Dec. 10, 2025

A wedge wire screen filter is a kind of filtering equipment which is also known as a wedge mesh filter element. It is widely used in various industrial fields due to its unique structure and excellent performance. 

Structure and Material:The wedge wire screen filter is usually made of stainless steel wedge wires and support rods through welding. The wedge wires are arranged in a spiral or parallel manner, and the support rods are used to maintain the shape and strength of the screen. This structure makes the filter have the characteristics of large strength, high hardness, and uniform.

Working Principle:When the fluid passes through the wedge wire screen filter, the solid particles in the fluid are intercepted by the wedge wires due to the limitation of the size, while the fluid can pass through the smoothly, thus achieving the purpose of solid-liquid separation.

Advantages:It has a large filtering area and high dirt-holding capacity, and can achieve deep filtration. The filtering accuracy ranges from 25 to 800μm, which can meet the filtering requirements of different media. At the same time, it has good chemical compatibility, large flow rate, low pressure difference, and can be cleaned and regenerated, with a long service life.

Application Fields:It is widely used in pharmaceutical industry, food industry, electronic industry, petrochemical industry, mining, water treatment and other fields. For example, it can be used for filtering suspended solids and particles in water bodies, as well as for the separation and processing of pharmaceutical residues or potions.
