Perforated metals >
Applications
The uses of perforated products vast and in varied industries. They are
used in the screening of coal, coke, gravel and ore; in the shifting and
separation of food products, fine chemicals and oil; in controlling of
the passage of air, heat, sound waves and electromagnetic waves. They
can also be decorative as well as functional, as in their use for radiators
guards, ceiling, wall and window panels, litter bins, etc. and consumer
appliances such as microwaves, speakers, washing machines and others.
Uses of Perforated Metals:
- Sound Abatement
- Filtration (Screens)
- Mining and Aggregate (Perforated Plate)
- Scalping and Sizing (Perforated Screens)
- Architectural Applications
- Hammermill Screens
- Dispersion Heat & Air Flow
- Security/Protection Screens
- Conveyor & Dryer Flights
| Advantages
of Perforated Screens Vs. Wire Mesh/ Cloth |
|
There are many advantages of using perforated products verses traditional
wire mesh. A few of them are:
|
|
Extended Life
|
The perforated screens
are made of strong alloyed metals which are resistant to wear and
tear. Also wear resulting from rubbing of wires together in mesh is
absent. |
|
Fewer Stoppages in Production
|
As there are fewer changes of the
perforation screens, the production is quicker with less down time. |
|
Less Maintenance
|
In metal perforated screens there
no stretching and thus no re-tensioning required. |
|
Better Support Frame
|
As the design of perforated screens
is customizable, blank areas can be designedto form a protective
support frame. |
|
Choice of Design
|
The perforated screens can be designedin any shape and arrangement as required. |
|
More Open Area
|
Perforated screens can have more
open area than wire mesh resulting in better screening efficiency. |
|
Less Blockages
|
Perforated screens block and plug
less than wire meshes resulting in smoother screening. |
|
Accuracy of Size
|
For screening purposes, the accuracy
of the size is maintained as the perforated sheet's holes do not move
as in wire cloth, increasing or decreasing the size. |
