Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What's the difference between edge screens and hook screens for rectangular separators?
Edge screens attach along a bonded or wrapped border, in styles like polyester, vinyl, or metal edge, fitting Derrick®, Pfening®, Great Western®, and Rotex® screeners. Hook screens instead clip in with a hook-and-strip attachment, fabricated to fit Derrick®, Tyler®, Midwestern®, and BM&M® separators.
When should I choose a high-temperature edge over a standard bonded edge screen?
High-temperature edge screens hold up under heat that would break down a standard bonded or vinyl edge, making them the right call for hot process materials. Vinyl edge is often preferred instead where wash-down and sanitation matter more than heat resistance.
Why would I choose a double or triple mesh layer hook screen instead of single mesh?
Multiple mesh layers add durability for high-abrasion or high-volume runs, where a single mesh layer would wear through faster than the production schedule allows. Double and triple layers remain the better choice when cost matters less than extended wear life.
Which rectangular separator brands can VibraScreener supply hook and edge screen replacements for?
We fabricate edge and hook screen replacements for Derrick®, Pfening®, Great Western®, Rotex®, Tyler®, Midwestern®, and BM&M® rectangular separators, plus custom builds for brands not listed. Contact us with your model and screen dimensions.
What metal options are available for hook screen fabrication, and how do I choose?
Hook screens can be fabricated in stainless steel, mild steel, copper, or other alloys depending on your process material. Stainless steel suits corrosion resistance or sanitary standards, while mild steel works for less demanding dry applications.
Are replacement Rotex® screens available in different sizes, or just one standard size?
Rotex® replacement screens come in multiple sizes and materials, since Rotex® rectangular screeners span several frame dimensions across their product line. Provide your machine’s model number and current screen dimensions when ordering to avoid a mismatch.
What are VRU and VRR rectangular screeners, and do you supply screens for them?
VRU and VRR are Rotex® model designations for rectangular screeners, and we fabricate replacement edge and hook screens sized to fit both series. Confirm your machine’s exact frame size before ordering, since dimensions can vary between production years.
How do I know whether my rectangular separator needs an edge screen or a hook screen replacement?
Check how the current screen attaches to the frame: a continuous bonded or wrapped border means you need an edge screen, while a clip-in strip attachment means you need a hook screen. See our circular sifter screens if your line also runs round separators.
