Installation Tips for Tensioned Rubber Screen: Preventing Damage from Impact Caused by Looseness

A brand-new tensioned rubber screen can tear through in a single shift if it’s installed too loose, and most operators only realize the mistake after they’ve already thrown money and production time away.
