Newark’s exclusive SKS OverScreens™ are comparable to the traditional Wire Mesh OverScreens. They are available with similar opening sizes and open area percentages as wire cloth, but the materials of construction are very different. In many ways the SKS OverScreen™ material is superior to wire cloth. The material used to make the SKS OverScreens™ is punched from stainless steel sheet; it is not made up of individual wires like wire cloth. Since the SKS OverScreen™ material is not a woven product (made up of individual wires) it has no potential contamination zones or areas where the wires contact each other and make the traditional Wire Mesh OverScreen more difficult to clean thoroughly. The design of the material used to fabricate SKS OverScreen™ makes the SKS OverScreen™ easier to clean! SKS OverScreens™ are quality crafted the same as Newark’s Wire Mesh OverScreens. The longitudinal seam is continuously welded using a welding mandrel to ensure a consistent diameter for the full length of the SKS OverScreen™ cylinder. The SKS OverScreen™ cylinder ends are hemmed to provide a smooth, finished edge for the strainer element. All material is 316L Stainless Steel.
