an extreme durability formulation like our XR100 or XR200 is necessary—engineered to withstand sharp, abrasive materials and heavy impact over extended periods. There’s also the challenge of blinding and material buildup, which can drastically reduce throughput and increase maintenance costs. Elastic rubber formulations like our FXR or FXR100 are specifically designed to flex under impact, dislodging materials before they have a chance to block apertures. These kinds of material-specific solutions allow for consistent screening performance, even in applications that are prone to clogging. Selecting the wrong rubber material for the job can result in costly inefficiencies, shorter wear life, and unnecessary downtime. That's why understanding the unique properties of rubber formulations is essential to optimizing performance and ensuring long-term operational success.
