Introduction
Apollo’s Sieve Bend Wedge Wire Screens are engineered to perform with unmatched reliability in the most demanding mining and mineral-processing environments. These static curved screens are manufactured using precision-welded V-wire profiles and robust support rods, delivering superior efficiency in slurry separation, high-capacity dewatering, and particle classification.
The unique curved geometry ensures consistent slurry distribution, enhanced stratification, and increased throughput — making Apollo Sieve Bend Screens a trusted solution for leading mines across Australia, South Africa, Latin America, North America, and Asia.
| • Curved Screening Profile (0°, 7°, 15°, 30° options) |
Optimized flow dynamics ensure sharp separation and maximum efficiency |
| • Continuous V-Wire Slot Geometry |
Provides the highest open area among screening media, improving dewatering rates and reducing energy demand downstream. |
| Non-Clogging, Self-Cleaning Design |
The V-shape naturally rejects oversized particles, minimizing blinding — a critical advantage in sticky mineral slurries. |
| Heavy-Duty Resistance Welded Construction |
Ensures long service life under high abrasion, impact, and vibration typical in coal, iron ore, and metal mining. |
| Global Material Flexibility |
Manufactured to international mining standards in: – SS304 / SS316L – Duplex 2205 / Super Duplex 2507 – 904L for high-chloride environments – Specialty alloys for extreme wear zones |
| Wide Slot Range |
50 microns onwards Suitable for fines recovery to coarse classification |
| • Coal Washing & Preparation Plants |
– Desliming, dewatering, fines separation – Pre-drainage before dense media cyclones |
| • Iron Ore Beneficiation |
– Classification, sizing, and slurry management – Removal of ultra-fines before grinding circuits |
| • Gold, Platinum & Base Metals |
– Dewatering of concentrates – Carbon-in-pulp (CIP/CIL) separation support – Scalping in gravity and flotation circuits |
| • Diamond & Gemstone Recovery |
– Pre-concentration screening – Trash/oversize removal |
| • Phosphate, Potash & Fertilizer Minerals |
– High-volume separation of corrosive slurries – Long operating life even in salt-rich environments |
| • Tailings & Water Recovery Systems |
Reduces water load on thickeners – Enables efficient tailings stacking and disposal |
