Slotted 304 Dewatering Screen Deck Panel 1480mm Tension Edge x 1220mm 2mm Slot 1.5mm Wire Mesh

Slotted Stainless Steel 304 Dewatering Screen Panel - 1480 mm Edge Tension Side x 1220 mm, 2 mm Slot, 1.5 mm Wire

This slotted panel is specified for dewatering and sizing stations where the deck has to shed water fast and stay open under a heavy bed load. The 2 mm slot is formed by 1.5 mm stainless steel 304 wire, and the 1480 x 1220 mm panel carries an edge tension side so the screen is drawn flat and tight across the deck, keeping slot width constant under vibration load.

Key Features

• 2 mm slot with 1.5 mm wire gives approx. 33% open area for rapid water drainage and low surface carry-over
• Edge tension side design distributes tension evenly, preventing slot distortion and panel fatigue at the hook line
• Stainless steel 304 wire withstands continuous wet service, mine water and mildly acidic slurry without pitting
• Slotted weave is self-cleaning on dewatering duty, releasing near-size particles instead of blinding the deck
• Pre-crimped slot construction holds aperture tolerance at +/- 0.05 mm panel-wide for repeatable product size
• Pickled and passivated surface reduces contamination risk in mineral processing circuits
• Custom slot widths from 0.5 mm to 12 mm and custom panel frames available for existing decks

Dewatering Performance Notes

On dewatering duty the slot width is the main control on moisture in the product: a 2 mm slot retains the bulk of the solids while the water drains through the 1.5 mm wire crown, and the edge tension side keeps that slot width fixed across the full 1480 mm tension direction. Because stainless steel 304 does not corrode in mine water, open area does not drop off during the campaign, so drainage performance stays flat rather than degrading as it would with mild steel or galvanised panels.

Typical Applications

• Coal and mineral dewatering screens and drain-and-rinse decks
• Heavy media recovery and magnetite recovery screens
• Sand washing and fines dewatering plants
• Ore sizing and product classification ahead of stockpiling
• Industrial effluent and slurry screening where wash water is present

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.
