What is Wedge Wire Screen?

JX Filtration April 16, 2025 Wedge Wire Screen

Wedge Wire Screen represents a major breakthrough in modern industrial filtration technology. This screen tube is made of a unique V-shaped (wedge-shaped) stainless steel wire and a support bar through a fully automatic resistance welding process, forming a uniform and controllable filter gap. Compared with traditional screens, its revolutionary design is reflected in many aspects:

1. Structural innovation.

The core of the wedge wire screen lies in its trapezoidal cross-section stainless steel wire design. This special shape makes the filter gap inside the screen tube small outside and large inside, effectively preventing particle blockage, while facilitating energy accumulation during backwashing to achieve efficient cleaning.

2. Precision manufacturing process.

Modern wedge wire screens use full-process welding technology, which not only ensures the continuous integrity of the product, but also ensures a high consistency in the gap size.

3. Diversified forms.

wedge wire screen can be made into a variety of forms according to the application scenario, including screen tubes, screen plates, and filter elements of various special shapes. According to the filtering direction, it can be divided into two basic forms: "outside in and inside out" and "inside in and outside". Each form can be subdivided into different arrangements to meet various fluid processing needs.

This innovative design concept makes wedge wire screens far superior to traditional filter elements in terms of filtration efficiency, service life and maintenance convenience, becoming a major technological innovation in the field of industrial filtration.
