Why Tension Matters

How Pretensioned Screens Improve Screening

A pretensioned screen has its mesh stretched to an even tension before it is bonded to the frame. We tension both metal and synthetic wire cloth evenly and secure it by epoxy or spot welding, so the screen surface stays flat and tight on the vibrating screen deck.

Tighter, more uniform tension gives better screen performance: higher throughput and better particle size control. Our round and pretensioned screens are produced in a temperature controlled environment to fit all OEM equipment, and improved adhesives help the mesh stay bonded to the frame.

We build them with the screening media your separation needs, in stainless steel or synthetic mesh.

Warning Signs

Signs Your Screens Need Re-Tensioning

  • Mesh sagging or drumming loosely

  • Lower throughput than normal

  • Oversize particles passing through

  • Mesh lifting from the frame bond

  • Tears or wear in the screen surface

Re-Screening

Re-Screening Services for Adhesive Bonded Frames

Do not throw out a good frame because the mesh is worn. We have precision power stretching equipment capable of re-screening most Great Western, Sweco, Kason and other adhesive bonded frames. The mesh is stretched to an even tension, bonded with improved adhesives, and returned ready to install.

Most frames up to 4 ft x 4 ft in stock synthetic or stainless steel mesh are completed in one day, all in house, so your screener is back in service with minimal downtime.

A pretensioned screen is a sifter screen whose wire cloth or synthetic mesh is stretched to an even tension and then bonded to the frame, so it arrives ready to install. American Fabric Filter tensions metal and synthetic wire cloth evenly and secures it by epoxy or spot welding.

Tighter, more uniform tension gives better screen performance, increasing throughput and improving particle size control. A loose or uneven screen can sag, wear faster and pass product that should be separated.
