Our welded cylindrical screens can be categorized as designed with the media retention surface either on the
outside or the inside of the screen.

Standard Construction features external Internal Circumferential Wire Construction uses

circumferential wire and internal support rods.
Axial Wire Construction produces vertical slots
which allow beds of media to move up and down
without abrading the individual grains.
Channel Rod Construction uses perforated
channels as the internal support elements and flow
control surface. When used as a collector, flow is
outside in; as a distributor, flow is inside out.
external support rods to create an unobstructed
internal screen face.
Internal Axial Wire Construction creates long,
parallel slots. In vertical applications, media can
move up and down with abrading. In horizontal
rotating applications, flow moves across the wire
edges for efficient dewatering.
Inverted Wire Construction presents the wire face to
the cylinder interior and uses internal support rods.
