Compass Wire Cloth Highlights the Performance and Versatility of Piano Wire Screens

High-Throughput, Self-Cleaning Screens Engineered for Precision, Durability, and Superior Material Handling

Compass Wire Cloth, a North American leading manufacturer of separation, sifting, and screening solutions, highlights its Piano Wire Screens, also known as Harp Wire Screens, as a high-performance solution for operators seeking efficiency, durability, and precision in demanding screening applications. Engineered with long wires, these screens eliminate cross wires to achieve the highest open area of any screen on the market, delivering throughput up to five times greater than traditional long-slot woven screens.


Piano Wire Screens from Compass Wire Cloth are available with plastic or metal profile bars, giving users the flexibility to match material and application requirements. Plastic bars provide greater flexibility and improved vibration, helping keep the screen surface clean and reducing blinding. Metal profile bars offer added structural rigidity where required. These profiles are moveable to allow for quick adjustment to support rails, enabling fine-tuning for better alignment and optimal performance.

Built for both side-tensioned or end-tensioned screen setups, these screens come equipped with common hook types, and custom hook shapes are available to accommodate virtually any screening machine. Compass Wire Cloth offers these screens made of high-quality, high-tensile, or stainless-steel wire, ensuring a long service life even in tough conditions. High-tensile wire is ideal for screening dry materials, while stainless steel excels in high-moisture environments.

With wire thickness options selected based on throughput requirements, self-cleaning performance, and resistance to impact and abrasion, users can expect tailored solutions that balance strength and efficiency. Opening sizes range from 1mm to 19mm, giving operators the precision to match screen selection to specific materials.

These screens are particularly effective for fine screening of sand, gravel, compost, topsoil, coal, and recycled materials. They are also an excellent choice for handling challenging materials that are prone to clogging, blinding, and overrunning. Their design excels at removing roots and other elongated debris, offering a cleaner separation and reducing material contamination.

Compass Wire Cloth's Piano Wire Screens deliver unmatched screening performance. Whether operating in recycling, mining, landscaping, or construction, these screens are engineered to meet the most demanding screening conditions with efficiency and reliability.

Photophyllâ„¢ Select from CREE LED

Photophyllâ„¢ Select from CREE LED

Photophyll Select is a new phosphor-converted LED color with blue and green spectral output tuned for horticulture applications. These LEDs are designed to replace the white LEDs that are common in two-channel white + red horticulture luminaires. By maximizing green content and minimizing red content versus standard lighting LEDs, this LED color enables significant enhancements to luminaire cost and performance. Photophyll Select LEDs are the industry's first LEDs to be entirely binned in horticulture metrics, enabling more straightforward spectrum design without confusing translations or conversions. The spectral output of these LEDs is binned into two metrics, both of which are based on the amount of PPF in standard Blue (400-499 nm), Green (500-599 nm) and Red (600-700 nm) bands. The two spectral metrics are percentage of Red PPF content and the ratio of Green to Blue PPF content.
