A screen assembly for mounting on the outlet end of an extruder for removing foreign particles from an elastomeric material being discharged from the extruder. The assembly includes a screen support member having a plurality of spaced elongated ribs formed integrally with or removably mounted on a surrounding member. The spaced ribs form a plurality of elongated slots therebetween which provide flow paths fox the elastomeric material, and preferably are concavely-shaped in the direction of travel of the extruded material. A mesh screen formed of a high tensile strength, work hardened stainless steel wire cloth is formed complementary to the concavity of the ribs and is mounted in juxtaposition, to the ribs for removing the foreign particles as the elastomeric material passes through the screen. The concavity of the ribs and formation of the elongated material flow paths, reduce the amount of back pressure created in the elastomeric material and reduces the bending and shear forces created on the ribs and surrounding support member.
