All Elgin profiles are cold shaped to exacting tolerances for width, height, relief, hardness and tensile. Nothing less than our rigid standards are acceptable during the shaping process.
Advantages
Unlike punch plate or woven wire, profile wire screens offer 2-point particle contact. The continual slots and inward widening openings allow for less plugging of near size particles.
Construction
To ensure the strongest weld possible, we use continuously controlled TIG welding to connect the profile wires to the support bars.
Support Bars
Size, shape and spacing of the support bars depends on the application and loading conditions the screen will be subjected to. Round, square, triangular or rectangular are common.
