History of the screen
The oldest screens known consisted of wooden ISENMANN started manufacturing
bars and finer screens of horse hair. The first polyurethane screens in 1973:
exact proof for the use of wire as grids goes
back to 1556. It was used to process ore. The - stretched tensioned versions
first patents for this purpose were registered in - flat versions
France in 1821. - flat screen panels in frames
- system screen panels
Louis Herrmann in Dresden specialised in
producing industrial screens since 1838. This e.g.
company was pioneering in the development
of screening processes and was destroyed
during the Second World War. HEIN LEHMANN
was able to take over the most important
employees after the collapse, and consequently Interchangeable screen system WS 43 since 1978
all the rights and experience.

ISENMANN, founded in 1949, was taken over

by HEIN LEHMANN in the mid 50s and thus
was able to share HEIN LEHMANNs wealth of
experience. Interchangeable screen system WS 80 since 1980

The plastic material polyurethane was devel-

oped by Bayer. The basic patents go back to
1937. The raw material basis of polyurethane
materials is crude oil. The most important
isocyanates for polyurethane are made from Interchangeable screen system WS 83 since 1983
benzene and toluoI.

There are very many of applications with this

material. The first polyurethane screens were
manufactured in the mid 60s.
Interchangeable screen system WS 85 since 1984
A very successful screening system
backed by a great deal of experience.

Further developements are centred around

this system with its typical dimensions.

The inside modules generally have a width of 300 mm. The system is adapted to any machine width
with the outside modules. The standard lengths of the screen modules and the NOCKIN bars are
1000 mm. Further developements are generally centred around the standard dimensions.

By using different cloths and grids with various wire diameters different clamping heights
are required.
As a result different clamping profiles are needed as follows:

WS 83 top bar: remains the same for all cloth and grids

WS 83 bottom bar: the measurement x is different.

x = 15, for wire diameters up to approx. 12 mm
x = 10, for wire diameters from approx. 12 mm upwards
The precise cap whether x =15 or x = 10 also depends on the mesh size
and can be taken from the following table.

WS 83 side bar: the dimensions a + b will differ depending on the thickness of the wire
and the type of screen cloth

Please refer to the following table for details.

When using cloth with wire thicknesses of up to 2.2 mm we recommend overlapping the cloth by
about 15 mm to avoid gaps where the screen modules meet (join (2) + (3)).
The adjoining profile bars have an overlap on the discharge side and a notch on the feed side to
support the cloth ends at the join.
For cloth with wire thicknesses of 2.5 mm to 3.0 mm we recommend using WS 83 top and bottom
bars with overlaps so that the opposite cloths are supported at the join in order to avoid any gaps
(join (4)).
For cloth and grids with wire thicknesses greater than 3.0 mm no overlapping and notches are
required. The cloths, grids start and end with the respective profile bars.
