Switzer - Single-Piece Micro Screens for Optimal Performance
Our process creates single-piece stainless steel screens that optimize yield and reduce waste for industries such as pharmaceutical, food and dairy processing, as well as other fine particle reduction and separation applications and several fluid filtration applications.
Our process is exceedingly precise, and our team is knowledgable about industry regulations. We will work with you to ensure your component allows your finished product to comply with standards. The first step is a finished component that meets the exact specifications of your design. Our process is unmatched in precision.
- Tolerances: as small as +/-.001”
- Metal thickness up to .040”
- Features as small as .005”
- Corner radius as small as .005”
Whether you’re working with expensive pharmaceutical products, food products prone to bacteria, or any other high-volume product, excessive blinding can quickly get expensive. Our process has solved this problem. We’re able to customize features to drastically reduce blinding over the lifecycle of your component.
- With no burrs, overlap, traps, or hidden spaces, there’s simply nowhere for product to build up. When it comes to blinding, our products easily outperform mesh or woven screens.
- Conical holes can significantly increase flow rate and reduce buildup and blockage. We can work with you to design the precise hole shape needed for your circumstances.
- Whether your filtration needs demand greater land surface or minimal land surface, we can create exactly what you need.
You need a screen that was built to last. Our process allows for single piece designs that do more for longer, allowing you to maximize your production without limitations. Simply put, our micro screens are stronger, more durable and more rigid than alternatives like wire mesh, which means higher yield and less downtime.
- Our single piece micro screens can withstand higher flow pressure than alternatives, and that means higher volume production in less time.
- Nothing slows down production quite like halting the process to change out the screens. Our screens last longer because we engineer them to.
- Maintaining dimensional stability under pressure allows for consistent particle dispersion and maximized production. Our screens maintain their dimensions even under high flow pressure.
When every particle counts, Switzer can help you optimize your yield through customized openings. We understand that micro screens aren’t one-size-fits-all, and that includes the shape, size and configuration of the holes. Our variable configurations are virtually limitless — we can create exactly what you need to minimize loss.
- Your custom micro screens need to work with your existing machinery and equipment. Our capabilities make that a guarantee.
- Sharp, burrless edges produce less dust, and the angle of entry impacts the yield. We understand these nuances, and optimize for your exact needs.
- From variable configurations to size to shape to slope, every aspect of your features impacts yield. We leave no path unexplored.
