| Applications requiring wire cloth or screen panels
as an element of the manufacturing process, or, when wire cloth is
incorporated into a manufactured product, profitability may depend upon
the screen specifications. |
| |
| Material |
| The metal composition or alloy
selection will determine the screens ability to resist abrasion or corrosion, withstand
elevated temperatures or perform under adverse or special circumstances. |
|
| Mesh -or- Opening |
| The mesh count (number of openings per linear inch) or
the desired opening (clear space between adjacent parallel wires) should
be determined by considering the factors of required opening size and
screen open area. |
|
| Open Area |
| When screening, sizing, sorting or sifting material, the amount of
available "Open Area" of the wire cloth or screen is a significant
factor in obtaining optimum screening
efficiency. |
| The relationship between "open area" and "wire diameter" determines
the screening efficiency and the screen wear life. |
| A smaller wire diameter provides greater open area, providing
increased throughput over a reduced screen life. |
A larger wire diameter in relation to the opening
size typically provides longer
screen life, although open area is reduced proportionately.
To obtain optimum screening efficiency, balance the factor of open area
against the wire diameter that will provide adequate life. |
|
| Roll Length |
| The standard woven wire roll length is 100'
(30.48 m) although shorter or longer rolls can be provided. |
|
| If you prefer, wire cloth can be provided in panels rather than in
roll form. Panels may be produced by cutting existing roll stock to the
desired length or cut to length during the weaving process. |
| |
| Roll Width |
| Standard roll widths are 36" 48" and 60". |
Wider specifications may be woven to order.
Narrower specifications may be slit directly on the loom or as a
secondary operation from existing roll stock. |
