Wedge wire screen panels
Wedge wire screen panels use parallel profile wires joined to support members to create continuous slots across a rigid surface.
Product detailsDrawing-based manufacturing
Filter panels and framed screens
Flat or curved mesh panels, perforated screens and framed inserts for installed screening surfaces. Span, frame stiffness, perimeter sealing and replacement access matter as much as aperture.

Construction
Frame stiffness and clear screening area
- Unsupported spanIntermediate supports shorten the free span. The screen must not pull away from the edge under load.
- Modular jointsJoints between panels need the same bypass control as the outer frame. Use repeatable locating and sealing details.
- Curved panelsSpecify radius and orientation. Flat blank width differs from installed chord width.

| Construction | Application and fit | Confirm first | Find a product |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flat filter panels | The installation needs one flat screen across a clear opening. | Panel size, clear opening, working face, edge and support spacing. | Filter matching products |
| Framed screens | The screen requires a rigid removable frame or sealing edge. | Frame section, outside size, fixing points, media and seal. | Filter matching products |
Filter panels and framed screens
Applications
Panels provide installed, replaceable screening surfaces.
Liquid screening
Framed mesh and wedge-wire modules separate process solids.
Pre-screens
Perforated panels protect finer media downstream.
Equipment internals
Modular surfaces reduce the size of each maintenance part.
Check frame geometry and screen restraint
Squareness and flatness affect both fit and sealing.
01FrameMeasure diagonals, fixing centres, flatness and clear opening.
02AttachmentCheck edge continuity and mesh slack.
03Panel jointsCheck overlap, gasket seating and adjacent-module positions.

Questions before ordering
Can a larger panel use the same mesh?
Not automatically. More unsupported span increases deformation and joint load. Support spacing and frame stiffness may need to change.
How is working area calculated?
Use the clear screened surface, then allow for media open area and obstruction from bars, frames and overlaps. Outside dimensions overstate the working area.
When does a screen panel need intermediate supports?
Span, media stiffness and differential pressure determine the need for supports. Provide the mounting grid and an allowable deflection or approved reference panel.
