Wedge wire screen is also known as V-wire or profile wire screen. The metal wire screen is made by welding V-shaped profile wire onto support rods in a precise and continuous pattern to form slots with uniform openings. This wire wrapped v slot screen offers efficient filtration, excellent structural strength and long-term durability. Wedge wire screen is widely used in water treatment, petrochemical, food processing and mining.

General Technical Information

• 304 Stainless Steel (SS304, SS304L)
• 316 Stainless Steel (SS316, SS316L)
• High-Chrome Alloys (904L, Hastelloy)
• Duplex and Super Duplex Stainless Steel
• Titanium or Monel

General Sizes

• Slot Openings: 0.02 mm to 10 mm
• Wire Widths: 0.75 mm to 3 mm
• Support Rod Spacing: 10 mm to 100 mm
• Outer Diameters (screen tubes): 25 mm to 600 mm
• Lengths: Up to 6 meters or customized as required

Forms

Wedge wire screens are manufactured in the following forms:

• Cylindrical Screen Tubes
• Flat Screen Panels (Curved or Straight)
• Wedge Wire Baskets
• Rotary Drum Screens

Uses

Wedge wire screens are widely used for solid-liquid separation and fluid control screening:

• Water Treatment – Intake screens, sand filters, wastewater screening
• Petrochemical – Reactor internals, desanding, downhole sand control
• Mining and Quarrying – Vibrating screens, dewatering modules
• Food and Beverage – Brewing, starch separation, sugar juice filtration
• Pulp and Paper – Pulp thickening, screening of fibrous materials
• Pharmaceutical – Sterile filtration and particle retention
• Agriculture – Irrigation filters, intake screens, fertilizer processing
