A wire screen is used to separate materials by size. Welding the edges extends the service life of the wire screen.

In a busy recycling plant, a crucial piece of equipment was in operation: the wire screen. This enormous grid separated materials such as sand, gravel and wood waste, which are essential for the reuse of raw materials. After years of intensive use, the wires of the screen began to wear out, leading to inefficiencies in the separation process.

This is where welding came into play. The worn areas on the screen deck were expertly welded, restoring the wires to their original strength. This not only extended the service life of the screen deck but also ensured that the machine functioned optimally once again. The repaired wire screens were once again able to handle heavy loads without allowing any material to escape.

Thanks to the welding repairs, the factory did not need to purchase expensive replacements. This process of repair and reinforcement restored the wire screen to its role as a reliable link in the recycling chain, ready for many years of service.
