Screens for sizing and straining can be furnished with any style of
edge preparation or hook strip, ready for installation into any type
equipment. Often the edges of screens of woven of heavier than .250"
are fabricated to hook on to the vibrating frame. however, most
screens made of .250" and lighter wire have a hook strip supporting the
edges. Absolutely square hook strips enable screens to be kept under
greater, more uniform tension. This protects them against distortion
and excessive vibration which causes metal fatigue and breakage
.applications in a wide range of industries, including food
processing, chemical, paper, coal, clay, and metal mining. Used for
dewatering, washing, sizing, scalping, and more. Also widely used on
shale shakers for reclaiming drilling mud.
