Rotary Screen Repeat, Mesh & Length Guide

A nickel rotary printing screen quotation starts with three separate specification fields: length, repeat and mesh. Use this guide to distinguish the fields and prepare a clear configuration request.

What Does Rotary Screen Length Mean?

Length identifies the screen’s length dimension in the product specification. Merser lists this field in millimetres, with four options:

  • 1980 mm
  • 2650 mm
  • 3050 mm
  • 3500 mm

Write the selected value under Length (mm) in your enquiry. It is one part of the configuration: the repeat and mesh must be stated separately.

What Is Repeat in a Rotary Screen?

Repeat is a separate specification field used to identify the requested rotary screen configuration. In Merser’s product range, the repeat options are:

  • 640 mm
  • 819 mm
  • 914 mm
  • 1018 mm

Provide this value as Repeat (mm). For example, “Length: 2650 mm” and “Repeat: 819 mm” describe two different fields in the same request. Neither value replaces the other.

What Does Mesh Mean?

Mesh identifies another selection in the screen specification. It is provided as a mesh number, separately from the length and repeat values measured in millimetres.

  • 25
  • 40
  • 60
  • 80
  • 100
  • 125
  • 135
  • 155
  • 165

Include the required number under Mesh when requesting a quotation. This guide lists Merser’s available specification options; it does not assign individual mesh values to fabrics, inks or printing conditions.

How to present each screen specification in a quotation request
SpecificationAvailable optionsHow it is provided in a quotation request
Length (mm)1980 / 2650 / 3050 / 3500 mmState one length in millimetres, for example: Length: 2650 mm.
Repeat (mm)640 / 819 / 914 / 1018 mmState one repeat in millimetres, for example: Repeat: 819 mm.
Mesh25 / 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 / 125 / 135 / 155 / 165State one mesh number, for example: Mesh: 125.

Use the field names with their values. A list of numbers without labels can leave the requested configuration unclear.

144 Screen Configurations

Merser’s four lengths, four repeat options and nine mesh options give 144 length–repeat–mesh combinations. Quantity is specified separately when you request a quotation.

The number of configurations is not a statement of stock or immediate delivery. Price, availability and lead time are confirmed when quoting.

How to Specify a Nickel Rotary Screen for a Quotation

For the product configuration, provide four details: Length, Repeat, Mesh and Quantity. Keep each on a separate labelled line so the requested combination is clear.

This is a format example only, not a price, stock or delivery indication.

The Nickel Rotary Screens product selector lets you choose these four fields and prepare your own request for WhatsApp or the quotation form. The example above does not preselect your order.
