Need Better Screen Cleaning? Get Better Balls!

Mar 26, 2024

Siftex’s Better Balls are not your ordinary screen cleaning balls!  We’ve introduced the exceptional features of our new, 65A durometer, polyurethane Better Balls tailored specifically for screen deblinding and cleaning in multiple high-purity and sanitary applications. Available in white and light gray, these products go above and beyond industry standards, with several key benefits.

USP Class VI Compliance

Both polyurethane BetterBalls are meticulously formulated and manufactured to comply with USP Class VI standards. This ensures you are getting the highest level of purity, making them safe for use in critical processes without the risk of contamination.

Improved Screening Efficiency

With their high rebound resilience, Siftex 65A polyurethane BetterBalls ensure optimal energetic bounce during the screening process. Better Balls are designed to effectively break up and eliminate blinding and pegging on screens. This ensures a continuous and smooth screening process, preventing material buildup and maintaining consistent throughput.

Effective Deblinding

The polyurethane material Siftex formulated is highly durable, offering excellent wear resistance. This ensures a longer lifespan for the balls, reducing the frequency of costly replacements and associated downtime. Our polyurethane BetterBalls are resistant to a wide range of chemicals, making them suitable for use in various industries. 

Industry Leading Three-Way Detectability

The light gray 65A X-SPY BetterBall version is also:

  •  X-ray Detectable: The inclusion of proprietary X-ray detectable properties enhances BetterBall’s safety measures. In the unlikely event of the BetterBalls fragmenting or breaking, the X-ray detectability ensures quick and efficient identification during quality control processes, minimizing the risk of product contamination.
  • Metal Detectable: BetterBalls are formulated with a proprietary, homogenous metal detectable additive.  This approach is a superior added layer of safety because 100% of the BetterBall is metal detectable unlike common “BB” inserted balls which lose detectability in the event the ball cracks and the BB falls out. 
  • Magnet Susceptible: The magnetic susceptibility of Siftex BetterBalls facilitates easy removal of any ball fragments via inline magnetic traps.  This feature is particularly advantageous in process lines where only a magnetic separation system is employed, ensuring thorough and efficient removal of any Better Ball particles.

Consistent Performance and Durability-Cost-Effective Solution

While prioritizing compliance and safety, our 65A polyurethane BetterBalls do not compromise on performance. They are engineered for durability, effective screen deblinding, and long-lasting service, ensuring reliable and consistent results in most types of manufacturing environments and screened materials.Polyurethane Better Balls have a longer lifespan and superior performance than rubber balls, make them a cost-effective solution in the long run.  Reduced maintenance and downtime contribute to overall operational cost savings.

Regulatory Assurance

Siftex’s commitment to meeting and exceeding industry standards and regulatory requirements ensures that you can confidently integrate our polyurethane BetterBalls into your high-purity and sanitary processes.
