Wedge Wire Screen Cylinder

Product Introduction

Our wedge wire screen cylinder, also commonly called Johnson screen tube, is manufactured by welding triangular profile wire onto parallel support rods. It forms continuous V-shaped slots across the screen surface. Compared with woven mesh and punched plate filters, this unique opening structure greatly reduces blocking risk. It works well for solid-liquid, solid-gas separation and impurity interception in many industrial filtration systems.

Product & Company Advantages – Anping Haopeng Metal Wire Mesh Co., Ltd.

We are a professional wedge wire screen manufacturer based in Anping, China’s well-known wire mesh hometown. We handle the whole production process in-house, from wire forming, automatic welding, surface finishing to final inspection and packing.

We tailor slot precision, dimensions and material plans according to your actual working conditions. Both small trial orders and large batch orders are accepted.

Every batch of screen cylinders goes through strict checks on slot uniformity, welding quality and roundness before shipment.

Our team provides practical selection and installation suggestions. We maintain steady lead times and can prioritise production for urgent orders.

Our products are shipped to multiple overseas markets, and we support third-party inspection if required by buyers.


Customer Feedback

Many buyers tell us our screen cylinders have steady and even slot gaps, and they face far fewer clogging issues during continuous operation. Most users find the service life much longer than ordinary woven filter mesh.

Clients with backwash systems comment that our screens clean easily, and the flow rate bounces back reliably after backwashing.

Engineering customers mention we revise drawings quickly, and custom flanged or threaded ends fit their existing equipment perfectly.

Customers operating in corrosive environments are satisfied with the stable performance of our 316L and duplex steel screens.


FAQ

Q1: Can you make non-standard sizes and custom slot gaps?

A1: Yes. We produce custom items following your drawings or technical requirements.

Q2: Which material fits seawater service?

A2: 316L works for mild corrosion. 2205 or 2507 duplex stainless steel is recommended for long-term seawater exposure.

Q3: What is the maximum working pressure the cylinder can take?

A3: It depends on outer diameter, length, material and support rod layout. We will provide a pressure reference once we confirm your full parameters.

Q4: Can I get samples?

A4: Samples are available. Sample cost and freight will be discussed separately.

Q5: What is the correct way to clean wedge wire screen cylinders?

A5: Backwashing is the preferred method. Offline cleaning can use ultrasonic cleaning or high-pressure water jet. Avoid hard scraping tools which may damage the slots.

Q6: How long is your production lead time?

A6: Regular specifications can be delivered fast. Custom products normally take 15-20 days, depending on order quantity and processing difficulty.

RELATED FAQ
What is Wedge Wire Screen Tube?

The wedge wire filter element is a filter element composed of a "V" shaped stainless steel wire and a stainless steel support strip. Its smooth surface is the filter surface, and the gap is a strip, which belongs to the surface filtration form.

What are the primary applications of wedge wire Screen Tube?

Wedge wire filter elements are widely used in many fields, mainly including petrochemical, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, water treatment.

What is the difference between wedge wire filter elements and other wire mesh filter elements?

The wedge-shaped wire filter element has a higher filtration efficiency and can achieve extremely high filtration effects by controlling the particle gaps of the wedge-shaped mesh.


The wedge-shaped wire filter element is suitable for high-flow and high-pressure industrial filtration occasions, especially for industrial water, drinking water purification, sand separation and treatment, sewage treatment and other fields.

What is the material of wedge wire?

The main material of wedge wire is stainless steel. Specifically, wedge wire is usually made of high-quality stainless steel materials, such as 302, 304, 304L, 316L, etc.

Where are wedge wire screen tube used?

Industries include water treatment, oil and gas, pulp and paper, mining, and food and beverage.

What is the expected lifespan of wedge wire screen tube?

With proper maintenance, wedge wire screens can have a long lifespan, often exceeding 10 years.

What is a perforated metal anti-skid plate?

A perforated metal anti-skid plate is a type of metal plate that combines a perforated design with anti-slip or anti-skid features. 

Where are perforated metal anti-skid plates used?

Industrial Flooring:

Used in factories, warehouses, and production lines as flooring or walkways to provide a non-slip surface for workers.

Staircases and Platforms:

Used for stairs, ladders, and elevated platforms to provide safe access and reduce the risk of slips and falls.

Vehicle and Transport Decks:

Commonly used in trucks, trailers, or shipping containers to create a stable, non-slip surface for cargo handling.

Outdoor and Marine Applications:

Used in outdoor environments such as docks, walkways, and industrial outdoor installations where water or mud can create slippery conditions.

What are the common types of perforated metal sheets?

Perforated Sheet with Raised Patterns: Features raised sections in the perforated pattern for enhanced anti-slip properties.

Serrated Metal Plate: Uses serrated edges or a textured surface in combination with perforations to improve skid resistance.

What is the material of perforated metal sheet?

▪Stainless Steel: Resistant to corrosion and durable, ideal for harsh environments like marine, chemical, or food processing industries.

▪Aluminum: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, commonly used in transportation, aerospace, and exterior architectural applications.

▪Carbon Steel: Strong and cost-effective, often used in industrial and construction settings.
