Screen basket

Fiedler’s newly developed screen basket surface geometry prevents a fiber mat from forming on the screen basket surface while at the same time increases the capacity. This is achieved through a new, special profile that does not filter but actually screens. Width of slots can be minimized down to 0.004 in. when machined mechanically and can be made even smaller when laser and electron-beam technology is used.

Roll covers

Coldwater PolyWire polyurethane wire and wet felt roll covers provide less slippage, which results in longer wire life. Polywire polyurethane covers are hydrophobic; they never absorb water because they are made from polyurethane. Polywire is more durable than bone-hard rubber, yet runs at 10 to 15 P&J to transfer power from the roll to the wire, or the wire to the roll, with less slippage.

Motor cover

The MotorCover is a new solution from Worthington designed to improve motor performance. It is a form fitting fiberglass cover that keeps debris out of motor cooling fins and away from the air intake. The MotorCover provides lower operating temperatures, which translate into increased motor, insulation, and bearing life. This results in fewer winding failures, increased bearing life, less maintenance, and fewer forced outages.
