Wedge wire mesh (commonly known as a wedge wire screen or profile wire) is a highly durable, rigid metal structure engineered for precision filtering, sizing, dewatering, and solid-liquid separation. Unlike standard woven wire mesh, it is made by resistance-welding V-shaped profile wires onto orthogonal support rods. These flat, rigid surfaces are primarily used in vibrating screens, sizing decks, or architectural floor grates. They excel in mining, aggregate classification, and heavy-duty industrial washing processes.
| Specification / Parameter | Details & Capabilities |
|---|---|
| Non-Clogging Design | The V-shaped surface wires create continuous slot openings that widen inwardly. This design ensures particles only touch at two points, allowing near-size particles to pass through easily without clogging or blinding the screen. |
| High Structural Strength | The continuous welding at every intersection provides immense structural rigidity. This allows the screens to handle high pressures, heavy loads, and abrasive materials much better than standard mesh. |
| accurate Slot Dimensions | Precision engineering achieves uniform gaps (often down to 20 microns), ensuring highly reliable and consistent filtration results. |
| Low Maintenance | The smooth, uninterrupted surface allows for easy physical cleaning, backwashing, or scraping, minimizing operational downtime. |
