Understanding the Structure of Wedge Wire Screens
What Makes Wedge Wire Screens Unique
Stainless steel wedge wire (also known as profile wire or V-wire) features a unique V-shaped or triangular cross-section. This distinctive shape enables wedge wire screens to offer significant performance advantages. The wires are welded onto support rods to form continuous, precisely sized slots, providing both accurate filtration and high mechanical strength.
The triangular profile varies in height, width, and nose/corner radius. This design ensures only particles smaller than the slot opening can pass through, making wedge wire screens ideal for fine filtration under demanding conditions.
Advantages of the Continuous Slot Design
The constant slots wedge slot design enables a series of essential benefits. It provides a great open area to maximize flow rates while maintaining highly efficient filtration. Clogging is prevented through the maintenance of particles moving off from the slots rather than getting stuck. Self-cleaning through the wedge profile helps in maintaining consistent performance and reducing maintenance.
Benefits of Wedge Wire Screens in Industrial Practice
Non-Clogging Operation in Harsh Environments
One of the key reasons why wedge wire screens are employed instead of other screens in other industries is that they are non-clogging. By forming spaces between the V-shaped wires in wedge shapes, the fluid moves freely, while solid filtering can be quite successful. This means they are quite handy in systems where sediment or particulate matter could lead to continuous clogging in other mesh filters.
Durability and Corrosion Resistance
Another characteristic of wedge screen technology is durability. Wedge wire mesh is very strong and corrosion-resistant, with high strength. The products are manufactured using 304 or 316L stainless steel, depending on the requirements of the clients, thus making them suitable for long service life even when exposed to aggressive chemicals or high pressure.
Customized Solutions from Our Manufacturing Facility
Our Expertise in Stainless Steel Screen Manufacturing
Founded in 2009, Tianjin Jingzhou Metal Products Co., Ltd. specializes in the production and sales of stainless steel wire. With over a decade of experience and ISO9001 certification, we focus on manufacturing customized stainless steel wedge wire screens tailored to your specific application needs. Our 18,000 square meter facility houses three advanced production lines, capable of handling the entire process from cold drawing to final packaging. Upholding a customer-centric approach, we are committed to providing tailored solutions to meet diverse requirements.
Highlight Product: Wedge wire-W104
This wedge wire screens, constructed from precision-welded V-slot wires and support rods, deliver uniform gaps for high filtering accuracy and strong anti-clogging. Ideal for liquid/gas/solid separation, they are widely used in water treatment, petroleum, chemical, food, paper, and mining filtration systems.
Applications Across Multiple Industries
Petrochemical Industry
In oil & gas operations, our wedge screen products serve as sand control screens inside wells or pre-filtration elements in refining processes. They are widely used in industries such as water treatment, oil and gas, due to their ability to withstand high temperatures and corrosive fluids.
Wastewater Treatment Systems
Wedge wire screens are indispensable components in wastewater treatment plants where they act as intake screens, grit separators, or tertiary treatment filters. Their non-clogging design ensures uninterrupted operation even under heavy solid loads.
Food & Beverage Processing
Hygienic-grade stainless steel makes our screens safe for direct contact with food products. In breweries and juice processing plants, our sanitary-grade wedge wire filters remove pulp and sediment without affecting taste or aroma.
Why Choose Our Customized Wedge Wire Screens
Tailored Designs for Specific Needs
Unlike standard off-the-shelf solutions offered by many other wedge wire screen manufacturers, we provide fully customized designs based on your operational parameters—slot width tolerance, material grade (304/316L), shape (flat/cylindrical), connection type (flange/threaded), etc.
Quality Assurance You Can Trust
Every order undergoes rigorous quality checks, including spectrometer analysis for material verification and tensile testing for mechanical strength. Infrared Detector: Used to monitor and minimize dimensional variation across each coil, ensuring consistency from batch to batch. We also use 1D/2D projectors for dimensional accuracy during inspection stages.
