TR Solid Control Screen Wedge: Premium Fastening Solution For High-Volume Shaker Operations

TR Solid Control Screen Wedge: Premium Fastening Solution for High-Volume Shaker Operations

Screen wedges are essential fastening components used in vibrating screening equipment—including drilling fluid shakers and industrial mineral screens. They provide rapid screen tensioning and secure fixation, ensuring the screen remains taut and accurately positioned during high-speed vibration. This enhances both screening efficiency and the service life of the screen panel.

Key Advantages

✅ Efficient Tensioning:
Features a tapered design for quick installation and locking, with adjustable tension capability to accommodate various screen thicknesses.

✅ Vibration & Wear Resistance:
Manufactured from durable materials such as galvanized steel or polyurethane, offering excellent resistance to high-frequency vibration, abrasion, and drilling fluid corrosion.

✅ Tool-Free Operation:
Certain variants allow for manual installation and removal without tools, significantly reducing downtime during screen changes.

Applications

• Oil & Gas Drilling: Used in primary solid control systems such as shale shakers for secure screen fixation.

• Mining and Mineral Processing: Suitable for ore and coal classification screens where reliable tensioning is critical.

• Food and Chemical Industries: Stainless steel wedges available for applications requiring sanitary-grade material compliance.

Common Issues & Solutions

• Screen Loosening: Re-tension or replace worn wedges to maintain proper screen flatness and tension.

• Wedge Jamming: Clean guide rails and apply a silicone-based lubricant to prevent sticking and ensure smooth operation.
