Fitting

Unlike wire mesh which can only be drawn flat, synthetic mesh sieving screens benefit from being well tensioned prior to use. Nylon mesh holds its tension better if it is soaked in water prior to fitting but this is not necessary with polyester which absorbs little or no water. The two main methods for fitting mesh are:

1. The mesh can be hand tensioned or stretched with special wide-jaw tensioning pliers before fastening to the sieve frame by either stapling or trapping in a 2-part-metal frame. 

2. Alternatively, the best tensioning can be achieved using a pneumatic tensioning machine which allows for the mesh to be adhesively bonded to a wood or metal frame. Normesh can provide this particular option if preferred.
