What is the reasons for different prices of polyurethane screen?

In the field of industrial screening, polyurethane screens are widely used in mining, environmental protection, chemical industry, metallurgy and other industries due to their excellent performance, such as high wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and low noise. However, the prices of polyurethane screens on the market vary greatly, which often confuses buyers when choosing. What exactly causes the difference in polyurethane screen prices? Below we will analyze the reasons in depth and explore its price trend.

Production process level

Advanced production technology can ensure that the quality of polyurethane screens is more stable and reliable. For example, the use of high-precision mold manufacturing technology can make the aperture of the screen more uniform and the screening accuracy higher. At the same time, advanced processing technology can also optimize the molecular structure of polyurethane materials and improve their comprehensive performance. However, due to the relatively backward production equipment and technology of some small manufacturers, the quality of the screens they produce is difficult to guarantee, and the price is relatively low. These low-quality screens may have problems such as large aperture deviation and poor mesh flatness, which affect the screening effect and service life.

Raw material differences

The main raw material of polyurethane screens is polyurethane, which is divided into different types and grades. High-quality polyurethane raw materials have better physical properties, such as higher strength, wear resistance and aging resistance. Screens produced using this high-quality raw material have stable performance and long service life, but the cost is also relatively high. On the contrary, some low-priced screens may use lower-quality polyurethane raw materials. Although they can meet basic screening needs in the short term, they are prone to problems such as rapid wear and strength loss during long-term use, and the replacement frequency increases. In the long run, the total cost may be higher.

Take a large mining company as an example. When purchasing polyurethane screens, it compared screens produced from different raw materials. The price of screens made of high-quality polyurethane raw materials is about 30% higher than that of screens made of ordinary raw materials. However, in actual use, the service life of high-quality screens has reached 12 months, while ordinary screens need to be replaced after only 4 months of use. Frequent replacement of screens not only increases procurement costs, but also increases equipment downtime, affecting production efficiency. Counting the losses caused by equipment downtime, the total cost of using ordinary raw material screens far exceeds that of high-quality raw material screens.

Product specifications and customization requirements

Different application scenarios have different requirements for the specifications of polyurethane screens. The size, aperture, wire diameter and other parameters of the screen will affect its price. Generally speaking, screens with larger sizes, smaller apertures or finer wire diameters are more difficult to produce and more expensive. In addition, if customers have special customization requirements, such as special shapes, colors or special physical properties, manufacturers need to invest more in R&D and production costs, which will also lead to price increases. In contrast, conventional specifications of screens have relatively low costs and are cheaper due to their large production batches.

In the short term, the price of polyurethane screens is significantly affected by the fluctuation of raw material prices and the market supply and demand relationship. If the price of polyurethane raw materials rises recently, such as the basic raw material cost of polyurethane production increases due to the fluctuation of crude oil prices, the production cost of polyurethane screens will also increase accordingly, and manufacturers may increase product prices accordingly.

In summary, the different prices of polyurethane screens are the result of the combined effect of multiple factors, and their price trends are also dynamically affected by many factors. When purchasing polyurethane screens, buyers should not only look at the price, but should comprehensively consider the raw materials, production process, and product specifications.
