Wedge wire intake screen is a specially designed screening equipment, usually used for pre-filtration and impurity removal of liquids or gases, especially in industrial processes that need to handle large amounts of fluids, gases or dust. Its "wedge wire" refers to the shape of the metal wire used in the screen structure, which has a wedge-shaped cross-section and can effectively separate solids from liquids or solids from gases.
Main features:
High efficiency filtration:
The wedge wire screen can efficiently capture and remove solid impurities, especially when there are fine particles in the liquid or gas, and can provide a fine filtration effect.
Self-cleaning:
Due to the design of the wedge wire, the screen surface has a strong self-cleaning ability. When the fluid passes through, solid particles easily slide along the wedge wire surface, reducing the possibility of clogging and fouling, and extending the service life of the filter.
High pressure and high flow rate resistance:
This screen is suitable for high flow rate and high pressure application scenarios. It can maintain stable filtration performance under high pressure and is not easily deformed or damaged due to excessive flow rate.
Corrosion and wear resistance:
The use of corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel can adapt to working environments with strong chemical and corrosive properties. At the same time, the wedge wire structure has strong wear resistance and is suitable for use in environments with wear risks.
Good fluid permeability:
Compared with traditional flat wire screens, wedge wire screens have better fluid permeability due to their special weaving structure, which can increase the fluid flux without affecting the filtering effect.
Application
Water treatment:
In the field of water treatment, wedge wire inlet screens are usually used for water source pre-filtration and solid-liquid separation. For example, in the primary filtration stage of sewage treatment plants, or for filtering seawater and river water to remove larger solid particles.
Oil and gas industry:
In the process of oil and gas extraction, wedge wire inlet screens can be used for oil and gas separation, filtering impurities and solid particles in wellhead gas, and protecting pipeline systems from blockage.
Chemical industry:
Used for solid-liquid separation, filtration and impurity removal in chemical production processes, such as raw material purification and solvent recovery after chemical reactions.
Food and Beverage Industry:
In the food and beverage processing, wedge wire air intake screens can be used to filter liquids, remove solid impurities from water, beverages or other liquids, and ensure product quality and safety.
Mining and Metallurgy:
In ore processing and metallurgical industries, wedge wire air intake screens can be used for tasks such as slurry filtration and metal waste separation, and meet the needs of high-concentration, coarse particle separation.
Air and Gas Filtration:
In the filtration of high-flow air or gas, wedge wire air intake screens can efficiently filter dust and particulate matter, and are widely used in environmental protection, industrial gas treatment and other fields.
