# Polyurethane Screens and Shaker Parts: Advantages and Applications

Every engineer dealing with the rapid wear of shaker parts knows how crucial it is to find a material that ensures the longevity of equipment. Metal and rubber parts often require replacement, causing downtime and additional costs. Polyurethane, due to its properties, can be the solution to this problem. In this article, we will explore why polyurethane screens and shaker parts are the optimal choice and how you can order them to meet your specific requirements.

## What Are Polyurethane Screens and Shaker Parts?
Polyurethane screens and shaker parts are high-quality products used in screening systems for material separation and sorting. They are made from cast polyurethane using the free casting technology, which provides enhanced wear resistance, resistance to aggressive environments, and thermal stability from -60 to +100 °C. These products are mounted in shaker assemblies, where they are subjected to constant abrasive loads, but thanks to polyurethane, their wear resistance is 10 times higher than rubber counterparts.

Polyurethane screens are installed in separation shakers, where they serve as the primary elements for sieving materials by fractions. Free casting allows each part to be manufactured to specific sizes and shapes, optimizing the sorting process. This is particularly important in the mining industry, where the accuracy of sieving directly affects process efficiency.

## Advantages of Polyurethane Over Other Materials
Polyurethane has significantly higher wear resistance compared to rubber and metal, making it ideal for use under intensive load conditions. The wear resistance of polyurethane is 10 times higher than rubber, allowing for reduced part replacement frequency and minimized equipment downtime. Additionally, the lightness and reparability of polyurethane components help reduce operating costs and enhance shaker efficiency.

| Criterion | Polyurethane | Rubber | Metal |
|-------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
| Wear Resistance | 10 times higher | Standard | High |
| Working Temperature | -60 to +100 °C | Limited | Wide |
| Reparability | High | Medium | Low |
| Weight | Light | Light | Heavy |

The durability of polyurethane screens reduces the number of downtimes for replacement and maintenance. This is achieved due to their resistance to particle adhesion and ability to operate in a wide temperature range, making them ideal for various operating conditions.

## Application Industries
Polyurethane screens and shaker parts are used in 12 industries, including mining, metallurgy, oil and gas, pulp and paper, and food industries. Their ability to operate in aggressive conditions and long service life make them indispensable under intensive exploitation. For example, in the mining industry, they are used for ore sorting, where high accuracy and minimal material loss are required, which polyurethane screen cells provide.

Additionally, in the printing industry, they are used for sorting paper masses, and in the food industry, for separating different product fractions. In each of these industries, polyurethane screens demonstrate high efficiency due to their properties.

## How to Order Custom Manufacturing
To order polyurethane screens and shaker parts, contact the TIMOL factory. You need to provide drawings or product specifications, and our specialists will calculate the cost and production time. Details about ordering can be found on the [contacts page](/contacts) or by viewing the [product catalog](/katalog). We offer an individual approach to each client, allowing us to create products that best meet your needs.

> **Engineer’s Tip:** When choosing polyurethane screens for shakers, pay attention to the hardness of the material. For conditions with high abrasive loads, we recommend selecting a hardness closer to 70 Shore D to ensure maximum wear resistance.

## Choosing Polyurethane Hardness
The correct choice of material hardness is a key factor in ensuring the optimal performance of screens and shaker parts. For conditions with high abrasive loads, we recommend selecting a hardness closer to 70 Shore D. This will ensure maximum wear resistance and longevity of parts in challenging operating conditions. Consultations on hardness selection can be obtained on the [information page](/informatsiya).

The hardness of polyurethane determines its ability to withstand mechanical impacts. For less intensive conditions, a material with lower hardness can be chosen, providing greater flexibility and reducing the risk of damage under impact loads.

## Installation and Maintenance of Polyurethane Screens
Installation of polyurethane screens is carried out directly on shakers, where they are secured with special fasteners. This allows for quick and easy replacement if needed, without resorting to complex repair work. Thanks to their modular design, damaged sections can be replaced without dismantling the entire system.

Maintenance of polyurethane screens involves regular inspection for mechanical damage and periodic cleaning from contaminants. It is also important to monitor the condition of the fasteners to avoid potential emergency situations.

## Conclusion
Polyurethane screens and shaker parts significantly reduce maintenance costs and increase equipment efficiency. Their application in various industries enhances productivity and reduces equipment downtime. For consultation and ordering, contact the TIMOL factory via the [contacts page](/contacts).
