Wedge Wire Screen
Screen surface made from wedge shaped profile wire and support rods for Wedge Wire Screen.
Used for screening, filtering, dewatering, and separating solid particles from liquid or dry material.
It can be made as a flat panel, sieve bend, cylinder, basket, or pipe screen.
- Product Introduction
A Wedge Wire Screen is a metal screen made by welding wedge shaped wire onto support rods. The slot is narrow at the surface and wider below, so water, slurry, or fine material can pass through while larger particles stay on the screen face. This structure is used in mining, coal washing, water treatment, food processing, starch work, paper mills, and chemical screening. It is also used as a filter element in tanks, nozzles, baskets, and pipes.
The main points are slot size, profile wire size, support rod size, material grade, and screen shape. A small slot can handle fine separation, while a wider slot is better for fast drainage or rough screening. Stainless steel 304 is common for general water and mineral use, and 316 can be used when the liquid is more corrosive. The smooth screen surface helps material move across the panel, and the welded support rods give the Wedge Wire Screen a firm shape for repeated washing or vibration.
