WEDGE WIRE SCREENS: SORTING AND FILTERING
Wedge Shaped wire is one of the most common forms used to produce screens. These screens are not only highly customizable, but also suitable for a wide range of industries and applications. These include mining, liquid filtration and architecture. Take time to understand how the shaped wire mesh separates solids and filters liquids to determine how best to meet your requirements.
mining
The mining industry relies on durable wedge screens to classify, filter and process materials of various shapes and sizes. This includes everything from coal and salt to sand and gravel. The wedge-shaped wire mesh is manufactured by welding individual forming wires to the supporting wires. By adjusting the spacing between each wire, the manufacturer can control the amount of material passing through each slot. This configuration can separate materials of various shapes and sizes according to the needs of operation.
Liquid filtration
Wedge shaped wire mesh is widely used and can also filter liquids. The food processing industry uses these screens to separate pulp from juice and washing products, while the oil and gas industry uses these screens to remove pollutants and capture solids. Wastewater and water sanitation facilities even use wedge-shaped wire mesh to prevent garbage and debris from entering the ocean. Due to its customizable characteristics, the shaped wire mesh can be made of a variety of different stainless steel or nickel alloys to prevent corrosion, wear or heat.
architecture
The shaped wire mesh can also be used in the form of floor drain or grid outside the manufacturing facility. These special screens are usually made of stainless steel, because it is a durable and robust choice, and also has good corrosion resistance. Stainless steel also maintains its luster over time, and in addition to its function, it can also increase its visual appeal.
