What makes wedge wire so effective over other Sieve types are the V-shaped gaps or slots (across the screen thickness), where the liquid and smaller particles pass through. This is created by the working profile wire strand’s triangular shape of the sieve screen, making the gap smallest (closer together) on the working surface, and progressively getting larger/wider through the thickness of the screen. This widening of the gap is the main reason why wedge wire screens are used in many of our separation, dewatering and filtration pieces of equipment as they almost always eliminate premature blockages that greatly increase system efficiency and reduce downtime.
Robust and versatile:
Our wedge wire sieve screens are designed for both, open-to-atmosphere processes as well as closed-circuit pressurised filtration systems, with options for stainless and acid-proof steels to cover most applications to combat corrosion, abrasion, and chemical attack, or simply for aesthetic reasons. They are a fully welded construction (electrofusion) for strength, rigidity, high tolerance, minimal Sieving hindrance, large format manufacturing, and visual appearance. Being a rigid, fully welded construction enables our wedge wire screens to be used in moveable applications, and subject to vibration, heat, pressure, moving & mechanical force. Can be manufactured in various shapes and contours: flat and internal & external curved, cylindrical, conical, and U channel.
