Information about the Screen Gaskets

The screen gaskets suit various processes and can be applied anywhere where pipes with sanitary connections are in place. They are installed to filter particles of different sizes out of a medium or to protect equipment – for example pumps – from damage by impurity or foreign objects. The mesh size of the screen states how many wires are in an area of one inch. So, the screen gaskets are available in the sizes. The screen material is stainless steel which can also be delivered as an electronical polished version upon request.

If a medium contains multiple particles of different sizes that need to be filtered out, it is recommended to use several screen gaskets in a row. This way the biggest particles are filtered out first and the smaller ones are being filtered later. This prevents the screens from clogging quickly and also blocking the products flow.

In order to provide the right screen gasket for each application and also medium, there is a wide range of gasket materials available:

• EPDM / Buna / FKM / Silicone / PTFE

The screen gaskets are also available with a special screen design which is called “sock screen”. The screen reaches into the pipe like a sock, which offers a much bigger screen surface and can take far more particles than a regular screen. This extends the intervals of exchange and improves the maintenance costs.

The sock-screen gaskets are available in the following materials:

• EPDM / Buna / FKM / Silicone

All materials have been certified extensively and are conform to the requirements of USP Class VI, ASME BPE standards and also cGMP.
