Screen plate for the mining industry BRX Series

for water treatment

Overview
Using FLS screens in grinding and classification applications helps sharpen particle size control, stabilise mill discharge, and protect downstream equipment. FLS matches screen type, geometry and media to specific duties to reduce over-grinding, maintain circuit efficiency and keep throughput on target.

Key benefits

• Stable circulating load — tailored screen and media packages reduce over-grinding and keep consistent flow to downstream separation.
• High availability operations — access-friendly layouts, proven drive packages and protected wear zones to compress shutdown duration and enable fast exchange bodies.
• Predictive monitoring — modular online condition monitoring and the Screen Motion Analyser enable early fault detection and trend-based maintenance.
• Assured performance changeover — motion-based audits and site trials de-risk upgrades and ensure seamless integration with cyclones, mills and pumps.
• Greenfield efficiency focus — designs and operating envelopes selected to support lower water and energy intensities from commissioning onward.

Product families and typical duties

• BRX Series — Designed for grinding and classification circuits (SAG mill discharge, wet and dry classification, desliming). Engineered for high availability and high G-force capability. Wide size range supports heavy tonnage duties.
• UHS Series — Compact horizontal linear-motion screens for safety/trash-barrier and lighter duty applications (sump outlets, tank discharges, pump feeds). Low-headroom and retrofit-friendly with simple dual-motor drives.
• VSW Series (dewatering) — Dewatering screens for moisture control and early water recovery, reducing load on thickeners and filters.

Screening AssetHealth and condition monitoring
Screening AssetHealth (portable Screen Motion Analyser, SMA) evaluates screen motion while in operation: vibration, stroke, frequency, acceleration and lateral displacement. This assessment identifies misalignment, exciter degradation, incorrect motion profiles and wear patterns to prioritise interventions and reduce unplanned stoppages. Online condition monitoring integration enables trend analysis and continuous improvement.

Applications

• SAG mill discharge screening (horizontal BRX configurations to remove correctly sized material early and reduce recirculating load).
• Wet and dry classification duties (precise particle-size separation for downstream flotation, gravity separation or product specs).
• Desliming (inclined / multi-slope configurations with VSW follow-on for fine moisture control).
• Safety and protection duties (UHS screens as trash barriers to remove tramp material before pumps, cyclones or downstream equipment).

Features and design highlights

• BRX Series up to 4.8 m wide x 11 m long (industry extensive size range).
• High G-force capability and robust structure suitable for heavy-duty, high-tonnage duties.
• Media flexibility: modular panels, cross-tensioned cloths and bolted panels to optimise open area, wear life and cut-size accuracy.
• Stress-relieving frames, vibration-isolating mounting and advanced exciter options (including patented bearing lubrication) to extend maintenance intervals and structural life.
• Access-friendly layouts, protected wear zones and standby exchange bodies to reduce intervention time and downtime.
• Motion-based audits, site trials and process modelling to validate upgrades and ensure integration with cyclones, mills, pumps and water balance objectives.

Caractéristiques / spécifications techniques
