Wedge Wire Basket

Features

Stainless steel wedge wire screen baskets are constructed with trapezoidal-section wires (wedge wires) welded to support rods, forming a continuous, precise slot structure. Key features include:

• High-precision slot openings (ranging from a few microns to several millimeters) with uniform spacing;
• Robust stainless steel base (typically 304, 316L, or duplex stainless steel) for structural stability;
• Smooth surface (optional polished/ passivated finish) and rigid frame design;
• Corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant base material, adaptable to modified surface treatments.

Advantages

• Superior Filtration Performance: The wedge-shaped slot design prevents clogging by allowing particles to slide off easily, ensuring consistent flow rates and long-term operational efficiency.
• Durability: Stainless steel’s inherent corrosion resistance (against chemicals, saltwater, and moisture) combined with the welded structure delivers excellent mechanical strength, resisting impact and deformation even in harsh conditions.
• Hygiene & Safety: Food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel options meet strict sanitary standards, with non-toxic, easy-to-clean surfaces that avoid contamination.
• Customizability: Available in various sizes, slot widths, and configurations (cylindrical, conical, rectangular) to fit specific equipment and application needs.

Applications

Widely used across industries for screening, filtering, and separation:

New Energy: Sieving lithium battery slurries and photovoltaic silicon materials. particularly rigid and rugged, they can be disassembled without risk of damage to the filter surface.

Food & Beverage: Sieving flour, starch, and sugar; filtering beer, dairy products, and fruit juices.

Water Treatment: Municipal/industrial wastewater filtration, seawater desalination (pretreatment), and drinking water purification.

Chemical & Pharmaceutical: Filtering acids, alkalis, and chemical slurries; processing pharmaceutical raw materials.

Mining & Metallurgy: Ore classification, tailings dewatering, and smelting slag treatment.

Construction of SS Wedge Wire Screen:

We use unique computer-controlled machinery to manufacture our stainless steel wedge wire well screens: we fusion-weld a continuous length of triangular-section stainless profile wire onto support rods. We then wind this “V” shaped profile wire around the support rods along the full length of the screen, which creates a continuous slot opening.
