Wedge Wire Screens at the industrial level are made of V-shaped profile and wire in longitudinal support ribs. All these wires and ribs have welded resistance at every contact point, creating a structural sound plug-resistant surface.
Numerous combinations are enabled by the wedge wire screens, from matches to the technical specifications. You can find almost any allow for industries such as water, beverages, food, paper, pulp, oil, and gas. Some of the wedge wire screen types are listed below.
Catalyst Bed Supports:
These screens feature has a precise open area, durable construction, and near non-clogging. Their support grids contribute to standard media retention in all types of vessels. Larger vessel diameters can accommodate installation for manways with the help of grids manufactured in sections. They are available with a support grid, outlet basket, inlet basket, distributor lateral.
Hub and Header Laterals:
These screens can be used for the needed system and disc head vessels for completing collection towards the vessel bottom. These lateral header designs can be used in the flat button vessel distributor or the collector applications.
These screens can easily accommodate center, side, top, or bottom inlet piping. Header laterals and hubs also come with effective cleaning and integral backwash systems for faster processing.
The required systems can be designed for liquid or solid retention for the applications such as exchangers, sand filtration, clay, power plants, carbon towers, along with water systems.
Nozzles & Strainers:
These nozzles are made up of flow requirements in all types of alloy. These are designed for treatment systems or filtration for permitting more usage of media. Non-clogging wedge wire screens in the nozzles are used for water treatments and other industrial applications like flow distributors in demineralizers, under-drain media retention elements, gravity sand filters, and water softeners pressure. Sometimes, they are also used for the bottom vessel collectors across a tray plate with a high open area and a non-plugging design.
Sieve Bend and Flat Screen:
Where high capacity filtration, this option can enjoy the screen applications that have standard durability, self-cleaning, and reusable. These screens will allow water drops through the screen for collecting from all the angles and allow the solids to slide over through the process.
These screens are ideal screens for dewatering, wastewater treatment, and sewage separation systems.
Resin Trap Screens:
The screens are generally used in the housing that can inline and the flow for keeping the expensive media from downstream flowing. Some traps help capture particles of any size by leaving sufficient open area for having the flowing process smoothly.
These are some of the standard types of wedge wire screens that are used industrial-wise for perfect usage. It depends on your requirement, needs, and available equipment what kind of screen type you will be using for the exact purpose.
