Product Overview
Wedge Wire Screens
JINLV wedge wire products use a V-shaped (wedge-profile) wire continuously resistance-welded to longitudinal support rods, creating a screen with precise slot openings that resist blinding and are self-cleaning under flow reversal. The triangular wire profile means only the narrow edge contacts the fluid -- particles that enter the slot are immediately released on the downstream side, preventing clogging. Available in 304 and 316L stainless steel, as well as duplex and super-duplex alloys for aggressive environments. Slot openings from 25 μm to 10 mm. Configurations include cylindrical screens (inside-out or outside-in flow), flat panels, curved panels, and basket strainers. Applications span water intake screens for municipal and industrial water treatment, resin traps in ion exchange systems, well screens for groundwater extraction, and industrial strainers in process piping. Custom dimensions, slot widths, and connection flanges are available on request.

Why Wedge Wire
Three Duties Where Wedge Wire Becomes the Practical Choice
Wedge wire is not another disposable cartridge. It is a durable screening structure that can become part of the equipment itself—built for continuous operation, coarse hard solids and mechanical separation.
Coarse, Hard Solids
Sand, shells, fibers and mining solids can consume cartridges or bags extremely quickly.
Application ModeRobust primary straining for raw-water intake, slurry and process protection.
Mechanical Separation
Presses, centrifuges and dewatering equipment impose loads that disposable media cannot carry.
Application ModeDrums, baskets and screen panels engineered for mechanical strength and drainage.
Microscopic Slot Comparison: Straight Mesh vs. V-Shaped Wedge Wire
Observe how near-slot-size particles either lodge in the opening or pass into an expanding channel.
Surface retainedPasses throughPotential blinding
V-shaped slot: once a particle passes the narrow surface opening, the channel expands downstream and is less likely to lodge internally. Oversize solids remain on the smooth surface for scraper, brush or backwash removal.
Pleated / Membrane
Fine Final Filtration
High precision down to submicron duties; suited to clean final control, not direct heavy coarse-solids loading.
Bags, Melt-Blown & Wound
Replaceable Prefiltration
Moderate precision and useful dirt capacity for economical, periodically replaced prefiltration.
Continuous Equipment Core
Wedge Wire Screen
Coarse, mechanically robust and regenerable; suited to automatic scraping, intake protection and solid-liquid separation.
Selection note: confirm actual slot size, alloy, support structure, flow direction and allowable differential pressure against particle distribution, corrosion, flow and equipment design. The animation explains anti-blinding behavior and does not replace engineering calculations.
ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION BUILDER
Convert the selection rationale into manufacturing inputs
Prepare the particle-size distribution, connection drawing and allowable differential pressure. Slot size should not be selected from nominal filtration accuracy alone.
