Finding the right replacement screen for your vibratory separator requires knowing your screener's brand, diameter, frame style, and the mesh specification of your current screen. ScreenerKing supplies replacement screens compatible with all major OEM vibratory separator brands — at competitive prices and with faster delivery than most OEM parts programs.
Use the finder tool below to search by OEM brand and model, or browse the compatibility chart on this page to confirm that ScreenerKing screens fit your equipment before ordering.
How to Identify Your Screener Brand, Size, and Frame Style
Before using the Screen Finder, gather the following information from your screener. This takes about two minutes with the equipment in front of you and saves time on the order.
What Information Do You Need to Order a Replacement Screen?
- OEM brand and model: The nameplate on the motor or frame identifies the manufacturer (Sweco, Kason, Midwestern, etc.) and the model number. Photograph or write down the complete model number — it contains the diameter and sometimes the deck configuration.
- Screen diameter: The nominal diameter of the screen in inches (18, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, or 72 inches for round separators). Measure the outer diameter of the screen frame if the model number is unclear.
- Frame style: Round vibratory separators typically use one of two frame styles: (a) tensioned ring-and-clamp systems (Sweco, Kason, most round separators), where a tensioning ring around the outer edge holds the screen mesh taut, or (b) internal ring-tensioned systems where the mesh is pre-tensioned on the frame and the whole frame assembly drops into the screener. Determine your style by looking at how the current screen is held in the machine.
- Number of sections: Some larger screens (48" and above) are supplied as two or three segments rather than one full ring. Note whether your screen is a single piece or segmented.
- Current mesh specification: Check your screen for a stamped, printed, or tagged mesh number (e.g., “30 mesh SS” or “595 µm polyester”). If the label is missing, refer to your original purchase records or contact ScreenerKing for assistance identifying the mesh by measurement.
- Mesh material: Note the wire or fabric material — stainless steel (304 or 316), polyester, nylon, or other. Different materials have different corrosion resistance, temperature limits, and FDA compliance status.

Frequently Asked Questions: Replacement Screens
How do I find a replacement screen for my Sweco screener?
You need four pieces of information: screener diameter (18" through 72"), mesh size or micron opening, frame style (Sweco uses a tension ring and clamp bolt system), and mesh material. ScreenerKing supplies compatible replacement screens for Sweco 18", 24", 30", 48", and 60" separators in all standard mesh sizes. Contact us with your model number for a direct cross-reference.
Are aftermarket replacement screens as good as OEM screens?
Quality aftermarket screens from a reputable supplier match OEM screens in all critical specifications: wire diameter, mesh count, aperture size, and frame dimensions. ScreenerKing screens are manufactured to ASTM E11 or Tyler mesh standards and dimensionally verified to fit the specified OEM frame before shipment. Inferior aftermarket screens fail on frame fit, allowing material bypass.
What information do I need to order a replacement screen?
Provide: OEM brand and model, screen diameter in inches, number of sections (single-piece or segmented), mesh size or micron opening, mesh material (304 SS, 316 SS, polyester, nylon, polyurethane), and whether you need a tensioned or untensioned screen. Include the OEM part number if available — ScreenerKing maintains a cross-reference database.
Can ScreenerKing screens replace Kason circular vibratory screener screens?
Yes. ScreenerKing supplies direct-fit replacement screens for Kason circular vibratory screeners in 18", 24", 30", 40", and 48" diameters in all standard mesh sizes and materials. Kason's tensioned ring-and-clamp frame system is compatible with ScreenerKing standard screens.
How often should I replace my vibratory screens?
Fine mesh screens (100 mesh and finer): inspect weekly, replace every 4 to 12 weeks. Coarse screens (under 40 mesh): inspect monthly, replace every 3 to 12 months. Wet or abrasive applications: inspect every 1 to 2 weeks. Replace immediately if any holes, broken wires, sagged mesh, or frame distortion are visible. A damaged screen passes oversized particles into your accepted product stream.
