Why use perforated plate? Consider the advantages:

• Screen Life - special alloyed steel provides wear resistance to outlast any oil-tempered wire cloth.

• Less Down Time - this means fewer change outs during production which are extremely costly.

• Ease of Maintenance - perforated screens will not stretch so no re-tensioning is required during service life of the screen.

• Screen Frame Protection - blanked areas are designed and engineered into perforated to protect screen support frame.

• Greater Choice - round, hexagon, square or slotted; straight or staggered centers; precise, flexible configuration and virtually infinite patter possibilities.

• Wider Material Thickness Range - wide range of thickness for each opening size. Bar width and plate thickness can be separately specified to attain desired open space while maintaining increased wear life.

• Excellent Screening Efficiency - perforations are staggered in direction of flow. The percent of open area of perforated screen plate equals or exceeds the percent of open area in wire cloth in many cases.

• Resistance to Plugging - screen plate features clean walled, conical, closely and uniformly spaced perforations. This results in a minimum of blinding, because material is always passing through a progressively larger opening.

• Maintenance of Sizing Accuracy - since screen plate is a single unit there is no wire movement which would interfere with sizing accuracy as the screen wears through.

• Greater Bulk/Less Breakage - greater effective cross-sectional area compared to wire cloth screen. This translates into greater screen life with no open area reduction.

• Fewer Wear Causes - perforated screen plate and wire cloth wear from material passing over and through the screen. Wire cloth also wears from wires rubbing each other at junction points.

• Greater Strength/Equivalent Weight - perforated screen plate and wire cloth with similar open areas have negligible weight differences.
