Description
What Are Hook Strip Soft Screens?
Hook strip soft screens are an early design of tensioned shale shaker screens. Instead of a rigid frame, they consist of multiple layers of fine stainless steel mesh bonded together with side hooks. The screen is installed by tensioning across the shaker bed using the hooks on both sides.
Though many rigs now use composite or steel frame screens, hook strip soft screens are still in demand for older shakers and for customers who prefer their lower initial cost.
