More robust than wire cloth, but not as expensive as rubber or urethane, Durex perforated and flame-cut plate screens are ideal for high-impact and heavy-abrasion applications. Manufactured from high-quality steel alloy plates (250-500 BHN), they feature square, round, slotted, or hexagonal perforations of various sizes. Perforated plate typically has formed edges, with openings of 1-in or less mechanically punched into the plate. These screens work well where deck weight is a factor. Flame-cut plate screens feature openings that are cut into the plate. Available as side-tensioned or bolt-down, these screens are excellent for impact and abrasion resistance in top- and middle-deck applications.
