A grizzly screen or deck is a simple way to separate oversized rocks before they are fed into a crushing unit that will be crushed into smaller pieces for further processing. There is a rich history behind grizzly screens, as they were first used a few hundred years ago when mining first became mechanized. Since then, grizzly screens/decks have evolved into essential equipment which enhances the automated refining operation of the modern era.

Read MoreWhat Does ISO Stand for? Customers often inquire about our ISO Certification. ISO stands for “International Organization for Standardization”, despite the fact that the letters are out of sequence. The name in different languages results in different acronyms. Thus, all 164 countries (who use ISO) agreed to use the ISO designation.
Read MoreWhat Is a Waterjet Cutter?
A waterjet cutter is a versatile industrial tool that can be used to cut a wide variety of wear resistant steels and other materials such as wood and glass. The waterjet cuts through material by combining a very high-pressure jet of water with fine particles of garnet (60,000 to 90,000 psi). This combination “gouges out” or removes tiny particles of the wear resistant steel, which effectively makes the cut. Water alone with no garnet can be used to cut softer material such as wood, plastic or rubber.
Read MoreAustenite and Martensite, in steel, refers to the microstructure of steel at the atomic level. During the tempering process or cooling, Austenite is transformed into Martensite. The ideal wear resistant steel would have a combination of retained Austenite as well as some transformed Martensite.
