We usually have three options when choosing vibrating screen mesh, including:
• Vibrating Wire Mesh Screen
• Polyurethane Screen Mesh
• Rubber Vibrating Screen Mesh
Of the above three types of screen mesh, vibrating wire mesh screen has the most open area, averaging about 60% or so, making woven screen mesh the most efficient compared to the other two materials.
Vibrating wire mesh screen has the following advantages:
• Widest range of applications
• Largest open area, wire available in various diameters
• Wires available in 65Mn and stainless steel for both abrasion and corrosion resistance
• Lowest cost of ownership
• Most accurate particle sizing
• Faster installation and quicker changeover for frequent screen changes of different mesh sizes.
However, the more openings a vibrating screen mesh has, the shorter its wear life will be. Therefore, choosing a wire with high quality wear resistance, such as the high grade 65Mn material, will help to extend the life of the vibrating screen mesh and reduce downtime. Users should also strike a balance between wear life and efficiency when choosing screen mesh material for vibrating screens.
Vibrating wire mesh screen is the most commonly used vibrating screen mesh product. In most vibrating screen applications, vibrating wire mesh screen is the preferred choice of most users due to its highest open area and because of its ease of installation, which provides maximum flexibility for screening different sizes of materials.
