Another Little Trick
FIRSTLY, you should be able to get a MANUFACTURE to accomodate your wish and or need to have a urethane strip layed down both side of the screen BUT,
MAYBE NOT........
as these wirecloth sections are TENSIONED ON THE ENDS vs the sides....a predetermined length of URETHANE would probably be problematic as the screen wires actually MUST BE PULLED, STRETCHED OR TENSIONED to what we call DRUMHEAD TIGHTNESS....to accomplish proper tension and proper screening efficiency.
POSSIBLE PLAN B:
YOU could most likely lay a pices of light gauge STAINLESS STEEL 304, 316, 317L whatever your spec requires for food safety standards, or this pieces could be URETHANE MATERIAL layed from the sideplate, bolted thru affixed to the sides of the inside of the box and layed over the outer edge of the tensioned WIRECLOTH by say 2" to keep the material on the wirecloth vs passing down at the edge.
HOPING THIS squeezes the fines out of the problem. ■
Screening Leakage
Dear All,
We have a problem where material is leaking from the edge of the screens down to our finer products. The screens have hooks at both ends but the sides are open edge. The screener body have two flat pieces welded to support the sides of the screens.
We heard that there are people that does PU coating for sides of the screens. Most of them that I know of is in Europe of the states. Anyone is within the Asia Pacific area?
What would be the best protection for the sides of the screens especially for screening of food products such as sugar, flour or dairy powder. ■
