What is Wedge Wire Nozzle

JX Filtration October 31, 2024 Wedge Wire Nozzle

The stainless steel wedge wire nozzle consists of a cap base, a cap cover, a trapezoidal screen tube with ribs, and a flow guide tube. At the center axis of the trapezoidal screen tube, there is an inverted flow valve cup fixed to the cap base.

The lower opening accommodates the upper part of the flow guide tube extending into the cap base. The bottom and wall of the flow valve cup, as well as the upper wall of the section accommodating the flow guide tube, feature multiple openings, and there is a floating flow valve core at the top of the flow guide tube.

The series of water caps includes: single-head tubular caps, double-head tubular caps, single-head lever caps, double-head lever caps, long-handle caps, deck single-head caps, clamp double-head caps, dual flow rate caps, and flat caps, among others.

This product has a large flow area (approximately 2-3 times that of plastic gap-type water caps of the same specifications), excellent resistance to aging and pressure, long service life, minimal damage risk, and is safe and reliable with low overall costs, making it a new generation product in the water treatment equipment industry.

Advantages and Economic Analysis

While the unit price of stainless steel trapezoidal wire water caps is several times higher than that of plastic water caps, their advantages far outweigh this cost. After replacing plastic water caps with stainless steel ones, there is almost no risk of damage, resulting in a long service life. In contrast, existing plastic water caps are prone to cracking and leaking resin, which can compromise system safety.

Materials
1Cr18Ni9Ti or 304, 304L, 316, 316L, etc.

Applications of Drain Caps
Stainless steel water caps are widely used in water treatment equipment across industries such as power generation, petroleum, chemical, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. They are key components in water distribution and treatment systems. The ABS reinforced water cap series is suitable for ion exchange agents and ion exchange resins.

The product specifications are complete, including internal threads, external threads, single-head, double-head, and long-handle designs. Water treatment equipment utilizing these caps comes in various forms, such as mechanical filtration equipment, cation and anion exchange resins, floating beds, dual-chamber beds, mixed beds, and gravity filters.
