Shaker Screens Industrial Vibratory Sieving & Separation Solutions

Rowe Equipment specializes in shaker screens – precision-manufactured vibratory screening media for industrial sieving, separation, and classification applications. Our high-quality screens deliver accurate particle sizing, contamination removal, and product grading across polymers, food processing, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, ceramics, metals, mining, pulp & paper, and abrasive material processing industries.

Available in circular diameters from 18″ to 72″ plus square and rectangular configurations, Rowe Equipment shaker screens are manufactured using premium mesh materials with multiple bonding options including epoxy bonding, spot welding, and center hole construction. We offer both new screens built to exact specifications and cost-effective reconditioned screens that restore OEM performance at reduced cost.

Our Products

Product Types & Specifications

Epoxy Bonded Shaker Screens

Multiple layers of precision mesh securely bonded to outer support ring using industrial-grade epoxy adhesives. Excellent screen integrity for moderate-duty applications with good chemical resistance and smooth bonding surface.

Spot Welded Shaker Screens

Top retention ring positioned over mesh layers and electronically resistance welded to outer support ring. Superior mechanical strength for heavy-duty applications, excellent durability under high-vibration conditions.

Center Hole Shaker Screens

Sheet metal rings and protective gaskets spot welded together through center of screen assembly. Ideal for large-diameter screens and high-throughput applications requiring additional structural strength.

Multilayer Bonded Screens

Multiple mesh layers of varying aperture sizes bonded together for progressive filtration and extended screen life. Coarser backing mesh supports finer working mesh, allowing finer separations.

Single Piece Hook Screens

One-piece construction with integrated mounting hooks for quick installation and removal. Designed for equipment requiring frequent screen changes, reducing changeover time while maintaining precise fit.

Reconditioned Shaker Screens

Cost-effective alternative featuring replacement mesh professionally installed on cleaned and inspected original frames. Restore OEM performance specifications at 40-60% of new screen cost.

Shaker Screens Applications

Selection Guide

Key factors to consider when specifying shaker screens for your vibratory separation equipment:

Equipment Specifications:
Identify your separator manufacturer, model, and screen frame dimensions—Rowe Equipment manufactures screens for Rotex, Sweco, Russell, Kason, and virtually all other vibratory separator brands
Material Characteristics:
Consider particle size distribution, bulk density, moisture content, abrasiveness, and flow properties—these factors determine optimal mesh type, aperture size, and screen construction method
Mesh Size & Aperture:
Select mesh count and wire diameter to achieve desired cut point and separation accuracy—all standard and specialty mesh sizes available in market grade or tension bolt cloth (TBC) configurations
Construction Method:
Choose epoxy bonding for chemical resistance, spot welding for heavy-duty durability, or center hole construction for large-diameter applications requiring additional structural support
Material of Construction:
Stainless steel for food, pharmaceutical, and corrosive environments; carbon steel for general industrial applications; specialty alloys for extreme temperature or chemical exposure
New vs. Reconditioned:
New screens provide guaranteed OEM performance; reconditioned screens offer significant cost savings (40-60%) while restoring original specifications—both options available for most screen types and sizes

Frequently Asked Questions

What mesh sizes are available for shaker screens?

Rowe Equipment offers the complete range of industrial mesh sizes, from coarse scalping screens with large apertures down to fine powder sieving mesh capable of separations to 25 microns. Both market grade and tension bolt cloth (TBC) configurations are available. Our technical team can recommend the optimal mesh specification based on your separation requirements, throughput goals, and material characteristics. Use our mesh size and micron calculator for technical conversions.

What is the difference between epoxy bonded and spot welded screens?

Epoxy bonded screens use industrial adhesives to secure mesh to the support frame—they’re ideal for moderate-duty applications and offer good chemical resistance. Spot welded screens use electronic resistance welding for a mechanical bond that provides superior strength and durability under heavy vibration and with abrasive materials. Your application’s demands should guide the construction choice. Our screen construction advisor can help you select the optimal method.

How do I determine the correct screen size for my equipment?

Screen size is determined by your separator’s frame dimensions. Measure your existing screen or provide equipment manufacturer, model number, and frame specifications. Rowe Equipment maintains dimensional data for most major separator brands including Rotex, Sweco, Russell, and Kason and can provide exact-fit replacement screens. Our separator screen cross-reference tool can help you quickly find the correct specifications.

What are mesh cleaning balls and when should I use them?

Mesh cleaning balls (also called bounce balls or anti-blinding balls) are placed beneath the screen mesh to prevent blinding—the buildup of near-size particles that clog screen apertures. As the separator vibrates, the balls bounce against the mesh underside, dislodging stuck particles and maintaining open area. They’re essential for materials prone to mesh plugging, especially fine powders and sticky materials. Our screen blinding troubleshooter can help diagnose if cleaning balls would benefit your operation.

Can screens be reconditioned, and is quality comparable to new?

Yes, most shaker screen frames can be professionally reconditioned with new mesh. The original frame is cleaned, inspected for damage, and fitted with fresh screening media using proper bonding or welding methods. When properly reconditioned, screens perform to OEM specifications at 40-60% of new screen cost. Reconditioning is ideal for operations looking to reduce consumable costs without sacrificing screening quality. Our new vs. reconditioned calculator can show your potential savings.
