Screen mesh is the key to effective separation of different sizes and types of material. Different types of screen mesh are used for varying applications. Choice of mesh depends on the abrasiveness of the material and the required type of end product.
Polyurethane Screen Mats
Polyurethane screen mats are very hard-wearing, even in the most abrasive applications. Designed for quick and easy installation to reduce downtime, polyurethane screen mats can be supplied in a modular form to aid with equalising wear across the whole screening surface.
Woven Mesh
Woven mesh is made from steel strands woven at right angles to form square or slotted apertures. Slotted mesh is more useful for damp materials where blinding can often occur and can be used as an alternative to speedharp during heavy applications.
Welded Mesh
Wires are spot welded to create a grid. The longitudinal wires lie on the top to aid material movement over the apertures. As with woven mesh, size of aperture can be standard or bespoke depending upon the application.
Punch Plate
Punch plate can increase production and are often used for larger feedstock. Apertures are cut using computerised plasma techniques.
Flexi-Screen
Self-cleaning or z-screens are most effective for sticky applications. Flexi-screens are usually made from spring steel to allow for the natural movement that is the key to preventing blinding.
Finger Screen
Cascading fingers encourage material to move along the deck while the open ended rows prevent bliding in heavy-duty, sticky or damp applications.
Speedharp
The most effective method for screening fine or corrosive material, speedharps, or pianowire mesh, have a higher percentage of open area resulting in higher productivity.
