What is a shaker screen?

Mesh wire simply refers to the material used to create Wire Mesh. Though it may seem simple, many customers would like to know more about the details and process. Below discover takeaways about Mesh Wire and how it has become one of the most popular metal products in the world.

Key Factors:

• Material: Mesh Wire is available in various grades of metals & alloys such as Stainless Steel, Aluminum, and Brass.
• Wire Diameter: We typically carry .063&#; to .250&#;. These heavier gauges provide a good product with a medium to large size opening.

To begin, the mill melts and blends together quality raw materials to accurately produce precision grades of metals. Like a recipe, each grade uses a precise measurement of ingredients (in this case base metals) to create the final product with an identifying heat number. This classification is for traceability purposes to state certain elements within a specific batch. Finally, products such as sheet metal, bands, bars, rods, and especially wire coils in specific diameters can be produced.

Next Steps&#;

We feed the wire coil through a machine that straightens, crimps (if required), and accurately cuts lengths (warps) and widths (shutes).

For woven constructions, the straightened wire passes between toothed wheels forming a specific crimp profile. After cutting, the material is then set up in our looms ready to weave.

Alternatively, Welded Mesh bypasses the crimping process entirely. The straight & cut material is arranged in the machine and welding heads fuse the wire together at each intersection producing the final product.

What is a Shaker Screen?

Shaker Screens (also known as Hooked Screens) are constructed with a hooked edge profile on wire cloth or wire mesh panel. They provide an essential function in the sizing, sifting, and grading process in various industries such as minerals, sand, and agriculture. 

How Do Shaker Screens Work?

Shaker Screens work by vibrating the material to be screened. The vibration causes the material to move across the surface of the screen, separating one medium from another. This includes sizing larger items from smaller ones or solids control. The larger items are collected on the surface of the screen, while the smaller items pass through and are collected in a separate container.

A shaker screen is typically made up of several layers of mesh or wire cloth arranged in a series of decks, with each deck having a progressively finer mesh size. The screens are mounted on a vibrating frame that shakes the material, allowing, for example, a liquid to pass through in solids control equipment while the solids are retained on the screen surface.

Applications of Shaker Screens

Shaker Screens are used in a variety of industries, including:

• Minerals & Mining (i.e., shale shaker)
• Agriculture (i.e., shear pump)
• Waste Management (i.e., sludge vacuum pump)
• Water Treatment
• Oil & Gas (i.e., drilling operations, oil sludge treatment, solids control)

Shaker Screen FAQs 

How much does a shaker screen cost? 

The cost of a Shaker Screen varies depending on the mesh specification, size, and the hook materials required. 

How long can the hooks be? 

Our hook screens can be constructed in all standard widths with lengths up to 120&#; inches. 

Can backing meshes be added? 

Yes, an additional back layer can be added for additional stability. 

What materials are the hooks made of?

Galvanized Steel Stainless Steel

How are the hooks made? 

Flat galvanized or stainless steel is measured and then cut accordingly.  These strips are then formed into a &#;U&#; channel over the mesh edge, pressed in place, and then finally bent to the proper hook profile.
