Wedge Wire Filter, Johnson Screen | High-Strength Filtration
The wedge wire filter, also known as a Johnson screen, is a precision-engineered filtration element widely used in water treatment, petrochemical, food processing, mining, and industrial separation processes. Its design is based on a V-shaped (wedge-shaped) wire profile welded onto support rods, creating continuous slots that ensure high open area, mechanical strength, and excellent non-clogging performance.
Key Features
Non-clogging slot design: V-wire profile minimizes plugging and ensures continuous flow.
High mechanical strength: Robust welded construction withstands high differential pressure and backwashing cycles.
Wide range of slot sizes: Typically 0.05 mm to 3.0 mm, customizable based on application.
Material options: Stainless steel 304, 316L, Duplex 2205, Hastelloy, or Titanium for corrosion resistance.
High open area ratio: Up to 60% open area, reducing energy consumption and improving flow efficiency.
Customizable geometry: Available as cylindrical screen baskets, flat panels, lateral assemblies, nozzles, and drum screens.
Technical Parameters
Material: AISI 304 / 316L / Duplex stainless steel / special alloys
Slot size range: 0.05 mm – 3.0 mm
Diameter range: 25 mm – 1200 mm (customizable)
Length: up to 6000 mm, depending on design
Open area: 10% – 60% (application-specific)
Filtration rating: 20 µm – 3000 µm equivalent retention
Flow direction: Inside-to-outside or outside-to-inside configurations
Connection types: Threaded ends, flanges, welded fittings, or custom headers
Applications
Water & Wastewater Treatment: Pre-filtration, intake screening, and protection of RO membranes.
Petrochemical Industry: Catalyst retention, hydroprocessing reactor internals, and gas-liquid separation.
Food & Beverage: Sugar, starch, brewery, and edible oil filtration.
Mining & Minerals: Dewatering, coal screening, and slurry separation.
Power Plants: Cooling water intake, boiler feed protection, and condensate filtration.
Advantages Over Conventional Filters
Longer service life due to welded construction
Reduced maintenance downtime
Precision slot sizing for consistent particle retention
High resistance to corrosion and abrasion
Suitable for continuous backwashing and CIP (Clean-In-Place) systems
The wedge wire filter (Johnson screen) offers a reliable, customizable, and cost-effective solution for industries requiring robust solid-liquid separation. With its precision slot sizing, high open area, and superior strength, it outperforms conventional wire mesh or perforated plate filters, ensuring efficiency and durability in demanding environments.
