Next-generation screen enhances uptime, performance

Haver & Boecker Niagara launched its next-generation Niagara T-Class vibrating screen. 

Haver & Boecker Niagara says the new design retains the technical benefits the original concentric technology is known for while improving screening uptime and performance with new features. 

The T-Class provides producers with a cost-effective, maintenance-friendly solution to process a range of materials within the aggregate industry.

According to the company, the T-Class deck frame is now primarily lockbolted rather than welded to provide optimum strength, reliability and safety. Haver & Boecker Niagara says lockbolts are more effective than welding in the demanding, load-bearing, high-vibration operation of a vibrating screen to ensure the machine’s structural integrity. 

Additionally, the company says the new design allows producers to upgrade their vibrating screen with Haver & Boecker Niagara’s new Drop Guard system, further minimizing maintenance. The liners provide 100 percent crossbeam protection, both reducing wear and extending the life of vibrating screens. The system drops over the crossbeam with no adhesive or tools required, making installation quick and easy.  

Haver & Boecker Niagara also redesigned the flat-deck frames of the new T-Class for simplified maintenance. The pin-and-anchor deck frame is adaptable to virtually any pin-style modular screen media, the company says. It features polyurethane anchors that are easy to replace and prevent premature wear on the deck frame. 

The T-Class can be manufactured for side-tensioned or bottom-deck end-tensioned screen media, Haver & Boecker Niagara adds. Each new side-tensioned machine comes with the company’s Ty-Rail quick-tensioning system, which minimizes screen changeout times.

“The new, more robust T-Class was designed specifically to offer more strength in the middle of the machine, where it’s needed most,” says Duncan High, the product manager behind Haver & Boecker Niagara’s new T-Class design. “Each update was engineered with ease of maintenance in mind to keep downtime low while providing cost-efficiency.”
