Self Cleaning Slot Wire Mesh Panel 304 SS 1480x1220mm 2mm Aperture 1.5mm Wire for Sticky Ore Screening

304 Stainless Steel Slot Wire Mesh Mining Screen Panel - 1480 x 1220 mm, 2 mm Opening, 1.5 mm Wire

This slot wire mesh panel is woven from 1.5 mm stainless steel 304 wire with a 2 mm opening, producing a long slot aperture that lets near-size particles pass through while the wire crown keeps the deck open. The 1480 x 1220 mm panel is finished with an edge tension side so the screen can be pulled tight on the deck of a vibrating screen and hold uniform tension across the whole working area.

Key Features

• Slot aperture geometry opens a longer passage than a square opening of the same width, so sticky or damp feed passes instead of pegging the mesh
• Self-cleaning action: the slotted weave vibrates independently of the deck and releases lodged particles back into the flow
• Stainless steel 304 wire resists corrosion, abrasion and acidic wash water, giving a long service life in wet screening circuits
• Edge tension side with a hooked tension edge for quick installation and even tensioning on standard vibrating screen decks
• Pre-crimped slot weave keeps every aperture dimensionally locked, so the 2 mm opening stays within +/- 0.05 mm across the panel
• Open area of approx. 33% supports high throughput with a low pressure drop
• Available in custom apertures, wire diameters and panel sizes to match existing screen decks

Technical Specifications

Why Slot Geometry Reduces Blinding

Near-size particles that would bridge a square opening can rotate and drop through the elongated slot, which is the main reason slot wire mesh outperforms plain square weave on damp or flaky feed. Combined with the 1.5 mm wire crown and the edge tension side, the panel keeps a stable open area through the whole shift, cutting manual deck cleaning and downtime. Stainless steel 304 construction also allows wash water and mildly acidic slurry without the rapid rust-through seen on mild steel screens.

Typical Applications

• Mining and quarry sizing of crushed stone, ore and aggregate
• Coal preparation plants, desliming and media recovery
• Sand and gravel washing where sticky clay blinds conventional square mesh
• Fertiliser, salt and other hygroscopic bulk material grading
• Wet dewatering duties where corrosion resistance is required

Packing & Delivery

Each panel is wrapped in waterproof paper, interleaved with foam protection, and stacked in an export-grade wooden crate secured with steel strapping. Panels are stacked face to face to protect the tension hooks during sea freight.
