ConExpo-Con/Agg provided Polydeck a platform to intensify its promotion of two screen media products: Ultraclean and Ultramax.

Ultraclean

According to Polydeck, Ultraclean is a modular wire product whose benefits are experienced in sticky applications.

“It doesn’t lead to blinding,” says Trey Rollins, director of marketing and inside sales at Polydeck, which did a hard launch of Ultraclean at ConExpo-Con/Agg. “Basically, we redesigned the panel. There are other panels out in the marketplace like this, but what we’ve done is upgraded the design in a way that helps it be more efficient. There’s more open area in this than what you would see in a competitive panel.”

Rollins says Polydeck oriented Ultraclean’s wire horizontally so it mimics a wire screen’s performance.

“With competitive panels, the wire is run vertically over the panel,” he says. “[Ours] helps clean the material better. We’ve tensioned the wire across the bridge so you get more live action. That, again, helps to clean the materials.”

Ultramax

Ultramax, another screen media product Polydeck focused on at ConExpo-Con/Agg, is part of the company’s Rubberdex family of products.

A Polydeck goal with Ultramax is to equal or exceed the open area of wire cloth.

“It’s not considered an UltraMax panel unless the open area of that panel will meet or exceed the open area of wire cloth,” Rollins says. “The whole point of us launching this product is to compete directly with wire cloth.”

Rollins says the Ultramax panels Polydeck showcased at ConExpo-Con/Agg offer 56.5 percent open area.

“That’s 72 percent more open area than what you would get with a competitor panel,” he says.
