Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools which can cause contamination and reduce corrosion resistance.Utilize specialized stainless steel cutting tools, such as abrasive cut-off wheels or plasma cutters, to maintain material integrity and prevent galling.
Improper handling leading to surface scratches or deformation of the sheet.Handle with care, using gloves to avoid fingerprints and employing appropriate lifting equipment to prevent bending or gouging the material.

Common Applications

  • Custom filter fabrication
  • Industrial strainers and sieves
  • Separator screen manufacturing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings
