Urethane screen openings

Urethane screens are mostly used in mining industry, coal washing, civil construction. That requests different configuration on screen size or openings. Their hole types are different with oil drilling shaker screen.

For example, we usually say API 100 of shaker screen made of stainless steel wire mesh. However, we call polyurethane size as 0.075mm opening or aperture. Furthermore, the polyurethane screen is only single layer. While the common S.S screen are usually 2-3 layers. Some configuration even 4 layers

Polyurethane shaker screen fabrication is not as flexible as S.S one, especially on opening. Since the raw material limit manufacture technology. As we said, they are almost injected with certain mould.
