What Is Wedge Wire Screen

What is Wedge Wire Screen?

Wedge Wire Screen, also known as profile bar, is a multi-functional screen used in various industries for filtration, solid-liquid separation, classification, dewatering, concentration, and other applications. Its unique triangular shape, varying in height, width, and radius on both the nose and corners, makes it an ideal filtration solution for a wide range of industries.

Features of Wedge Wire Screen

1. Less Clogging, Good Dewatering: 

The triangular shape of the Wedge Wire Screen ensures that solids pass through with minimal clogging, and even if clogging occurs, the strong backwashing effect makes maintenance a breeze.

2. High Strength, High Durability: 

With a screen surface that is smooth and resistant to wear, Wedge Wire Screens can be produced with wire diameters larger than the slit, making them highly durable and long-lasting. Standard materials include stainless steel (SUS304, 316L), and special materials like titanium or duplex stainless steel can be used for specific applications.

3. Broad Flexibility in Design: 

Wedge Wire Screens can be manufactured in various shapes, includingflat screen , cylinder screen, and conical screen, making them adaptable to diverse industrial requirements.

Where and How is Wedge Wire Used?

After production, Wedge Wire Screens are supported by round or screen wire, or even strip/sheet. 

They are commonly used in two main types of screens: Flat Screen and Cylindrical Screen, with variations including round and basket screens. The application of Wedge Wire Screens is vast, including:

l Pulp and Paper Manufacturing

l Water Reservoir Intakes

l Mineral Processing

l Microbrewery Beer Tanks

l Architectural Applications

l Manufacturing Process

l Chemical wastewater treatment

l Oil & Gas Well Screen

l Food Processing

Wedge Wire Screens are manufactured by resistance welding V-shaped wire on support rods. The process begins with high-quality raw wire, which is then cut, shaped, fabricated, and cleaned to produce a high-quality screen.

Customization Options

Wedge Wire Screens can be ordered as raw screen material or fabricated to a finished product to suit specific application requirements. With a wide range of alloy and thickness options, Wedge Wire Screens can be tailored to meet the unique needs of various industries.

Wedge Wire Screens are a critical component in many industries due to their minimal clogging, high durability, and design flexibility. Whether used in water filtration, mineral processing, or architectural applications, their effectiveness and long-lasting performance make them an excellent choice for any filtration needs.
