increasing the overall quality of the screened product.

Following are a few reasons to consider high performance screen media. Prolong wear life Most types of specialised screen media offer a much longer wear life than

Standard woven wire is often the cheapest option at first sight, but that’s no reason for these alternative options to be passed over without careful consideration. Depending on the application, these innovative products can improve wear life; reduce pegging
