Wedge wire resin trap strainer

Wedge wire resin trap strainers are very effective in wells of this type since they can be manufactured with very small slot size and yet still maintain the necessary open area to minimize friction head loss. Most continuous wire wrap screen is manufactured from stainless steel rather than carbon steel in order to avoid problems which often leads to accelerated corrosion.

Features of Wedge wire resin trap strainer

The wedge wire element in a Resin Trap/ Strainer is normally a slot tube, but can also be a cylinder. A Resin Trap / Strainer is normally closed on one side and has a flange on the other. They can be made for flow-in-to-out (FITO) or flow-out-to-in (FOTI) filtration.

Principle of Wedge wire resin trap strainer

A resin trap/strainer normally serves to retain particles in a process flow. The quantity of particles is normally very low, so that cleaning can be done during flow interruption.

Application of Wedge wire resin trap strainer

A resin trap is normally used: to capture expensive resin that escapes from a treatment vessel by accident, to protect equipment further downstream. A strainer is often used in tubes to block unwanted particles or dirt that would otherwise damage downstream equipment. Cleaning is carried out by removing the strainer from the tube.
