Every ScreenerKing product is manufactured at our facility in Houston, Texas. We control the entire process from raw material sourcing through final inspection and shipping. This page walks you through how we build the replacement screens and vibratory screening equipment that thousands of operations rely on every day.
Replacement Screen Manufacturing
Step 1: Material Sourcing
We source woven stainless steel wire mesh from qualified suppliers who provide material certifications for every lot. Our standard materials are 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel, and T-430 stainless steel. Every mesh lot is verified against ASTM specifications for alloy composition, wire diameter, and mesh opening tolerances before it enters production.
Step 2: Frame Fabrication
Screen frames are fabricated from stainless steel to match the dimensional specifications of each target separator brand and model. Frames are machined or formed to precise outside diameter, inside diameter, and ring height tolerances that ensure drop-in fit on the target equipment. We maintain frame specifications for Sweco, Kason, Midwestern Industries, Cleveland Vibratory, Russell Finex, Rotex, and other OEM brands.
Step 3: Mesh Cutting and Tensioning
Woven wire mesh is cut to size for each screen diameter with appropriate overhang for bonding. The mesh is tensioned across the frame to produce a taut, flat screening surface. Proper tension is critical—too loose and the mesh sags, reducing screening efficiency; too tight and the mesh is stressed, reducing screen life. Our tensioning process is calibrated for each mesh size to achieve optimal tension.
Step 4: Bonding
The tensioned mesh is bonded to the frame ring using industrial-grade epoxy specifically formulated for vibratory screening applications. The epoxy creates a permanent, vibration-resistant seal that maintains mesh tension throughout the screen's service life. For food and pharmaceutical applications, we use FDA-compliant bonding materials.
Step 5: Curing
Bonded screens are cured under controlled conditions to achieve full epoxy strength before inspection. Proper curing ensures the bond withstands the continuous vibration, material impact, and cleaning cycles that screens experience in service.
Step 6: Inspection
Every finished screen is individually inspected before it leaves our facility. Our inspection process checks mesh accuracy (correct mesh count and opening size), frame dimensions (OD, ID, ring height), bond integrity (no gaps, bubbles, or weak spots), mesh tension (flat, taut surface), and overall workmanship. Screens that do not pass inspection are rejected. We do not ship seconds or B-grade screens.
Screener Unit Manufacturing
ScreenerKing vibratory screener units—the SiftPro 18, SiftPro 24, SiftPro 30, SiftPro 48, and SiftPro 60—are manufactured at our Houston facility using stainless steel construction throughout. Each unit is assembled, tested, and inspected before delivery. Key manufacturing steps include frame welding, surface finishing, motor installation and balancing, clamping system assembly, and operational testing under load.
Quality Documentation
ScreenerKing provides material certifications and dimensional documentation with every order. For regulated industries including food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical, we supply the documentation needed to support your equipment qualification and compliance files.
