ENDURON®

Comminution Equipment

VD Dewatering Screens
 With superior efficiencies and capabilities, the Enduron® dewatering
screen is a combination of proven screen media technology and
innovative screen design

Weir Minerals has been a global leader in the design,

manufacture, installation and servicing of dewatering
screens for more than 40 years.
The Enduron® dewatering screen range is designed for
heavy-duty applications in the sand and aggregate,
mining and minerals processing industries. Supported
by our robust Linatex® modular screen media systems,
the Enduron® dewatering screens have been specifically
designed to meet the rigorous demands of the market.

Engineering excellence
Our engineers have utilized the latest screen design
technology, their collective experience and “Finite
Element Analysis” to develop the Enduron® screen
range.
The end result is a series of screens that are engineered
to provide:
• Excellent water removal
• High load capacity
• Low total cost of ownership

Selection process Applications
While design and accuracy of engineering are critical While primarily applied to dewatering with retained
components to maximise water recovery, guidance fines, the Enduron® dewatering screen range is capable
in the appropriate selection of screen sizing is just as of being used in a wide range of other applications,
important. The Enduron® dewatering screen range some examples of which are outlined below.
delivers excellent load capacity and water removal Scalping oversize from suspensions and slurries
when applied in the appropriate environment. Factors
• Removal of tramp material such as wood chips
that need to be considered include:
from gold ore pulp (CIP)
• Type of material to be screened
• Removal of oversize material from pulp of beach
• Specific gravity of material sand cutting at 1mm (.039in)
• Dry feed rate or slurry mph or m3/hr Dewatering and draining (open circuit)
(stph or ft3/hr)
• Dewatering activated carbon in CIP circuits
• Percentage of solids by weight in feed slurry
• Replacement of rake classifiers, rotary sand
• Bulk density of the material to be screened (t/m3 dewatering machines and sand screws
or lbs/ft3)
• Tailings dewatering
• Particle size distribution
• Sand dewatering
• Desired water content in end product
Desliming/media recovery
• Removing of fines from activated carbon (CIP)
• Removal of fines in 65 um fine coal
