Why can Wedge Wire Screens be used in Vacuum Drum Filters?
In the field of solid-liquid separation, vacuum drum filters can process ore pulp, chemical slurry or various types of industrial wastewater. However, its core filter element, the traditional filter screen, often faces severe challenges: clogging of fine particles, structural deformation under high load, and wear caused by repeated cleaning. These problems drag down the filtration efficiency, push up the operating cost, and become a lingering pain point in many production links.
The birth of the wedge wire screen is to end these troubles. It is not a simple weaving of metal wires. Its core secret lies in its unique wedge-shaped gap design. This V-shaped gap structure that gradually changes from coarse to fine is like a smart channel carefully designed for fluids:
- Wide inlet: Easily accept large particles and fibrous materials, greatly reducing the risk of initial clogging.
- Narrow outlet: Precisely intercept the target fine particles to ensure consistent separation accuracy.
The wedge wire screen tube injects powerful kinetic energy into the vacuum drum filter with its structural advantages:
- Extraordinary anti-clogging: The self-cleaning characteristics of the wedge channel make it difficult for particles to get stuck and accumulate in the gap. Even when dealing with viscous, fibrous or high-solid complex materials, the frequency of downtime for cleaning can be significantly reduced.
- Excellent precision and stability: The gap width of laser welding or precision molding is highly uniform. The filtration accuracy is stable and reliable, providing quality assurance for subsequent processes.
- Strong and durable: Selected high-quality materials such as 316L stainless steel, the overall structure is strong and stable, fearless of vacuum negative pressure shock, mechanical vibration and frequent backwashing, and the service life is far longer than traditional filter cloth or ordinary filter screen.
At the site of slurry splashing and at the end of the pipeline where chemical slurry flows, the wedge mesh screen is becoming the core force of the vacuum drum filter to continuously release productivity with its precision, tenacity and efficiency. It is not only a precise filter element, but also a reliable partner for enterprises to reduce costs, increase efficiency and enhance competitiveness.
