Why Wedge Wire Screens are Non-Clogging

Wedge wire screens are manufactured by helically wrapping parallel support rods with a continuous "V" shaped wire.

The continuous slot formed by the V-shaped surface wires allows for only two-point contact of particles in the screen slot, which minimizes clogging.

Due to the smooth surface and rigid construction, the abrasion of media particles is eliminated.

This increases the effective life and results in longer intervals between cleaning cycles.
