Product Selection Differences for Woven Wire Screens

When selecting woven wire screens, there are several key differences to consider:

1. Mesh Size: The mesh size refers to the number of openings per linear inch. Finer mesh sizes provide better filtration but may be more prone to clogging, while larger mesh sizes allow for higher throughput but may have reduced precision.

2. Wire Diameter: The thickness of the wire used in the screen impacts its durability and capacity to withstand abrasion and impact. Thicker wires are more durable but may reduce the screening area, while thinner wires provide higher throughput but are less durable.

3. Material: Different materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum, or high carbon steel, offer varying levels of corrosion resistance, strength, and temperature resistance. Select the material based on the specific application requirements.

4. Weave Type: The weave pattern, such as plain weave, twill weave, or Dutch weave, influences the strength, open area, and screening performance of the wire screen. Each weave type has its unique characteristics suited for various applications.

5. Tensioning Method: How the wire screen is tensioned onto the frame affects its stability and screening efficiency. Tensioning methods may include hooks, bolts, or clamps, and the appropriate method should be selected based on the application requirements.

6. Aperture Shape: The shape of the openings in the wire screen, such as square, rectangular, or slotted, influences the particle size separation and the flow characteristics of the material being screened.

By considering these key differences in woven wire screens, you can select the most suitable option for your specific industry needs.
