Self-cleaning screen media was initially designed to solve issues such as blinding, clogging, and pegging. The idea was to place crimped wires side by side on a flat surface, creating openings and securing them over support bars. This allowed the wires to vibrate freely between the support bars, preventing blockages. Initially, crimped longitudinal wires were held together with woven wire over the support bars.
Today, self-cleaning screens have evolved to include polyurethane strips, replacing the woven cross wires. These polyurethane strips reduce vibration of the longitudinal wires over the support bars without stopping it, allowing vibration from hook to hook.
This product not only offers high performance but also solves problems. The independent vibrating wires result in higher throughput compared to woven wire cloth with the same aperture and wire diameter. This increased throughput is due to the higher vibration frequency of each independent wire, which accelerates material stratification. Additionally, hybrid self-cleaning screen media provides a higher open area percentage than woven wire screens, using smaller wire diameters for the same aperture and still offering the same durability.
