How to Choose the Right Screen Material for Production Needs

1. Material Characteristics

1.1 Particle Size

Large/Hard Materials (e.g., ores, coal): Opt for high-strength, wear-resistant materials like stainless steel or manganese steel screens.

Fine Materials (e.g., flour, pharmaceutical powders): Use fine-wire, high-precision materials such as stainless steel woven mesh or nylon screens.

1.2 Humidity

Wet/Sticky Materials: Choose smooth, anti-clogging materials like polyurethane screens or stainless steel mesh (easy to clean).

High-Moisture Slurries: Stainless steel screens are ideal due to corrosion resistance.

1.3 Chemical Properties

Corrosive Materials (e.g., acids/alkalis): Use polypropylene (PP), PTFE plastic screens, or 316L stainless steel (high molybdenum content).

2. Screening Requirements

2.1 Precision

High-Precision Screening (e.g., electronics, food additives): Stainless steel woven mesh or electroformed nickel mesh ensures uniform aperture stability.

2.2 Efficiency

High Open-Area Screens (e.g., polyurethane): Enhance material flow for faster screening.

3. Working Environment

3.1 Temperature

High-Temperature Applications (e.g., metallurgy): Use heat-resistant stainless steel or ceramic fiber screens.

Low-Temperature Conditions: Prioritize materials with low-temperature toughness.

3.2 Vibration Frequency

High-Frequency Vibratory Screens: Select fatigue-resistant materials like stainless steel spring wire mesh.

4. Cost Considerations

4.1 Initial Cost

Metal Screens (e.g., stainless steel) are pricier, while plastic screens (e.g., nylon) are budget-friendly.

4.2 Lifespan

Polyurethane Screens: Higher upfront cost but superior wear resistance and longevity, reducing long-term replacement costs
