What Is the Advantage of Wedge Wire Basket

JX Filtration May 21, 2025 Wedge Wire Basket

Compared to metal mesh or perforated screens, wedge wire filter elements offer superior flow capacity and filtration precision due to their unique continuous wedge-shaped openings.

Thanks to the fully welded construction, the product achieves not only strict structural integrity but also precise and consistent slot sizes. Compared to conventional welding techniques, fully welded wedge wire screen elements—such as screen pipes, water well screens, hub laterals, resin traps, and screen panels—feature smooth surfaces, minimal burrs, uniform slots, and effective contaminant retention without leakage.

Wedge wire filter baskets are among the best filtration materials in water treatment and solid-liquid separation applications. They are widely used in industrial water, drinking water purification, sand separation and treatment, wastewater treatment, solid screening, sludge dewatering, and more.

The main distinction of sintered stainless steel filter baskets lies in the use of high-precision welding processes. After the sintered stainless steel mesh is rolled into a cylinder, the seam is welded with high roundness requirements. The weld is then ground smooth, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing appearance and preparing it for final integration.

The smooth side of the filter basket is the filtration surface, and the slot openings are shaped like narrow slits, allowing for surface filtration. It is an ideal filtration element for a wide range of automatic filtration systems, such as automatic backwash filters, scraper self-cleaning filters, disc self-cleaning filters, and suction self-cleaning filters, and is extensively applied in various fluid filtration industries.
