Punch Plate
Graepels manufacture the largest range of perforated punch plates for our customers. Our profile shapes include round, square, rectangular, hexagon/diamond and slotted.
Perforated punch plates offer longer screen life and excellent efficiency.
Perforation Shape:
- Round
- Square
- Elongated
- Hexagonal.
Materials Available
- Mild Steel
- Stainless Steel
- Certain Plastics by special request
Perforated Spacing and Pitching
Heavy punched plates are supplied with 60 and 90 degree pitches depending on the application. It’s important to note that the bridge between the holes should generally be greater than the thickness of the material in order to make the screen durable. In certain cases flow is more important than longevity.
Perforation Possibilities
Perforations must be the same or larger in size than the material thickness. Very hard or very soft materials can cause difficulty and need to be checked by our technical department.
