How to recognise a high quality shaker screen

Why do users need high-quality screens? It is well known that high-quality screens facilitate the efficient passage of drilling fluids and possess relatively high electrical conductivity. Having a relatively long service life will result in additional time and cost savings throughout the drilling process. 

So how should we identify the quality of the screen?

AIPU offers screen material options in either an iron frame or a composite frame. You can customize the screen material to suit your preferences.

After receiving the screen, we need to first check the package's integrity and the label on it. Next, the screen's appearance needs to be checked after opening the package. Of course, in addition to the appearance, we also need to check the screen size and mesh size.
