What Are Aggregate Screens?

Aggregate screens are critical components used to filter and separate different materials, such as gravel, sand, and minerals.

At ScreenerKing, we offer custom-designed screens to fit your exact specifications, ensuring peak performance for your operations.

How to Complete Your Custom Quote Form

We’ve made it easy to request a custom quote for aggregate screens. Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure you provide all the information we need to create the perfect screen for your operation.

1. Machine Information

Provide the Make and Model of your equipment. This ensures that we match the screen to your machine’s specifications, preventing fit issues that could disrupt your operations.

2. Quantity

Tell us the number of screens you need. Whether you’re placing a bulk order or just need a few replacements, we’re equipped to fulfill your request efficiently.

3. Mesh Type

Mesh refers to the number of openings per inch on your screen. It’s essential to choose the right mesh size to ensure optimal separation and sorting of materials.

  • How to Measure Mesh: Count the number of openings from the center of one wire to a point one inch away.

Clear Opening refers to the space between the wires. This can be provided as a fractional or decimal measurement. Accurate measurements are crucial for efficient material flow.

4. Slotted vs. Non-Slotted Openings

  • Is the Opening Slotted?
    • Yes: If the screen has long, rectangular slots.
    • No: If the openings are square or round holes.
    • Not Sure: Our team can guide you through this step if needed.

Pro Tip: Slotted openings are excellent for materials that tend to clog, as they provide better flow and reduce the likelihood of blockages.


Slotted Opening Orientation: If your screen has slotted openings, it’s essential to specify the orientation to ensure proper screen fit and function.

5. Wire Diameter

The wire diameter affects the durability and performance of your screen. Thicker wires offer greater strength for heavy-duty applications, while thinner wires provide better flexibility and material flow. If you’re unsure about the best option for your operation, our team is here to help.

6. Screen Dimensions

  • Width: Measure the width of the screen panel from outside the hook on one side to the outside of the hook on the other.
  • Length: Measure the total length of the screen from end to end, excluding any hooks or bends.

Accurate dimensions are key to ensuring the screen fits your equipment perfectly, avoiding unnecessary downtime or adjustments.

Pro Tip: Always double-check your measurements to prevent delays in installation and operation.

7. Material Selection

Choose the material for your screen based on your working conditions:

  • High Carbon Steel: Best for handling abrasive, dry materials such as gravel and sand.
  • Stainless Steel: Ideal for wet or corrosive environments, where durability and resistance to rust are critical.

8. Hook Type Selection

Choosing the correct hook type ensures your screen is securely fastened and functions efficiently:

  • CWA1: A versatile, general-purpose hook offering stability for most applications.
  • CWA9: Provides higher tension, ideal for heavier-duty operations.
  • CWA3: Designed for lighter applications, offering flexibility without compromising durability.

Pro Tip: The right hook type can extend the lifespan of your screen and improve operational efficiency. If you're uncertain, contact us for expert advice.

9. Special Features for Enhanced Performance

  • Non-Blinding Weave: This self-cleaning feature allows the wires to vibrate independently, reducing material buildup and preventing clogs. It’s perfect for operations that handle sticky or wet materials.

  • Urethane Coating: Boosts the durability of your screen, extending its lifespan in high-wear applications. However, urethane is not recommended for use in high-heat environments, such as asphalt production.
