Introduction to Wedge Wire Screen

Wedge wire screen, also known as profile wire screen, is a precision-engineered filtration media made of stainless steel. It consists of surface V-shaped wires welded onto support rods (which can be round, flat, or wedge-shaped). This structure creates continuous V-shaped slots with a narrow opening on the outside and a wider space inside.

This design provides excellent mechanical strength, a high open area, and clog-resistant performance. It is widely used in filtration, separation, and screening across various industries.

Key Benefits of BtoSlot Wedge Wire Screens

🔩 High Structural Strength

At BtoSlot, our wedge wire screens are manufactured using advanced contour fusion welding technology. This ensures structural integrity and exceptional strength, even under high pressure or load-bearing applications.

💧 High Flow Rate Efficiency

Compared to conventional filter media such as plastic or perforated screens, our wedge wire screens offer minimal resistance and a larger flow capacity due to their continuous V-shaped slot design.

🚫 Anti-Clogging Design

The narrow outer opening and wider inner slot create a self-cleaning effect. Larger particles are blocked on the screen’s surface, while fluids and smaller particles pass through smoothly—reducing downtime and maintenance.

🌡️ Temperature Resistance

Unlike plastic filters, BtoSlot stainless steel wedge wire screens maintain excellent performance in both high-temperature and cryogenic environments.

🧪 Superior Corrosion Resistance

Using top-grade stainless steel (such as SS304, SS316L), our products withstand acidic, alkaline, and chemically harsh media such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and caustic soda—making them ideal for demanding filtration systems.

🧩 Customizable Slot Sizes

Slot openings range from 20 microns (0.02 mm) to several millimeters. We provide precise, customizable filtration levels without the need for mold fees or tooling costs, meeting your exact application needs.
