Stainless Steel Screens for food dryers, 24" by 24", 12-mesh, order of 8 screens

Description

These screens are manufactured for food-grade use. We sell them to facilitate the process of building screens for solar food dryers, such as the ones pictured on the Solar Food Drying page of our dot.com website, GeoPathfinder. They are type 304 stainless steel, 12-mesh (12 wires per inch), 24-inch by 24-inch, plain-weave wire screens with .018-inch wires and 65.1% open area. When fastened to a wooden frame using either 1/2" staples or 1/2" stainless screws every 4 inches, they sag very little in the center, even with a screen full of wet food.
These are newly cut from a 4 foot wide, 100 foot long roll so the edges are "raw" and very sharp. Wear gloves when handling or cutting it (we use chrome-molybdenum, semi-serrated aircraft shears from Stanley). We recommend washing the screens before food use as there may be an oily residue left over from the manufacturing process.
They are shipped via insured USPS Priority Mail, rolled into a 24 inch long box measuring 6 by 6 inches. Free shipping within the continental United States. No returns are accepted simply because we doubt that you would be able to get it repacked for return without mangling it. Check our other E-Bay listings for other quantities. And there are other options if you think our E-bay price, padded as it is with sales and listing fees in addition to flat-rate Priority Mail shipping, is excessive.  E-mail us at our Gmail account, listed as "bobdowser". Include the quantity of screens you desire and your Zip Code to get a price quote with other shipping choices and free of the added fees.
