Cylindrical wedge wire screen

slotV-shaped

Technology Wedge wire is a welded stainless steel construction mainly used for filtration, separation and retention of media. It is made of surface profiles, usually V-shaped, that are resistance welded onto support profiles. The distance between the surface profiles is controlled very accurately and forms the slot opening through which the filtrate flows. FOTI – FITO The direction of the filtering flow is determined by the position of the surface profiles in relation to the support profiles. Wedge wire tubes are either flow out to in (FOTI) or flow in to out (FITO). Wedge wire advantages Non-clogging: the continuous slot formed by the V-shaped surface wires ensures a two-point contact between the particles and the slot, which minimizes clogging High-precision slot sizes Surface filtration: the V-shaped wires allow easy cleaning by mechanical scraping or back flushing Longer life time Low pressure drop Strong construction: for most applications, the wedge wire screens are self-supporting Engineered to high standards
