Wedge wire screen known as side hill screens, parabolic screens, run down screens, gravity screens and DSM screens, can be custom designed to separate solids from liquids in various applications including food processing, pulp and paper, waste water cleanup, surface water intakes, corn wet milling, coal preparation, and gold recovery.

Wedge wire screen consists of a concave curved profile wire screen mounted in a frame with the screen openings perpendicular to the flow. Wedge wire screen has greater capacity than a flat wedge screen due to forces exerted as material flows against the curved surface.

Advantages of Wedge Wire Screen for Food & Beverage Processing

• Non-clogging: the continuous slot formed by the V-shaped surface wires ensures a two-point contact between the particles and the slot, which minimizes clogging.

• High-precision slot sizes: precise slot sizes are available to meet customer´s requirements.

• Surface filtration: the V-shaped surface wires allow easy cleaning by mechanical scraping or back flushing.

• Low pressure-drop.

• Strong construction: for most applications, the wedge wire screen is self-supporting, because of the welding at each intersection.

• High efficiency: continuous slot opening.

• Large flow rate: V shaped profile wire ensures a uninterrupted flow.

Application of Wedge Wire Screen for Food & Beverage Processing

Used in industries such as Sugar, Coal Mining & Quarrying, Mineral Processing, Cement, and Industrial & Urban Effluent Treatment etc.

Used as a pre-filter in urban & industrial waste treatment plants to improve the performance of the clarifier by drastically reducing the load.

Used for fiber removal in Starch industry.
