Improving your Bottom Line by Taking Your Screen Process Inhouse

Haffner’s SAC-845 will make a difference in your operation and give you CONTROL over the process while improving your bottom line! With the SAC-845 your estimated typical cycle time for a 24″ x 36″window screen frame is approximately 35 seconds, including all handling. This would require ONE operator for approximately 60 screens/hour.

The SAC-845 automates the application of screen mesh to a pre-assembled screen frame. The SAC-845 utilizes bar code scanning or direct ERP input to identify the screen frame, automatically choose and apply the correct screen mesh, insert the screen spline, and trim excess perimeter screen mesh. The larger SAC-855 Automatic Bug Screen Mesh & Spline Insertion Machine for patio doors and window screens will accommodate sizes up to 48″ x 96″.
