Wedge Wire (WW)
CartridgeWire Mesh
Key Features
- Low dP from high open area
- Rigid, self-supporting stainless build
- Surface-loading slots clean easily
Overview
Stainless steel wedge wire cartridges provide precise slot filtration for demanding liquid and gas duties, with long on-stream performance and simple mechanical cleaning
How It Works
Fluid passes through vee-shaped slots; oversized particles are retained on the surface to form a porous cake, promoting stable flow and easy backwash while clean fluid exits the core
Applications
- •High-temp/high-pressure intake strainers and coarse solids removal (50–900 µm)
- •Seawater/desal intake, produced water, and refinery/chemical utility guards
- •Reusable backwashable elements for CIP/solvents/caustics
- •Nozzle, pump, and heat-exchanger protection
