EXTRUDER SCREENS

WIRE CLOTH MANufacturers offers the finest wire mesh for your filtration extrusion needs.  Single screens can be made in many different shapes such as round, oval, rectangular, square or custom shapes.  Multi-layer screens, also known as screen packs, have several layers of wire mesh held in place by precision welds. The layers of wire mesh reduce downtime in manufacturing practices and also allow for a longer lifetime of the material.

For something that can handle heavier pressure in a manufacturing operation, WIRE CLOTH MAN has bound screen packs. Bound screen packs are perfect for those in need of a heavier duty extruder screen. Rim-bound screen packs are layers of wire mesh, similar to extruder screens. With rim-bound screens, however, the material is held together by an aluminum or steel ring instead of by a weld.

Wire mesh extruder screens are typically made from high-quality stainless steel wire that is woven into a mesh pattern. The wire mesh is then formed into a circular or cylindrical shape and attached to a support frame. The mesh size and pattern can vary depending on the specific requirements of the application.The purpose of the wire mesh extruder screen is to filter out contaminants and impurities from the molten material, which can cause defects or inconsistencies in the final product. The screen helps to ensure a smooth and consistent flow of material through the extruder, which is essential for creating high-quality products.

Wire mesh extruder screens offer several advantages over other types of filter media. They are durable and long-lasting, and can withstand the high temperatures and pressure found in extrusion processes. They can be cleaned and reused multiple times, which makes them a cost-effective solution for long-term use.Overall, wire mesh extruder screens are a reliable and effective solution for filtering molten materials in the plastics and rubber processing industries. They help to ensure the quality and consistency of the final product, and can help to prevent defects and inconsistencies caused by impurities and contaminants.
