Titan 920-001 Screen Heavy Material 5 Mesh

Heavy Material Screen 5 Mesh for Viscous Coating Applications

The 920-001 heavy material screen with 5 mesh filtration is a specialized filter component designed for spray equipment handling viscous and high-build coatings that require larger passage openings than standard filtration. The 5 mesh rating refers to the screen's open area, with approximately five strands per inch, creating openings that allow heavy-bodied materials to flow freely while capturing larger contaminants that could cause tip clogging or pump damage. This screen is essential when working with materials such as block fillers, elastomeric coatings, high-build acrylics, textured finishes, mastics, and other viscous formulations that would quickly clog finer mesh screens. The screen installs at the pump inlet or within the fluid delivery path, providing the first line of defense against debris introduced during material mixing, container contamination, or environmental exposure. Heavy materials often contain aggregates, fibers, or fillers that are intentionally part of the coating formulation, and a 5 mesh screen balances the need to protect equipment with the requirement to pass these functional components. Using a screen with too fine a mesh for heavy materials results in constant clogging, reduced flow rates, and premature tip wear, while operating without proper filtration risks damage to pump valves, cylinder walls, and spray tips from abrasive particles. The 920-001 screen is constructed from durable corrosion-resistant materials capable of withstanding the chemical and physical demands of heavy coating applications. Regular inspection and cleaning of the screen during material changes or when flow reduction is observed helps maintain consistent spray performance and extends the service life of downstream components.
