Boosting Throughput

AN ONTARIO QUARRY INCREASES PRODUCTION CAPACITY AND PLANT UPTIME WITH ANTI-PEGGING SCREEN MEDIA SOLUTIONS. By Carol Wasson Frequent plugging or pegging within a screening circuit is a costly maintenance downtime issue. Pegging is the result of near-sized material becoming wedged in the openings of the screen media – a situation which halts efficient aggregate processing and can often create a fines…
