Wedge wire screen

What are wedge wire screens and how do they work?

Wedge wire screens are specially developed for separating solid materials from process or wastewater, achieving optimal results at low costs. The slot openings run perpendicular to the direction of flow, thereby separating the liquid from the solids. The wedge wire screens rotate in a specific direction, allowing them to separate the solid materials from the process and wastewater. The operation of the wedge wire screens is similar to that of a sieve.

Wedge wire screens have profiles that are perpendicular to a curved sieve shape and are used with a slot width of 0.5 to 2 mm. Because the wedge wire screens are round and have a symmetrical shape, they can be flipped over and last longer. They are also easy to replace. Wedge wire screens are available in a wide range of materials, from stainless steel to chrome. Wedge wire screens can be delivered in flat plates, cylinders, and bends. As a result, wedge wire screens operate without clogging, have an optimal screening surface, and provide a longer lifespan due to a wide range of materials.

Applications of wedge wire screens

Wedge wire screens can be applied in various industries, such as:

• Water treatment
• Biogas plants
• Breweries
• Chemical industry
• Potash and salt industry
• Food industry
• Starch industry
• Sugar industry
• Architecture / Home and garden

Advantages of wedge wire screens

Wedge wire screens offer several advantages. Among them, they have a high capacity due to their cleaning action or through the cleaning device that is continuously used and not changed. The wedge wire screen is not dependent on the weight of the solid material, which results in high separation accuracy. The wedge wire screens take up little space due to their compact construction. This means that the wedge wire screens have low installation costs. The wedge wire screens require minimal maintenance, as some mechanical moving parts are not used. This leads to low operating costs.
