MD DM / SM / DMX dry screens and dewatering screens — match screening media, supports and excitation parts to each design.
OEM Equipment Details
Select Screening Media for the Screen Type
Selection and drawing-based supply of screen mesh, panels, liners and support spares. MD screens use woven wire mesh; dewatering screens use heavy-duty polyurethane media. Their apertures, supports and fixing systems require different parts.
Standard Models and Key Dimensions
MD Types and Dewatering Screen Configurations
Provide the full model, deck, screen width and length, aperture, wire diameter or panel thickness, and fixing method.
| Type | Decks / Excitation Configuration | Screening Media and Dimensions |
|---|---|---|
| MD Type DM | Two eccentric vibratory motors; commonly 5 decks | Woven wire mesh; check apertures for each deck |
| MD Type SM | One eccentric vibratory motor; 1–4 decks | Woven wire mesh; check tensioning edges and screen frame |
| MD Type DMX | Two eccentric vibratory motors; typically 3–5 decks | Large multi-deck models; check the installed configuration |
| MD Size Range | Configured for the model and application | Screen widths of 19–78 in (approximately 48–198 cm as stated by the OEM) |
| Dewatering Screen | Counter-rotating vibratory motors; mechanical exciters on larger installations | Polyurethane screening media and longitudinal support system; match the installation drawing |
The MD width range does not specify each model's dimensions. Confirm apertures, decks and drive parameters from the nameplate and screen drawings.

Screen Frames, Crossmembers and Longitudinal Supports
Deck Frames & Supports
Check the MD frame or dewatering screen longitudinal support system separately. Provide sections, mounting-hole spacing and connection drawings.

Frequently asked questions
Can MD screen mesh be replaced with dewatering screen polyurethane panels?
No direct substitution is possible. The applications, motion, decks and fixing systems differ. Select the screening media from the specific screen model and installation drawing.
