What Are the Advantages of Wedge Wire Basket

JX Filtration April 24, 2025 Wedge Wire Basket

Minimal Clogging and Excellent Dewatering Performance

Wedge wire screens feature a V-shaped (triangular) profile, which means the contact area for solids is small. The narrow slot openings widen at the tip, making it difficult for solids to clog the screen. Even if clogging occurs, it is easy to clean with strong backwashing capabilities, resulting in excellent maintainability.
High Strength and Durability

Compared to wire mesh, perforated plates, or filter cloth, wedge wire screens offer significantly greater strength and durability. Depending on the application environment and material used, they can last almost indefinitely without needing replacement, which greatly reduces maintenance costs. Additionally, wedge wire screens can be manufactured from special materials such as titanium or duplex stainless steel.
Design Flexibility
Thanks to their versatile fabrication process, wedge wire screens can be made into various shapes, including flat, cylindrical, or conical designs, meeting a wide range of application requirements.
Large Filtration Area and Superior Performance
Wedge wire screens feature uniform slot openings that are narrow at the top and wider at the bottom. This unique structure not only prevents clogging but also increases the filtration surface area, significantly enhancing filtration efficiency.
