Screens

Hendrick’s Profile Bar is suited to applications that require added strength or a very flat surface. Using our proprietary construction method, the bars are assembled into U-shaped clips with retaining pins that stake the bars in place, rather than welding the wire to supports. This method provides the added strength that enables Profile Bar screens to withstand heavier loads and makes them more resistant to impact. Plus, their much flatter surface means that Profile Bar screens require less maintenance.

Benefits of Profile Bar Screens

• Superior Construction
  Profile Bar screen bars are more than twice the height and weight of other screen bars; in fact, the individual bars are substantially stronger and stiffer than wedge wire. Less expensive resistance-welded screens require a thicker bar to achieve the desired strength, which limits the open area of the screen. By using a narrower, stronger bar, Profile Bar screens can provide a larger open area.
• High strength
  As a result of our Profile Bar assembly process, the bars are held firmly in place, making them very resistant to bending or tilting out of place. These screens have a greater impact strength than resistance welding wedge wire, making it more resistant to damage from heavy objects.
• Flatter Screens
  Profile Bar screens are an assembly, not a weldment. The height of the bars and the absence of welds result in a very flat, stable screen that is ideal when a mechanical cleaner is required.
• Large open area
  Stronger bars allow greater spacing between the support rods.
• More material options
  In addition to stainless steel, copper-nickel and specialty alloys, Profile Bar products can be produced in aluminum and carbon steel.
• Ability to carry heavy loads, including liquids
• No cracking or breaking like cast grates
• Design flexibility — can be curved, flat or cylindrical
• Longer service life and greater economy of use
  The superior damage resistance of Profile Bar screens when used with a mechanical screen cleaner offers an improved economy and less maintenance than the initially less expensive welded screens. When you design your next screen, we ask that you evaluate the initial price of the Hendrick Profile Bar screen to the long-term cost and maintenance of the welded screen construction.

Hendrick’s resistance welded wedge wire, also known as profile wire or v-wire, is manufactured by wrapping wire helically around supports that are resistance welded together. Our wedge wire screens are fabricated to a variety of shapes, sizes and open areas to meet your project requirements. The result is a very strong product with a smooth surface that is resistant to clogging. This makes wedge wire products ideal for a diverse range of applications, including screening, filtering, dewatering, media retention, sizing, drying and cleaning.

Benefits of Wedge Wire Screens

• Cost effective
• No moving parts
• High-precision sizes
• High mechanical strength, lightweight construction
• Excellent filtration performance
• Minimum clogging
• Maximum flow rates
• Resistant to temperature variation
• Long life

Options for Wedge Wire Screens
