In daily interactions with customers, many often ask which industries our wedge wire screens can be used in. Today, we’ll provide an overview of the main application fields of wedge wire products.
Wedge wire is a type of metal wire with a trapezoidal or wedge-shaped cross-section, the main materials used is stainless steel grades such as SS304, 316, 904, 2205,Hastelloy and etc.. Customed material can also available for special requirements.
The key features of wedge wire screens include: uniform slot openings, high filtration accuracy, strong resistance to pressure and impact, excellent corrosion resistance, a V-shaped structure that resists clogging, and the ability to be backwashed with self-cleaning properties.
Thanks to these advantages, wedge wire is widely used in filtration and screening applications. Below are the main product types and their related application fields:
1.Wastewater treatment, drinking water filtration, industrial effluent treatment, etc.
