Montreal-based Major Wire has introduced its OptimumWire woven wire screen media, which it says provides up to 40 percent longer wear life compared to traditional woven wire of the same diameter.
OptimumWire is manufactured with a high carbon and high manganese content, providing more resistance to abrasion and better performance for screening operations, according to the company. Major Wire says the new product’s high ductility, hardness and tensile strength make it less susceptible to breaking in high impact conditions and with highly abrasive materials, resulting in minimal labor and maintenance costs.
