Material & corrosion resistance
S304 (30408) stainless steel, non-magnetic, is specified for weak-acid, seawater and long-term anti-rust service. For continuously wet operating conditions, 304L low-carbon stainless steel is available to help reduce the risk of intergranular corrosion.
Weave options
- Plain weave: the most versatile option, 1–635 mesh; preferred for mining particle screening.
- Twill weave: a denser structure, 40–400 mesh; suitable for fine-powder filtration.
- Crimped weave: heavier wire and larger apertures for wear and impact resistance; the core choice for vibrating screens handling large mining material.
Common vibrating-screen mesh guide
8 mesh: 2.36 mm aperture / 0.56 mm wire · 10 mesh: 2.0 mm / 0.50 mm · 20 mesh: 0.85 mm / 0.35 mm · 40 mesh: 0.45 mm / 0.22 mm · 60 mesh: 0.25 mm / 0.18 mm.
Standard supply
Widths: 1 m or 1.2 m. Roll lengths: 10 m or 30 m. PUBAI can also supply cut sheets, edge binding and finished framed screen panels.
Applications
Mining vibrating screens for sand, aggregate and ore classification; dewatering screening; food, pharmaceutical and chemical powder filtration; and mud, wastewater and oil filtration.
Selection & quality assurance
For high-wear vibrating-screen duties, choose crimped weave with a heavier wire diameter to resist tensile load and impact. Material spectrum reports are available to distinguish S304 from lower-cost 201 stainless steel.
