Wedge Wire Intake Screen

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.

MORE DETAILS

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.

RELATED FAQ
What is Wedge Wire Screen Tube?

The wedge wire filter element is a filter element composed of a "V" shaped stainless steel wire and a stainless steel support strip. Its smooth surface is the filter surface, and the gap is a strip, which belongs to the surface filtration form.

What are the primary applications of wedge wire Screen Tube?

Wedge wire filter elements are widely used in many fields, mainly including petrochemical, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, water treatment.

What is the difference between wedge wire filter elements and other wire mesh filter elements?

The wedge-shaped wire filter element has a higher filtration efficiency and can achieve extremely high filtration effects by controlling the particle gaps of the wedge-shaped mesh.


The wedge-shaped wire filter element is suitable for high-flow and high-pressure industrial filtration occasions, especially for industrial water, drinking water purification, sand separation and treatment, sewage treatment and other fields.

What is the material of wedge wire?

The main material of wedge wire is stainless steel. Specifically, wedge wire is usually made of high-quality stainless steel materials, such as 302, 304, 304L, 316L, etc.

Where are wedge wire screen tube used?

Industries include water treatment, oil and gas, pulp and paper, mining, and food and beverage.

What is the expected lifespan of wedge wire screen tube?

With proper maintenance, wedge wire screens can have a long lifespan, often exceeding 10 years.

What is a perforated metal anti-skid plate?

A perforated metal anti-skid plate is a type of metal plate that combines a perforated design with anti-slip or anti-skid features. 

Where are perforated metal anti-skid plates used?

Industrial Flooring:

Used in factories, warehouses, and production lines as flooring or walkways to provide a non-slip surface for workers.

Staircases and Platforms:

Used for stairs, ladders, and elevated platforms to provide safe access and reduce the risk of slips and falls.

Vehicle and Transport Decks:

Commonly used in trucks, trailers, or shipping containers to create a stable, non-slip surface for cargo handling.

Outdoor and Marine Applications:

Used in outdoor environments such as docks, walkways, and industrial outdoor installations where water or mud can create slippery conditions.

What are the common types of perforated metal sheets?

Perforated Sheet with Raised Patterns: Features raised sections in the perforated pattern for enhanced anti-slip properties.

Serrated Metal Plate: Uses serrated edges or a textured surface in combination with perforations to improve skid resistance.

What is the material of perforated metal sheet?

▪Stainless Steel: Resistant to corrosion and durable, ideal for harsh environments like marine, chemical, or food processing industries.

▪Aluminum: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, commonly used in transportation, aerospace, and exterior architectural applications.

▪Carbon Steel: Strong and cost-effective, often used in industrial and construction settings.
