Longer service life. Because Johnson screens better resist breaking, wearing or plugging, profitable processing continues longer without frequent shutdowns for maintenance or replacement. Many different wire and rod sizes and shapes are available to meet special process requirements. Sharp edge wires, for example, offer more efficient slurry dewatering. Narrow face width wire creates higher screen open area.
Tall wires increase wear life in abrasive environments and produce a stronger screen as well.
Strength can be further increased by using taller or thicker support bars or rods.
