SHAKER SCREENS:
The flowMAX R™ screens consist of two layers of durable rectangle opening wire cloth above a heavy support cloth. The de-blinding characteristics of the three layer mesh configuration allows for better flow rate efficiency. The light weight frame allows for less screen flexing and more g-force transfer between screen and shaker basket. The diamond shaped openings in the screen frame prevent liquid channeling by distributing the flow evenly across the screen surface. The FMR series screen is manufactured using the powder coating adhesive process.
• Advantages: resistant to blinding, long life, consistent volume handling, all purpose screens
• Disadvantages: none
The floMAX S™ series screens are standard screen panels that utilize a perforated support plate for added mesh support and reparability. The FMS series of screens are manufactured using fine square mesh and are available in mesh sizes from 50 to 250. As with all Fluid Systems, Inc. replacement screen frame panels, each screen is factory tensioned to eliminate improper tensioning in the field.
• Advantages: increased life, excellent support under heavy solids loading, reparability
• Disadvantages: some lost unblocked screening area, higher cost than MFX
The floMAX D™ series screens are de-blinding screen panels that utilize a perforated support plate for added mesh support and reparability. The FMD series of screens are manufactured using ultra fine cloth square mesh and are available in mesh sizes from 24 to 250. As with all Fluid Systems, Inc. replacement screen frame panels, each screen is factory tensioned to eliminate improper tensioning in the field.
• Advantages: resistant to near size particle blinding, increased support under heavy loading, repairable
• Disadvantages: less life than FMS and MFX screens, slightly higher priced than FMS screens
The Hi Cap R (RHC) series screens are manufactured using High Capacity Rectangle mesh above a heavy support mesh. RHC screens allow more liquid throughput due to the long rectangle openings of the wire cloth. Each screen is manufactured using the powder coating adhesive process.
• Advantages: high conductance, long life, excellent support under heavy loading
• Disadvantages: sometimes prone to near sized particle blinding, most expensive
