Cleveland Wire Cloth | Fabrication Capabilities
Material and Design for Industrial Strainer Screen Applications
Custom Built to your requirements
Cleveland individualizes strainers to customers' design or we design a strainer to fit specific requirements. Whether you need strainer screen alone, or completely fabricated elements with hardware, (bindings, frames, fittings, adaptors, etc.) attached, Cleveland's facilities are equipped to produce one or a carload of custom designed screens for all industrial or O.E.M. applications including air, steam, or hydraulic processes. For complete strainer elements, either we or the customer can provide the hardware. Final assembly, including seam closure, can be welded, soldered, riveted, clinched, etc. Our modern production facilities include electronic welding, soldering, stamping, rolling, folding, seaming, brazing, with particular attention being given to the finish desired.
Woven Wire Strainer Screens
Woven wire is the most popular material used in the manufacture of modern strainer screens. This is partly due to its inherent characteristics -- high percentage of open area and roundness -- which favor high flow and are ideal for flow pattern. Other reasons for woven wire popularity include its high strength and its ability to withstand extreme temperature variations, corrosive environments and vibration.Woven screens find their greatest use in low and medium pressure applications. In high pressure service, the fine mesh screen may be supported by a coarse backing screen.
Strainer Screen Meshes and Weaves
Plain weave screens ranging from .0008" openings upward represent the bulk of strainer applications. For high pressures or heavy loads, twilled weaves or corduroy type weaves are available.Filter screening, using aids, usually range from 60 to 100 mesh screens. In this service, twilled weaves or corduroy cloths are usually recommended.
