Wedge Wire Screens

Wedge wire screens are critical in many commercial and industrial applications, from filtering and screening to drying, cleaning and dewatering. These products consist of V-shaped wire wrapped around welded structural supports to create a durable screening solution resistant to clogging. Screen design options can accommodate various shapes, sizes and materials to meet an extensive range of project requirements.

At Hendrick Screen Company, we use various durable wedge wire materials to meet your specifications, including stainless steel, copper-nickel and various specialty alloys. Our innovative design and manufacturing processes ensure outstanding strength and smooth profiles, resulting in a highly durable, clog-resistant product. We can manufacture screens with slot openings as small as 0.002 inches and a standard flatness of 1/8 inches or greater. Designs are available in flat, curved or cylindrical configurations. Cylindrical wedge wire screens can accommodate different flow directions based on radial or axial designs.

Benefits of Wedge Wire Products

Wedge wire screens from Hendrick Screen Company offer many benefits over other screening and filtration methods, including:

• Cost-efficiency: Wedge wire screens are cost-effective filtration solutions because they offer long-term durability, reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintenance. Their efficient filtration properties also help optimize processes, improve productivity and minimize waste, leading to significant cost savings over time.
• Maximum flow rates: Precision manufacturing and tight tolerances allow optimal flow and filtration. Hendrick Screen Company's advanced engineering, design and manufacturing processes ensure the correct wire, panel and open area specifications for your project or process.
• Excellent strength: In high-pressure operations or in applications where more potent particles can impact filtration, strength is critical. Because wedge wire screens have resistance welding, they are far more able to resist damage from problematic stressors. The materials we manufacture our screens from also play a significant role in this strength.
• Low maintenance: Wedge wire screens require minimal maintenance and upkeep, unlike some complex filtration systems with parts that quickly wear out. Simple backflushing is a fast solution to help remove rare, stubborn clogs.
• Temperature resistance: Wedge wire screens containing alloys like stainless steel have excellent heat resistance properties, allowing them to withstand extreme temperatures without deforming or losing their filtration capabilities. This benefit is especially beneficial in applications that involve hot or cold temperatures, like chemical processing or refining.
• Customization options: Hendrick Screen Company can customize wedge wire screens to meet specific filtration requirements. We can configure the slot openings, wire diameters, and overall dimensions according to your unique needs, improving filtration performance and efficiency.

Applications of Wedge Wire for Screening

Wedge wire screens are ideal for various filter and screen applications that require durable, high-quality construction with cost-effective pricing. These products address many challenges in applications where strength, tight tolerances and trouble-free filtration are critical.

Several common industries include:

• Wastewater treatment
• Power generation
• Food and beverage processing
• Petro-chemical applications
• Pulp and paper mills
• Coal and mining

Stainless steel wedge wire screens also work well for decorative applications for floors, walls and panels.
