Premium Wedge Wire Filters & Strainers
Engineered for Maximum Flow, Minimal Clogging, and Extreme Durability
Our Wedge Wire Filters represent the advanced evolution of industrial filtration. Unlike standard mesh or perforated screens, our filters are constructed using high-precision V-shaped profile wire, providing a superior self-cleaning surface and unmatched structural integrity. Whether for oilfield debris management or fine chemical processing, these filters are built to perform under the toughest conditions.
Technical Advantages
- Non-Clogging V-Wire Technology
The hallmark of our wedge wire is the V-shaped profile. This design creates a slot that widens inwardly, ensuring that particles only have two points of contact on the surface. Any particle that passes the initial slot width will flow through freely, virtually eliminating clogging and reducing maintenance downtime.
- Exceptional Structural Strength
As seen in our Heavy-Duty series, we utilize external reinforcing rings and heavy-duty longitudinal support rods. This all-welded construction allows our filters to withstand high collapse pressures and intense mechanical vibrations without deforming.
- High Open Area & Flow Efficiency
The continuous slot design offers a significantly higher open area percentage compared to perforated pipes or woven mesh. This leads to:
- Lower Pressure Drop: Reduced energy costs for your pumping systems.
- Increased Throughput: Process more fluid in less time without sacrificing filtration quality.
- Precision Customization
Utilizing CNC-controlled welding, we can achieve slot tolerances as tight as 50 microns. We customize every element—from the wire profile and support rod shape to the end fittings—to match your specific process requirements.
