Profile Wire Screen

Profile wire screen is an exacting screen made from type 304 Stainless Steel by wrapping a profile wire cylindrical around longitudinal placed support rods. It is manufactured to specification from wedge-shaped wire with the wide part of the wedge at the top, and supported underneath by cross members. Its effectiveness lies in the wedge shape of the opening. As material passes through, blinding is eliminated since the slot widens. Profile wire is used in a number of dewatering applications, notably in any sizing operation where accuracy is vital and blinding could be a problem. Mining and aggregate screening, food processing and sizing in the pulp and paper industry are typical applications.

For a wide range of industrial and process applications, Separation Products manufacture a complete line of Wedge Wire industrial screens. The Wedge Wire screen products are constructed of a series of parallel “V” resistance welded cold drawn wire, cold wound welded on perpendicular support rods. The result is a smooth plug resistant screen surface that is very structurally sound. Wedge Wire industrial screens provide superior performance in numerous process industries including chemical, petrochemical and refining.

Advantages wedge wire screens offer when compared to other types of screening include:

• The wedge tapered opening becomes progressively wider increasing dewatering efficiency.
• Non plugging, unlike mesh there are only two contact points to retain particles.
• Slot sizes ranging from 0.001 to 0.500.
• Durable and capable of carrying heavier loads without support structures.
• One piece construction.
• Flexibility in forming fabricating and shaping.
• Wide range of materials.
• Low maintenance easy to clean.
