Global Best-Practice Benchmarked, Apollo-Optimized
Apollo Wedge-Wire Flat Panels are engineered for high-performance dewatering, classification, desliming, rinsing, and vibrating screen media applications in mining and mineral processing.
Available slot range: 0.2 mm to 3 mm (custom sizes also available as per process requirement).
Manufactured in SS304, SS316L, Duplex 2205, Super-Duplex 2507, and hybrid options with PU protection for extreme abrasion.
High precision welding ensures accurate slot tolerance with open area typically 30%–60%, depending on wire profile.
Panels can be supplied in custom dimensions including typical industry formats like 430×800 mm, 590×1219 mm, or larger welded panels up to several metres.
Why Apollo Screens Lead in Mining Applications
• Stronger wire profile + superior welding control → longer wear life compared to conventional welded mesh or perforated plates.
• Non-clogging wedge-wire design ensures maximum throughput even in fines-rich slurries.
• Custom metallurgy for severe abrasion (Duplex / Super-Duplex) improves service life in silica, coal, iron ore, and sand processing.
• High rigidity thanks to optimized support-rod spacing and heavy-duty frames.
• Modular & pegged-type options available for vibrating screen decks.
Apollo Technical Specification
Working Wire (Wedge Wire) Profiles
• V-shaped wedge wire profiles such as 3×5 mm, 4×10 mm, 5×8 mm, or customer-specific profiles.
• Profile selection optimized for open area, strength, and blinding resistance.
Support Rods / Reinforcement
• Available in round or flat support rods.
• Typical rods: 3×5 mm, 5×12 mm, 10–12 mm, depending on load, vibration, and deck span.
Slot (Aperture) Options
• 0.2 mm to 3 mm standard.
• Fine filtration versions (≤0.1 mm) available with tighter welding quality checks.
• Slot selection is based on feed PSD, deck vibration intensity, and desired cut-point.
Open Area
• 30% → 60%, depending on the wire profile and spacing.
• Higher open area = higher flow.
• Apollo balances open area with mechanical stability for extended life in abrasive environments.
Edge & Frame Options
• Stainless steel welded frames
• PU or rubber-edge for vibration damping
• Pegged modular panels for fast deck replacement
Manufacturing Tolerances & QA
• Tight slot-variation control to prevent underflow contamination
• 100% weld integrity checks
• Slot calibration & sample QC for every batch
Practical Notes (Field Observations & Industry Learnings)
• Correct alloy selection drastically increases life — Duplex panels often last 2–4× longer in silica or iron-ore environments.
• Non-blinding wedge shape reduces downtime and maintains throughput.
• Balancing strength vs open area is key — high vibration decks require heavier rods and wire profiles.
• Precise slot control prevents oversize leakage and improves downstream recovery efficiency.
• Sieve bends / desliming screens – pre-classification before hydrocyclones
• Drain & Rinse (D&R) circuits – especially in gold and mineral recovery
• CIP/CIL processing – heavy-duty wedge-wire for gold absorption tanks
• Wash plants – sand, silica, gravel, aggregate
