With the addition of these new agencies we can bring technology that will help us analyse and provide the right solutions for our customers’ screening requirements,” says Sibley. Sibley says in addition to analytical systems and services available, the Haver and Boecker/Major Wire product line-up includes vibratory equipment, wear and ceramic linings, as well as a full range of screens. “The company’s new pulse vibration analysis technology also allows us to test existing screens and find solutions to optimise processes, equipment and systems on behalf of customers.” “While equipment has not changed dramatically for many years, technology has and is enabling us to accurately determine requirements both in terms of equipment and screen types. By applying solutions based on the results of these analysis and studies, we should, in most cases, be able to reduce costs per tonne of processing. This will more than cover the cost premium of using technologically advanced products and improving ROI,” concludes Sibley. b
