In the tradition of Samscreen’s hugely successful Kleenskreen™ self cleaning finger deck solution comes Samscreen’s MAX-S, MAX-V and MAX-D shaped wire screens.

Non-woven Shaped Wire Screens offer tighter specification control

When dealing with the dual problems of blinding and pegging and use of Samscreen’s piano wire screens is not feasible due to ‘flats’ or tight specifications, shaped wire screens offers the solution and advantages of producing tighter specifications and having the ability to self clean.

Piano wire and shaped wire screens are classified as non-woven wire screens and offer unique benefits and solutions because they are not woven. They are in fact a collection of individual wires, which allows each wire to act independently of each other, setting up its own harmonics and frequency, which, in turn, prevents the material being screened from ‘bridging’ from wire to wire, which is the necessary starting condition for ‘blinding’. (Think of strumming a guitar, each wire is moving which makes the surface fluid and dynamic)

The “MAX-S” pattern shaped wire screen is essentially a piano wire screens with each wire being crimped. During the material stratification process, a phenomenon occurs where the long dimension of ‘flats’ (generally defined as the largest dimension of a particle being 3X greater than the narrow dimension) align themselves with the direction of material flow. The crimping of the wire prevents the ‘flats’ from passing.

• Offers a high percentage of open area but less than piano wire screens
• Offers tighter specification control than piano wire screens, but less production
• Poured Polyurethane cross strips which will not separate during use
• Offered in End Tensioned or Side Tensioned panels
• Actually made using Premium Grade Music Wire (developed for harmonics and vibration and also offering higher tensile and wear resistance than oil tempered or high carbon wires)

The “MAX-D” pattern shaped wire screen is a hybrid of a piano wire screens and a woven screen. It has the same self cleaning ability as pianowire but enables the producer to make spec material, normally only obtainable to those who screen with 2 dimensional screening media.

• Offers the ability to produce spec product with self cleaning action
• Offered in End Tensioned or Side Tensioned panels
• Poured Polyurethane cross strips which will not separate during use
• Actually made using Premium Grade Music Wire (developed for harmonics and vibration and also offering higher tensile and wear resistance than oil tempered or high carbon wires)
