Wedge Wire Screen Types, Benefits and Applications

Wedge wire screen consists of stainless steel triangle wire surface profiles and stainless steel support rods (triangle wire, round bar, flat bar or wedge wire). It forms various V-shape slots with narrow opening on the top and wide opening on the bottom and delivers high flow rate, excellent chemical stability and great corrosion resistance performance.

Benefits
  • High Strength: Our wedge wire adopts contour welding technology and provides high strength for the whole structure.
  • Maximum Flow Rate: Wedge wire enjoys a relatively small resistance and delivers a high flow rate. Therefore, its flow volume is greatly increased compared with plastic filter elements with a similar size.
  • Anti-Clogging Slot: Wedge wire forms V-shaped openings with narrow opening outside and wide opening inside. Therefore, large particles are kept outside the screen and small particles pass through the narrow opening and enter the screen.
  • Great Adaptability to Temperature Changes: Compared with ordinary plastic filter elements, wedge wire performs better adaptability to temperature changes and is applied to environments with great temperature changes.
  • Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Thanks to the properties of the stainless steel, our wedge wire presents excellent corrosion resistance performance in various acid and alkaline environments like recycled caustic soda, hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid. Therefore, our wedge wire can work economically and safely in filters that apply to various environments.
  • Custom Slot Size: Customers employ various filters and filtering mediums for filtration, therefore, they will have different requirements for slot size. Our screens are continuously welded by special welding equipment, therefore, the slot size can be customized to achieve high precision filtration. In this way, we can meet the needs of different customers without additional costs.
