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
Wedge wire screens
Continuous-slot panels, cylinders and baskets made from profile wire and supports. Slot width controls the opening; wire face, support spacing and flow direction determine area and structural behavior.

Construction
Slot size, flow face and support spacing
- Opening fractionFor parallel slots, fraction = slot / (slot + wire face width). A 0.50 mm slot and 2.0 mm face give 20% before rods, margins and blocked zones.
- Slot taperA widening passage behind the narrow working opening can reduce particle wedging. The intended working face must face the incoming flow.
- Rod layoutCloser support rods shorten the span but occupy area. Include differential pressure, span and mechanical loads in the structural design.

Applications
Continuous slots serve retention and dewatering.
Media retention
Keep resin or other process media inside vessel internals.
Dewatering
Drain liquid from retained solids on panels.
Intake cylinders
Provide screened area around inlet or distributor assemblies.
Inspect slots on the working face
Check the useful surface, including edges and joints.
01Slot widthMeasure openings at several positions.
02Wire and rodsCheck profiles, support spacing and weld continuity.
03Installed formCheck flatness or roundness and identify the working face.

Questions before ordering
Is a 0.10 mm slot an absolute 100 µm rating?
It is a geometric slot size. Particle shape, orientation and process conditions affect passage; an efficiency claim requires a defined test.
Can flow be reversed?
Only when the profile, support structure and cleaning process accommodate the reversal. Reversal changes the loading and may change separation behavior.
Does a smaller wedge-wire slot always improve filtration?
A smaller slot may increase retention but reduces available flow area and may foul sooner. Compare solids, flow, cleaning and support requirements rather than choosing slot width alone.
