Why Industries Choose Wedge Wire Tubes

Wedge wire screen tube, wrapped wire tubes, wire wrapped screen pipe, wire wrapped screen pipe,are manufactured by a v or wedge shaped wire around an internal array of longitudinal support rods.Each intersecting point of these wires is fusion welded,so it has sturdy constriction and good mechanical property.The wedge-shape section plane can avoid blockage,and make sure of the unimpeded water. Slot tubes can be provided with the necessary endpieces for attachments and/or reinforcements. We can supply wedge wire slot tubes to many varied specifications including custom made end fittings to suit your application.

Product Features:

Wedge Wire Screen Tube are commonly used as screening components in a variety of industries to provide screening and filtration of solids or liquids. Wedge wire screen tubes are constructed of V-shaped wires and support rods. These screen tubes are used in a variety of applications including water treatment, oil and gas industry, food and beverage production, mining, and environmental protection.

Wedge wire advantages

Non-clogging: the continuous slot formed by the V-shaped surface wires ensures a two-point contact between the particles and the slot, which minimizes clogging

High-precision slot sizes

Surface filtration: the V-shaped wiresallow easy cleaning by mechanical scraping or back flushing

Longer life time

Low pressure drop

Strong construction: for most applications, the wedge wire screens are self-supporting

Engineered to high standards

FAQ About Wedge Wire Screen Panels

1. How do I choose the right slot size for a wedge wire screen panel?

The ideal slot size depends on the particle size, flow rate, and filtration purpose of your application. Smaller slots provide finer filtration, while larger slots allow higher flow capacity. For water treatment and industrial filtration, manufacturers usually recommend slot sizes based on the percentage of particles that need to be retained.

2. Are wedge wire screen panels suitable for high-pressure environments?

Yes. Wedge wire screen panels are designed with welded support rods and strong structural integrity, making them suitable for high-pressure and heavy-load applications such as petrochemical processing, water intake systems, and mining operations.

3. What is the difference between wedge wire screens and perforated metal screens?

Wedge wire screens offer continuous slot openings with a higher open area, resulting in lower pressure drop and better flow efficiency. Their V-shaped wire structure also reduces clogging and simplifies cleaning compared to traditional perforated metal screens.

4. Can wedge wire screen panels be customized for specific equipment?

Yes. Wedge wire screen panels can be manufactured in different shapes, slot sizes, diameters, materials, and end fittings to match specific filtration systems or industrial equipment requirements. Custom designs are commonly used in water treatment, food processing, and oil filtration systems.

5. How are wedge wire screen panels cleaned and maintained?

Most wedge wire screen panels are designed for easy maintenance. Their smooth surface allows effective cleaning through back flushing, high-pressure water cleaning, or mechanical scraping. The non-clogging slot design also helps reduce maintenance frequency and operational downtime.
