SCREEN MESH

Manuafactured at our site, are metal screens made from round plain weave wire.Types of Screens

APPLICATION AND USE OF WOVEN WIRE VIBRATING SCREENS.

Mining and General IndustryScreens for all kinds Minerals and Earth, in Stone Crushing and Sand Handling Plants,at Copper, Diamond, Coal, Chrome, Gold and Manganese Mines , Quarries etc.

FarmingScreens for sieving and sizing corn,all kinds of seed and nuts etc. Screens for drying coffee,Tea,Fruits, etc.

HOW TO ORDER SCREENS

Specify (a) Opening or mesh (b) Wire diameter(c) Metal required

Specify length and width of screen

For vibrating screens specify(a) Type of Hook(b) Length of hook(c) Dimension between hooks

For long - slot screens specify(a) Length and width of slot(b) Wire diameter(c) Metal required(d) Direction of slots

ORDER REQUIREMENTS

Thickness of wire: Thick wire will last longer than thin wire, but will give a smaller open area and will there pass less material per unit area.

Open Area: This is the most important factor in obtaining maximum output.The larger the open area the less screen area is wasted and the faster the speed of screening.This open area factor must be balanced against the wire diameter to give adequate life.

Mesh: The mesh refers to the number of openings per mm or inch.

Aperture or Opening Width: This is the actual opening between the wires,and is also referred to as space.Thus, 10mm aperture, 4mm wire means the wires are 10mm apart,and the diameter of wire is 4mm.
