Shaker screens material and appearance
Shaker screens material is not only the screen cloth material but also the plate, the frame, the rubber strip, etc.
General shaker screens material
To get all materials cleared firstly lets introduce shaker screen structure or parts. Shaker screen panel consists of screen cloth, plate/or support frame, the rubber strip under tube. Usually, the screen cloth also called the wire mesh is made of high quality S.S304~316L to insure rust-free, and more durability. Based on clients’ demand the wire grade is optional at different budget level.
For the plate supporting screen layers, almost of them are made of cold rolled plate (a kind of carbon steel plate) thicks 1.5~2mm. Rare clients will request S.S plate. The plate will be punched with different shape holes. The plate will be punched with certain shape. Such as rectangular, square, triangle, hexagonal, and so on. On one single shaker, the holes can vary, too. We know famous brand NOV Brandt@ screen VSM@, Venom@ punched with different size triangle.
The support frame will be welded with square tubes and plate together if the screens are steel framed one. If the shaker screen panel is composite framed the square tubes will be welded well and embedded in composite material after injecting plastic process. The composite material consists plastic, rubber, fiber, etc.
Ye, there are also the polyurethane screens made of high quality urethane with 2 side support rod embedded in urethane material. Another type urethane screen is made by M-I SWACO™
