What Polydeck Screen Corporation does

Polydeck Screen Corporation is a privately held, family-owned manufacturer of modular screening media and integrated screening systems, founded in 1978 in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The company designs and produces injection-molded polyurethane (POLYDEX®), rubber (RUBBERDEX®), heavy-duty bolt-down (ARMADEX®), and modular wire (METALDEX®) screen panels, supported by its patented PIPETOP™ ultra-high-open-area stringers, STANDARD and XD frame systems, and PIPETOP/PROTOP trommel systems. A complementary PROTEX® line supplies ceramic, magnetic polyurethane, rubber, and urethane liners that protect feed chutes, transfer points, and conveyor components from wear. Products are primarily configured as a custom-engineered system—panels are specified against site conditions (ore type, feed size, moisture, impact) rather than sold as commodity media—differentiated by documented 3X to 8-10X wear-life multiples over wire cloth and quantifiable throughput improvements of 25-42% at named mine sites (Pend Oreille, Pinto Valley, Bell Creek).

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market combining a 40+ person direct field salesforce (called Screening Experts, organized by industry and geography) with a dealer partner network and eight distribution centers across North and South America. Manufacturing is anchored at a 250,000+ sq ft headquarters in Spartanburg, with international plants in Santiago, Chile (2012) and operating hubs in Peru (2017) and Brazil (2025). Revenue is generated primarily through one-time product sales of replacement-cycle panels and protective products, supplemented by two recurring-adjacent services—free Plant Survey inspections and the paid Pro Analysis screen evaluation—and is backed by risk-free wear-life, labor-savings, and product-specification guarantees. Customers include 5,500+ sites across 40+ countries, concentrated in three verticals: Mining (gold, silver, base metals, mineral processing), Aggregates (crushed stone, sand and gravel), and Energy & Industrial (coal, fines reprocessing). Latest corporate milestones include a 2024 100%-recycled panel, 2025 Brazil direct operations, and 2026 RUBBERDEX XTREME and expanded METALDEX XPT launches at CONEXPO-CON/AGG.

Core offering

Polydeck Screen Corporation manufactures and sells modular synthetic screen media (polyurethane, rubber, heavy-duty bolt-down, and wire panels under the POLYDEX, RUBBERDEX, ARMADEX, and METALDEX brands) along with PROTEX protective liners, PIPETOP stringers and frames, and PIPETOP/PROTOP trommel systems. Products are sold to mining, aggregates, and Energy & Industrial customers through direct field sales, a dealer network, 8 distribution centers, and OEM channels, supported by free Plant Survey and Pro Analysis inspection services.

Product overview

Polydeck Screen Corporation is a B2B manufacturer and supplier of screening solutions serving the mining, aggregates, and Energy & Industrial (E&I) sectors. The product portfolio centers on four modular screen media product lines (POLYDEX®, RUBBERDEX®, ARMADEX®, METALDEX®) which are modular polyurethane, rubber, heavy-duty bolt-down, and wire screen panels respectively. These screen media products are complemented by the PROTEX® family of protective products (ceramic, magnetic polyurethane, rubber, and urethane liners and coatings) and PIPETOP™/TEE/TUBE stringer support systems. Complete screening solutions are delivered through custom-built STANDARD and XD frame systems and PIPETOP™/PROTOP™ trommel systems. The company also offers accessories (pins, spray nozzles, bolt covers, adapters) and services including Plant Survey (deck inspection) and Pro Analysis (screen performance evaluation). The products work together as an integrated screening system where Polydeck's modular screen media panels install onto proprietary stringers and frames, with protective products safeguarding high-wear areas, enabling operators to optimize throughput, wear life, and efficiency across their screening circuits.
