When it comes to screening aggregate materials, choosing the right screen alloy is crucial. The material you’re processing will directly impact the performance and longevity of your screens, so selecting the appropriate screen alloy is essential for maximizing efficiency and profitability.

Different aggregates have unique characteristics, and not all screen alloys are suitable for every application. For example, using high carbon steel screens to process materials under wet conditions might not always be the best choice. High carbon steel is durable, but it can be prone to sticking when exposed to moisture, leading to clogging and reduced efficiency. In such cases, stainless steel might be a better option, as it’s resistant to corrosion and performs well in wet environments.

It’s also important to consider the weight and abrasiveness of the material you’re screening. Heavier and more abrasive materials may require thicker wires to withstand the wear and tear, while lighter or less abrasive materials can be effectively screened with thinner wires. The level of corrosiveness of the material should also factor into your decision. For corrosive environments, stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant alloys are preferable to ensure a longer screen life.
