Customized Process of Wedge-shaped Wire Filter Cartridge

01
Demand Analysis and Design Confirmation

Customer Demand Collection: First, customers need to provide specific application scenarios and their requirements. These requirements usually include:

Filter media: liquid or gas, and the particle size it contains.

Filter accuracy: required pore size or filter grade.

Working environment: temperature, pressure, corrosive media, etc.

Filter element size: such as diameter, length, etc.

Technical consultation and design: Based on the needs provided by customers, manufacturers will conduct technical consultation and design suitable wedge wire filter element specifications and filtration performance according to requirements such as filtration accuracy, working conditions, flow rate, etc.

02
Material selection
Stainless steel (304, 316, 316L)
Suitable for most water treatment and industrial filtration applications, with excellent corrosion resistance.
Alloy steel or other high-temperature resistant materials
Used in applications with high temperature or special chemical environments.
Material Selection Factors
The choice of material will affect the service life, corrosion resistance, strength and filtration efficiency of the filter element.
03
Design and Manufacturing

Wire mesh design: The design of the wedge wire filter element must ensure that the fluid can flow smoothly and have sufficient filtering accuracy. The wedge wire is a spiral metal wire fixed to the support rod through welding or winding process to form a structure with uniform gaps. According to customer needs, the designer will determine the appropriate thickness, gap, shape, arrangement, etc. of the wedge wire.

Slot design: The gap of the wedge wire determines the filtering accuracy of the filter element, and it is usually necessary to ensure that the mesh size and the size of the particles match.

Structural design: The overall structure of the filter element also includes internal and external supports, and the end closure design of the filter element (such as end caps, flange design, etc.). Depending on different application requirements, the shape and structure of the filter element (such as cylindrical, conical or flat) will vary.

Manufacturing and Assembly

Wedge wire production: According to design requirements, the wedge wire is made by winding or welding process with specific shapes, sizes and surface characteristics. During the manufacturing process, the wire needs to be precisely processed to ensure its structural stability.

Welding and assembly: The wedge wire is usually combined with the support rod through automated welding equipment to form the frame structure of the filter element. The welding process requires precision to ensure the strength and stability of the filter element.

Cutting and forming: According to the design size, the filter element needs to be cut and formed to ensure that it meets the size requirements of the installation location.

End caps and flanges: According to specific needs, end caps or flanges are added to both ends of the filter element, which can provide additional sealing functions and facilitate installation and removal.

04.
Surface Treatment

Cleaning and degreasing: Wedge wire filter elements may have grease or impurities remaining during welding and processing, so they need to be thoroughly cleaned to ensure their cleanliness.

Surface protection and coating: For certain specific applications, such as high temperature or highly corrosive environments, the filter element may need to be surface treated or coated. For example, passivation or spraying can be performed to improve the corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance of the filter element.


05.
Quality Control and Testing

Dimension inspection: Use precise measuring tools to check whether the dimensions of the filter element meet the design requirements, including diameter, length, porosity, filtration accuracy, etc.

Filtration performance test: Flow test and filtration accuracy test are performed to ensure that the filter element can provide stable filtration effect under specified working conditions. Parameters such as flow rate, pressure, flow rate of liquid or gas can be tested.

Pressure test: To ensure the stability of the filter element under high pressure conditions, a pressure test is usually required to test the pressure resistance of the filter element under high load.

06.
Packaging and Delivery

Packaging: The filter element is protected by appropriate packaging to avoid damage during transportation. Moisture-proof and collision-proof packaging materials are usually used to ensure that the filter element remains intact during transportation.

Delivery and installation: According to customer needs, customized wedge wire filter elements can be delivered directly to customers, or installation support and training can be provided according to specific applications.
