THE SREEN PLATES ARE MADE OF STURDY V-PROFILED SCREEN WIRES WITH A LARGE WEDGE TYPE OPENING
AT THE BOTTOM FACE AND SOME SUPPLIERS USE AN ADDITIONAL TAPER OF THE SCREEN OPENING IN THE
CONVEYING/ SLIDING DIRECTION; THIS WILL SAFELY AVAOID ANY CLOGGING OF THE SCREEN PLATES.
THE „TAPER“ OF THE SCREEN PLATES IS SELECTED AS A FUNCTION OF THE OILSEED; BEEING NORMALLY 0,4 - 0,6 mm,
