Hooks & Edge Preparation

NOTE: Proper screen size and tensioning are critical for effective screening and longer screen life. Unified edge preparations fit OEM and customer-designed equipment properly for optimum tensioning. Banded edges strengthen hooked edges and provide even tensioning across the screen.
