As operations ramp up for a new year, one of the most critical, but often overlooked pieces of equipment in any aggregate, mining, or processing operation is the screen. Properly maintained screens ensure consistent material separation, maximize throughput, and prevent costly downtime.
At Mellott Company, we understand the value of keeping your screens in top condition. That’s why we offer a comprehensive, free screen inspection designed to optimize your equipment and keep your operation running smoothly.
What’s Included in a Mellott Screen Inspection?
During a thorough inspection, our experienced technicians evaluate every critical component of your screen:
-
Screen media condition – Worn or damaged screen media reduces efficiency and can lead to product quality issues.
-
Bearing temperature (drive & non-drive side) – Overheated bearings are a warning sign of lubrication problems or mechanical wear.
-
Spring condition – Weak or broken springs impact vibration efficiency, affecting material separation.
-
Lubrication – Properly lubricated components last longer and reduce the risk of mechanical failure.
-
V-belts – Loose or worn belts can decrease performance and put extra strain on motors.
-
Overall operation – Ensuring the screen operates as designed prevents small problems from becoming costly production interruptions.
The Value of an Optimized Screen
Investing a little time in a professional screen inspection can deliver big results:
-
Maximized productivity – Well-maintained screens operate more efficiently, increasing throughput.
-
Improved product quality – Even separation ensures consistent material sizing.
