Wedgewire screens are superior for retaining media, filtering and sizing. Compared to wire mesh and perforated metal, wedge wire continuous slot screens have more open area, have very precise openings, are stronger and more durable, are virtually non-clogging and reduce media abrasion.
Wire mesh and perforated metal may be less expensive initially, but wedgewire screens offer easier installation and long-term operating and cost benefits.
WEDGEWIRE SCREENS are all-welded for strength. Each intersection of rod and wire in a wedgewire screen is welded. The strength achieved by this method offers several vital benefits:
Reduced costs, since wedgewire screens have a very long life
Greater resistance to stresses of differential pressure and temperature cycling
