Stainless steel Wedge Wire filters are popular in various industries. From filtering for food and beverage companies to removing solids from waste water, wedge wire filters are diverse in their application.  Let’s explore:

What is Wedge Wire?

Wedge wire screen filter products are cylinders with slot openings, including wires that go radially on the outer surface of the screen. The wires can, alternatively, be placed axially inside the cylinder. As a trusted wedge wire screen supplier, all SINFT wedge wire filters are durably made with stainless steel.

The size of the cylinders varies from 1/2″ to 35″, depending on the needs of the individual client. This means there is a number of wedge wire screen sizes you can choose from thanks to SINFT’s ability to custom manufacture larger diameters for unique, individual needs. The strength and durability of Newark’s stainless steel wedge wire is unparalleled, and the wedge wire can be combined with various support rod combinations to get a high-quality screen that functions exactly as the client intends. 

What are the Top Industrial Uses for Stainless Steel Wedge Wire?

Wedge wire screen panels have a number of excellent industrial uses. While they can be used for any custom need of a client, the top industrial uses include:

Filtering foods that require a high level of purity, such as soups, chocolate, and cold-pressed juices.

Filtering oil or other viscous products.

Removing solids from brewing products, such as bottled teas and micro brew beers (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic).

Separating animal feed before distributing it to livestock.

Separating manure in the fertilizer industry.

Removing solids from waste water.

Separating solids from dirt in mineral mining and processing.

What Makes Wedge Wire Perfect for Fine Straining and Filtering?

The features of stainless steel wedge wire contribute to their ideal functionality in fine straining and filtering. The design of wedge wire ensures no clogging will occur; giving you an uninterrupted flow. This cuts out downtime and increases production. Likewise, the screens on the wedge wire are welded into ladder-like patterns that make backwashing easy, while also increasing the safety and reliability of the product.

Wedge wire also has a continuous slot opening. This is important because this type of opening dramatically increases the open area that is available. This, in turn, gives a greater access to the water-bearing zone, so more water-based products can be filtered at one time with this type of wire screen.

As you can see, stainless steel wedge wire is an ideal product for a variety of industrial needs. To recap, here are some highlights of wedge wire.

It has fine filtering capabilities, more so than most other wedge wire screen filters on the market.
