Wedge Wire Screen – Stainless Steel Slot Screen for Filtration & Separation
Wedge wire screen, also known as wedge wire filter screen, slot screen, or profile wire screen, is a high-performance filtration and separation product widely used in industrial applications. It is manufactured by welding V-shaped (wedge-shaped) profile wires onto support rods, forming continuous slots that provide precise filtration and excellent structural strength.
The unique wedge-shaped design ensures that the slot openings widen inward, preventing clogging and allowing smooth flow of liquids and solids. This self-cleaning structure makes wedge wire screens highly efficient and durable in demanding environments.
At WireMeshi, we supply high-quality stainless steel wedge wire screens in various forms, including panels, cylinders, filter tubes, and custom-engineered solutions for industries such as water treatment, mining, food processing, and petrochemical filtration.
