Resists Premature Delamination – Metal framed screens are made from components that are laminated together by powder-coat paint. This bond is based on the consistency of the powder-coat, how well the metal frame was cleaned, and how well the heat press temperatures were controlled. Composite screens are not laminated. As such, there is no ability for the perforated plate or the wire mesh to prematurely separate from the frame.
Composite Polyurethane Technology – traditional screens are constructed using a rigid steel frame and perforated plate; in which layers of woven wire cloth are bonded with powder-coating. New manufacturing technology has advanced shaker screen construction using composite material with steel reinforcement. These changes increase strength, longevity, and performance.
Improved Handing – Composite screens have less sharp edges that can cut operators when handled. Molded products provide for a cleaner edge and minimize the number of sharp burrs and edges.
