Stainless steel wire screen with selvage edge

Stainless steel wire screen with selvage edge
A stainless steel wire screen with a selvage edge is a specialized screening material that combines the corrosion resistance of stainless steel with a reinforced edge design to enhance durability and performance
Advantages of Selvage Edge
  • Enhanced Durability: Prevents edge damage from tension, abrasion, or repeated use, extending the screen’s lifespan.
  • Improved Stability: Selvage edges maintain the screen’s shape, reducing deformation in high-stress applications (e.g., vibrating screens).
  • Safety: Smooth, reinforced edges minimize the risk of cuts or damage to adjacent components.
  • Easy Installation: Selvage edges can be drilled, bolted, or clamped more securely, as they resist tearing under fastening pressure.

Common Applications

  • Industrial Screening and Filtration:
    • Mining: Separating ore particles in vibrating screens.
    • Chemical and pharmaceutical: Filtering liquids or powders to remove impurities.
    • Food processing: Sifting flour, sugar, or grains; separating solids from liquids.
  • Architectural and Decorative Uses:
    • Metal screens for facades, room dividers, or railing infills (selvage edges ensure aesthetic consistency and structural stability).
  • Marine and Coastal Environments:
    • Corrosion-resistant screens for ship decks, seawater filtration, or offshore structures (316 stainless steel is preferred here).
  • Agriculture and Horticulture:
    • Seed sorting, grain screening, or protective barriers against pests.

 

Feature Stainless Steel Wire Screen with Selvage Edge Non-Selvage Screen
Edge Durability High: Resists fraying and damage Low: Prone to unraveling or deformation
Lifespan Longer, especially in harsh environments Shorter, requiring more frequent replacement
Cost Higher due to reinforced edge design Lower, but may incur higher long-term maintenance costs
Installation Easier to secure and align May require additional edge treatments (e.g., taping)
