How to choose a reliable polyurethane screen manufacturer in the global market

Finding polyurethane screen manufacturers online is easy, but finding one that can actually deliver on time is difficult. There have been instances where mining companies purchased cheap imported products, only to find they broke down after two months. This article will tell you how to avoid falling into this trap.

Don't blindly pursue the lowest price

Honestly, there's a reason why polyurethane screens are 30% cheaper than other products. Cheap polyurethane means a very low Shore A hardness. Normal polyurethane screens require a hardness of 85-95A, while some cheaper screens may only have a hardness of 70A. This indicates that the manufacturer hasn't added silicon carbide to improve wear resistance during production.

Avoid these two pitfalls

First, never buy screen products without ISO 9001 or ISO 14001 certification. The quality control of these products is practically nonexistent; these manufacturers only show their stock photos and never demonstrate the actual production process. Second, try to avoid products with very low minimum order quantities. Low minimum order quantities usually mean they're cutting corners on raw materials and have no customer orders from mines or coal washing plants in your area.

Before signing any contract, ask the manufacturer for contact information for two or three customers in your country or at least your time zone. Call them and ask about delivery stability, the lifespan of the polyurethane screens, and how they handle warranty claims. Reputable won't shy away from these questions.

There are many suppliers to choose from in the global market, but reliability doesn't depend on whose website is the most eye-catching. It depends on the actual quality of the screens used, whether you can contact their previous customers, and whether the screens meet various specifications and standards. Taking the time to thoroughly research before purchasing polyurethane screens can save you a lot of trouble.
