The workhorse of any screening machine is the woven wire mesh. In different configurations, these screens are used to filter and separate all kinds of materials. To specify the right screen for the process, you must know four key components: mesh count, wire diameter, opening, and open area percentage. Other considerations include selecting the right material used to make the mesh, from stainless steel to polymer to nylon. (Select "Screening Bad Screening Methods" from the left-hand navigation menu.)
