Perforated Plate & Wire Mesh for S. Howes Equipment
Perforated Metal Sheet – metallic plate with punched holes

S. Howes Machines:

  • Shakers
  • knife cutters
  • power grateres
  • scourers


(virtually any size and shape available)
Materials of construction:
  • Stainless steel
  • Carbon Steel
  • Other metals (e.g. zinc, brass

Advantages:

 
  • Sheet metal is more durable than mesh
  • Perforations can be made in different shapes to accommodate the particles and provide more precise cut size
  • S. Howes unique border design provides mechanical strength while providing higher level of sanitation as there are no perforations for material to become trapped in.
  • S. Howes manufactured –CNC controlled in-house punch press
Limitations:
  • Limited throughput capacity when compared with mesh

S. Howes Machines:

  • Sifters
  • shakers
  • Grain cleaners

 

Mesh or Wedge Wire Screens - wire like material woven together to create uniform opening size holes. Wedge wire screens available for abrasive or pressurized applications.

Materials of construction :

  • Stainless steel - Carbon steel
  • Nylon - Polyester
  • Other - Wedge wire

Advantages:

  • High percentage open area of screen allows higher throughput capacity than perforated plate \ smaller size machine
  • Finer hole size and particle separation than perforated plate

 

Limitations:

  • Subject to tears from sharp objects and mishandling
  • More subject to blinding of screens
