One idea I've had is to use a very long hypodermic needle to inject air, or water into the middle of the screen. I'm not sure where you'd get a 12" needle from though!
Any feed mill or store that sells livestock supplies will have large needles and syringes for injecting cattle and horses with antibiotics, vitamins, or medications. The longest ones actually have blunt tips, and are used to squirt the medication down the animals throat.
