Wedge wire

1. Filter cycle: during the filter cycle, the solids are deposited on the smooth surface. This ‘cake’ acts as an extra filter for finer particles. The fines that slip through do not become lodged in the conical slots. 2. Backwash cycle: by reversing the flow, the cake and dirt are removed from the filter surface.

Technology

Wedge wire is a welded stainless steel construction mainly used for filtration, separation and retention of media. It is made of surface profiles, usually V-shaped, that are resistance welded onto support profiles.

The distance between the surface profiles is controlled very accurately and forms the slot opening  through which the filtrate flows.

FOTI – FITO

The direction of the filtering flow is determined by the position of the surface profiles in relation to the support profiles. Wedge wire tubes are either flow out to in (FOTI) or flow in to out (FITO).

Wedge wire advantages

  • Non-clogging: the continuous slot formed by the V-shaped surface wires ensures a two-point contact between the particles and the slot, which minimizes clogging
  • High-precision slot sizes
  • Surface filtration: the V-shaped wires allow easy cleaning by mechanical scraping or back flushing
  • Longer life time
  • Low pressure drop
  • Strong construction: for most applications, the wedge wire screens are self-supporting
  • Engineered to high standards

Product overview

Almost all shapes and sizes can be developed according to the customer’s requirements, starting from two basic forms:

  • Slot tubes – radial external wire
  • Flat screens
