These screen replacement parts are a high wearitem and are extremely expensive. Some O.E.M manufacturers have specifically designed eachbed unit with irregular bolt hole patterns in order to justify their replacement parts business anddiscourage cost effective aftermarket equivalents. In an effort to reduce costs, some tabletoperations purchase bulk stainless screen and hand cut screens to fit. If the screen is not cutprecisely, it can become embrittled. This cost saving practice has resulted in product recalls andproduct liability suits.Rubber Fab Features Benefits O.E.M. and CompetitionLaser etchedidentificationPrecision CNC cuttingSuperior PackagingOptional SinteringMarking screens withindelible identificationgreatly reduces productionrejection rate.
