The smooth profile and enhanced strength of wedge wire screens come from their design. The wire has a wedge or V-shaped profile, giving it the name of V-wire. To fashion a screen, the wire is wrapped around vertically placed support rods; each junction of the support rod and wire is then welded together to increase the strength of the resulting screen.
This is also a very versatile design; the design can be fully customized for any application depending on the number and placement of the support rods and wires, along with changing the size of the openings between the rods and wires.
No matter what shape your wire filtration need demands, chances are good a wedge wire screen can be fabricated in the exact specifications you need. Many common shapes include cylindrical, semi-cylindrical, flat panel, tubes and baskets, sieve bend and others.
