Identify the source of blinding
Moisture, flat particles, clay, static and incorrect aperture geometry can all cause material to lodge in a screen opening. The first step is to inspect what is retained and where it occurs on the deck.
Match media to material behaviour
Self-cleaning wire, a different crimp profile or a change in aperture shape can keep difficult material moving. For wet feed, adequate slope and drainage are equally important; screen media alone cannot compensate for poor feed distribution.
Maintain the whole screen system
Keep tension consistent, remove buildup from the support deck and avoid concentrated impact. A short inspection during planned maintenance helps prevent a small efficiency loss from becoming unplanned downtime.
