How To Order Plate

• Thickness: Specify in inches or gage number.
   

• Metal: State the kind of metal required.
   

• Width: The "width" is the dimension at right angles to the flow of material. Specify the overall width. If hook flanges are required, specify: width (measured outside the hook flanges).
   

• Length: The "length" is the dimension of the Perforated Screen Plate that is parallel to the flow of material being screened. Specify the overall length.
   

• Perforation Size & Shape: State the desired perforation size and shape.
   

• Arrangement of Perforations: Staggered arrangement (60 degree pattern) is the standard. Perforations are normally staggered in the direction of the flow of the material being screened.
   

• Bars: The "bar" is the metal between perforations and is measured at the point where perforations are closest. Specify the width of the bar.
   

• Hook Flanges or Bolt Holes: Specify whether the plate has hook flanges or bolt holes. For hook flanges specify the type required. For bolt holes a sketch showing location size and type of the bolt holes.
   

• Margins: If specific blank margins are required on the sides and/or ends of the plate, please specify the width.
   

• Crown: If a screen plate is to be "crowned", state the amount of the crown measured at the centerline.
   

• Other Information: For slotted perforations - specify whether the long dimension of the slot is parallel with the width or length of the plate. For screens requiring "skid bars" to scalp off oversize material, specify bar size and location. It is also helpful to include the make, model and size of the plant.
