What Are Screening Planks?
Screening planks are heavy-duty rubber components used in recycling and waste separation equipment to facilitate the sorting and screening of various materials. These planks serve as part of the screening deck in recycling plants, helping to sift, sort, and separate waste materials according to size and type.
Features of Clifton Rubber’s Screening Planks:
- Tough & Flexible Rubber Composition: Provides excellent wear resistance while allowing movement and flexibility.
- Anti-Clogging Design: Reduces material build-up, keeping the screening process efficient.
- Customised to Fit Various Machines: Manufactured to suit different makes and models of screening equipment.
- Long Service Life: Withstands repeated abrasion and high-impact materials common in recycling processes.
