EXCEPTIONAL RETURN ON INVESTMENT

The unique combination of the patented high capacity Stack Sizer and Derrick Polyweb urethane screen surfaces (as fine as 45 microns) now makes fine wet screening a practical reality. Over a thousand Stack Sizers are currently operating at mineral processing plants worldwide and earning significant returns. For example, replacing hydrocyclones with Stack Sizers can result in increased mill capacity and production rates, reducing power consumption per ton. Improved classification also minimizes overgrinding of valuable minerals, improving the performance of downstream processes.
