What are Advantages of SS Wedge Wire Nozzles

JX Filtration October 10, 2024 Wedge Wire Nozzle

Wedge wire nozzles are constructed by wrapping stainless steel wedge-shaped wire at equal intervals and welding it onto supporting rods. They consist of parts such as the screen pipe, cover plate, nut, and washer.

Types of stainless steel wedge wire nozzles:

Long-handle nozzles
Double-ended nozzles
Standard nozzles
Single flow rate nozzles
Dual flow rate nozzles

These nozzles are a new generation of water treatment equipment, offering excellent aging resistance, pressure resistance, near-zero wear, and high safety and reliability at a low overall cost.

Stainless steel wedge wire nozzles are the preferred choice for high-end water treatment equipment due to their high strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life. Typically made from 304 or 316 stainless steel, they offer excellent corrosion resistance. Their sizes and specifications are also highly customizable to meet specific operational requirements.

Although the unit price of stainless steel wedge wire nozzles is several times higher than that of plastic nozzles, their advantages far outweigh the cost. Once installed, stainless steel nozzles are highly durable and have a long lifespan, whereas plastic nozzles tend to crack and release resin. Due to their lower strength, plastic nozzles are more prone to breakage, which can jeopardize the safe operation of equipment.
