Security Screen The security screen is a sheet of metal with holes set to the desired final particle size, which prevents any pieces from going through the fan system and waste collection that hasn’t yet been reduced to the required size. The screen chamber can easily be opened for changing screens, visual inspection and clearing a jam. -
