Wedge wire screen panels use parallel profile wires joined to support members to create continuous slots across a rigid surface. The slot, working face, support spacing, frame and installation loads must be defined together for separation, dewatering or media-retention duty.

| Parameter | Specification | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Slot opening | Slot width and tolerance defined for the separation duty | — |
| Wire and support profiles | Profile wire joined to support rods | — |
| Panel mounting | Flat or drawing-defined panel with agreed frame and fixings | — |
| Material | Stainless steel grade or specified alloy agreed for the application | Confirm compatibility of media, supports, connections and joining materials with the process and cleaning chemistry. |
| Dimensions | Manufactured to the approved drawing and agreed tolerances | Provide panel length, width, thickness, frame, fixing holes and support span. Identify the working face and flow direction, including any reverse flow during cleaning. |
| Service conditions | Process medium, temperature, flow and differential pressure to be specified | Limits depend on the complete construction; no universal pressure or temperature rating applies. |
| Inspection | Dimensions, media identification, joints and visual condition | Special tests require an agreed method, sampling plan and acceptance criteria. |
| Order basis | Quantity, sample stage, documentation and packing agreed at quotation | Lead time and minimum order quantity follow the confirmed material and manufacturing scope. |
| Specification example | Example slot options: 0.10 / 0.15 / 0.20 mm | — |
Materials: Stainless steel grade or specified alloy agreed for the application
Wedge wire panels use parallel profile wires supported by transverse members to form continuous slots. Slot width controls the geometric opening, while wire profile, support spacing and panel span influence the structure. Slot width alone does not define load capacity or separation performance.
Provide panel length, width, thickness, frame, fixing holes and support span. Identify the working face and flow direction, including any reverse flow during cleaning.
Review solids size and shape, flow distribution, abrasion, temperature and cleaning access. Compare the panel opening and support arrangement with the equipment loading before confirming the design.
Confirm the drawing revision, material designation, critical dimensions and inspection documents before manufacture. Agree how media identity, joints, edges and cleanliness will be checked. If a sample or first article is required, define the approval step before repeat production. Flow, pressure or retention testing must include the test method and acceptance limit; appearance alone does not verify filtration performance.
Slotted surfaces for separating liquid from solids under defined loading conditions.
Retaining supported process media where the slot and media size are compatible.
Replacement panels matched to the existing frame, support span and fixing pattern.
Include these details when discussing your requirements.
No. The profile, support spacing, panel span, flow direction and loading are also needed. Identical slot widths can have different mechanical behavior.
Provide the process fluid or gas, temperature, cleaning chemicals and corrosion exposure. The grade must suit every wetted component, including supports, joints and seals. Final compatibility is confirmed against the actual service conditions.
Provide panel length, width, thickness, frame, fixing holes and support span. Identify the working face and flow direction, including any reverse flow during cleaning. Also include material, operating conditions, required quantity and any sample or inspection-document requirements.
Material records, dimensional inspection and other agreed documents can be included in the order scope. Specify traceability, document type and any special testing before quotation.
