Wedge wire is a type of profile wire used in the construction of wedge wire screens. It is also known as vee wire, profile wire, or looped wire. Wedge wire is characterized by its unique shape, featuring a V-shaped profile formed by triangular wires wrapped around support rods.
The construction of wedge wire involves wrapping the triangular-shaped wire around a set of parallel support rods. The shape of the wire and the spacing between the support rods determine the slot openings and the open area of the screen.
Overall, wedge wire’s unique shape and construction make it an excellent choice for applications requiring precise separation, high open area, self-cleaning properties, and durability.
