Pre-Tensioned Screens Meet the Requirements
For Precise Material Processing
W.S. TYLER®, known for developing industrial screening products for challenging applications, manufactures Pre-Tensioned Screens for pharmaceutical processing. The screens are ideal for OEM's round and square sifters, rotating screeners, and some vibrating screens which require the screening media to be pre-tensioned prior to installation.
W.S. Tyler's new, state-of-the-art Pre-Tension Manufacturing Work Station has the capacity to tension woven wire mesh from 16" to 72" round and square frame screens. Frames can be screened beginning at 4 mesh 0.050" wire diameter, down through 500 mesh, 0.0010" wire diameter.
W.S. Tyler can also re-screen customer supplied frames and OEM replacement screens.
