Hook-Strip Tensioned Screen Panel in 304 Stainless Steel (AISI 304 (1.4301)) is used for screening aggregates, ore, coal and recycled material on vibrating screen decks with woven wire panels whose folded hook strips let the panel be side-tensioned tight across the deck. The alloy gives good general corrosion resistance in atmosphere and fresh water and is essentially non-magnetic (annealed), with a practical service limit of approx. +450 °C continuous.

Where 304 Stainless Steel Hook-Strip Tensioned Screen Panel Is Used
- Quarries & aggregate: top, middle and bottom decks on inclined and horizontal screens.
- Mining: ore and coal sizing ahead of crushing and washing.
- Sand & gravel plants: wet screening decks.
- Recycling: construction waste and asphalt screening.
Ordering Hook-Strip Tensioned Screen Panel in 304 Stainless Steel
- Aperture & wire: Choose the cut size, then a wire heavy enough for the largest feed lump.
- Hook style: 30° side hooks or double-folded hooks to match the deck clamp rails.
- Steel: 65Mn high-carbon for wear; stainless for wet or corrosive screening.
Mistakes to Avoid with Hook-Strip Tensioned Screen Panel
- Leaving panels slack, which causes wire fatigue and early breakage.
- Ordering the wrong hook angle for the machine rails.
