MAJOR Debuts OPTIMUMWIRE Thermo Screen At CONEXPO/CON-AGG 2026

23 Feb 2026 CW Team

The Thermo Screen has been engineered for extreme heat environments and is rated to withstand temperatures over 2,192 degrees Fahrenheit and 1,200 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for asphalt recycling, hot clinker and quicklime screening and mineral processing. Its advanced construction aims to maintain equipment uptime and to reduce maintenance frequency and costs in demanding applications. The design provides consistent screening performance regardless of weather or material variations.

The company described the Thermo Screen as eliminating heat-related blinding, pegging and clogging through a self-cleaning action that sustains throughput. An asphalt production plant that replaced traditional screens with Thermo Screens on all decks reported up to 35 per cent higher throughput and 40 per cent lower maintenance costs, alongside improved media durability. These operational gains were highlighted as evidence of the screen's efficacy in active production environments.

MAJOR developed the Thermo Screen to address the limitations of polyurethane connections, which can melt in high-heat settings, by using its proprietary OPTIMUMWIRE connection produced in-house without compositional changes to ensure consistent quality. The OPTIMUMWIRE Thermo Screen expands MAJOR's product range alongside FLEX-MAT Tensioned and FLEX-MAT Modular screen media and traditional woven wire to offer a comprehensive screening portfolio. The company also provides on-site screening performance assessment and training to help producers increase screening efficiency and reduce cost per tonne.

MAJOR will debut the OPTIMUMWIRE Thermo Screen at CONEXPO/CON-AGG 2026 in Las Vegas, showcasing the technology in the Las Vegas Convention Center Central Hall at Booth C32269. The launch introduces a screen media designed for sustained performance in high temperature operations and for producers seeking a unified screen solution across a site. The company said visitors can inspect the product and discuss application suitability with its technical staff.
