Wedge Wire Side Hill Screen Panel Surfaces

Wedge Wire Side Hill Screen Panel Surfaces are primarily influenced by the screen width, the slot opening, and the wire size (width). The chart below shows typical dewatering capacities in US gallons per minute (GPM) per foot of screen width. Actual capacity varies depending on the feed content and desired efficiency.

Screening efficiency and solids capacity are directly related to the length (arc length). Longer arc lengths should be considered for feed containing a high percentage of solids.

The dewatering capacity of cross flow dewatering screens such as the sieve bend can be greatly increased by tilting the wedge wires. The wedge wires are tilted 2 to 7 degrees depending on the wire size and slot openin.

Advantages of Wedge Wire Side Hill Screen Panel Surfaces

-- A continuous slot opening which significantly increases the available open area, thus providing a greater access to the water bearing zone.
-- A 'V' shaped wedge wire which avoids clogging and ensures uninterrupted flow.
-- A uniform and efficient well development due to the continuous slot opening.
-- Offering great strength. precision, long service life.

Application of Wedge Wire Side Hill Screen Panel Surfaces

Wedge wire sieves are used in mineral processing plants and food processing plants for sizing and washing. These industrial profile wire screens are also used to process corn for ethanol and corn starch, as well as to process sugar, animal waste and fertilizer.
