Fabricated Edge Screens
Compass Wire Cloth produces replacement screens to fit all vibratory separators. Used to separate solids from liquids or segregate dry material into various sizes, these screens are fabricated to ensure maximum screen life through efficient product performance.
Our diverse product line is comprised of 5 types of edging:
Bonded Edge
Made of natural cotton webbing coated with heat-activated adhesive, bonded-edged screens are a U-binded tape that is heat-sealed for optimum edge life. This tape was developed specifically for food grade applications and has been approved for indirect contact, but is used in many other industries as well. It’s the most economical edge preparation and has an operating temperature of up to 300°F. Sewing is available on request.
High-temperature Edge - Nomex®
Our black high-temperature Nomex® bonding tape is a U-bind construction and heat sealed. It is specially formulated for processing material at very high operating temperatures, up to 600°F.
Polyester Edge
Polyester edges allow for permanent adhesion to these synthetics; the edge becomes an integral part of the screen without the need for sewing. This edging is a U-bind product, and is specifically designed for adhering to both polyester and nylon woven wire cloth.
Vinyl Edge
Vinyl edged screens are washable, FDA-approved, and bacteria-proof. They are recommended especially for processing applications where sanitary requirements are a high priority.
Metal Edge
Where a heavier application is required, this edge is readily available in multiple alloys: mild steel, stainless steel and galvanized steel alloys. Metal edges are generally used for scalping or ball support.
