Aggregate Screens

Non-Blinding Aggregate Screens

Non-blinding screens that minimize pegging and blinding while separating flakes and splinters, with high open area for higher throughput on your vibrating screen.

Prevent Screen Blinding

How Non-Blinding Screens Stay Clean

Screen blinding and pegging are two of the most common causes of lost screening performance on aggregate screens. Fines, moisture and sticky material can coat the wire and plug the openings, and near-size particles can peg in the apertures. As the open area closes, throughput drops and oversize material carries into your product.

Non-blinding screens are designed so the wires vibrate independently. That movement dislodges material before it can build up, so the screen surface stays clean. They minimize pegging and blinding while still separating flakes and splinters, and their high open area, compared to square openings, gives higher throughput.

Warning Signs

Signs of Screen Blinding

  • Openings plugged with fines or damp material

  • Near-size particles pegged in the mesh

  • Throughput dropping on the screen deck

  • Oversize carrying over into product

  • Frequent stops to clean the screen

What are non-blinding aggregate screens?

Non-blinding aggregate screens are screen media built so the individual wires can vibrate independently. That movement helps keep the openings clear, minimizing pegging and blinding while still separating flakes and splinters from the product.

Blinding happens when fine, sticky or damp material coats the wire and closes off the openings. Pegging happens when near-size particles wedge into the openings and stay there. Either one reduces open area, throughput and screening accuracy.

Because the wires vibrate independently, material that starts to build up or wedge in an opening is shaken loose. This self-cleaning action keeps the screen surface clean and working.

Yes. Non-blinding screens offer high open area compared to screens with square openings, which allows higher throughput on the same screen deck.
