Unique Features of the Draper^® Tab Tensioning System

All Draper^® tab tensioned screen surfaces are cut on CNC controlled cutting tables, including the tabs. The tabs are then folded to the backside of the screen surface and RF welded . The result is a much stronger tab, with no possibility of separation, as the tab and the surface are fused into a single layer of material. We cycled a tab tensioned screen made in this manner over 30,000 times with no tab failure.

This new system is not only better, it is much nicer looking. Making a tab tensioned surface in this manner significantly reduces the puckering that has characterized the edges of tab tensioned screens made by Draper^® and other screen manufacturers for years – please see unretouched photos below.

We believe this new system represents a unique and significant improvement in tab tensioned screen design. We are so confident of this new system that we warrant all Draper^® tab-tensioned screens against tab separation for five years from date of manufacture.
