Custom-Engineered Wedge Wire Screens for Industrial Filtration
High-Efficiency Self-Cleaning Filtration Solution
High-strength, non-clogging V-wire technology designed for the most demanding separation and screening applications.
Why Our Wedge Wire Screens Stand Out?
Our wedge wire (V-wire) screens are constructed using a unique resistance welding process, providing superior strength, precision, and a significantly longer service life compared to traditional wire mesh.
- Non-clogging V-shaped surface.
- Precise slot width (down to 0.05mm)
- Low maintenance & high pressure resistance.
Key Features
Durable Material: Made of SS304, 316L, or Duplex Steel for maximum corrosion resistance.
High Flow Rate: Continuous slot design provides a larger open area for higher flow capacity.
Custom Geometry: Available in flat panels, cylinders, baskets, and curved sieve bends.

Precision Manufacturing & Quality Assurance
Each screen undergoes rigorous slot tolerance testing and material analysis. We provide MTC (Material Test Certificate) and inspection reports for every shipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
The lead time typically varies depending on the complexity of the design, the volume of the order, and current material availability. Generally, you can expect the following:
Standard Custom Orders: 2 to 4 weeks.
Complex or Large-Scale Projects: 6 to 8 weeks.
Rush Orders: Some manufacturers offer expedited services (7–10 days) depending on the availability of the specific wire profiles and stainless steel grades required.
Note: Lead time begins after the final approval of technical drawings and receipt of a purchase order.
Yes. Most specialized manufacturers work primarily from customer-provided technical drawings.
Formats: We typically accept CAD files (DWG/DXF), PDFs, or SolidWorks files.
Engineering Review: Before production, a technical team will usually review your drawings to ensure the design is optimized for manufacturing (DFM) and that the requested tolerances are achievable.
Customization: This includes specific requirements for support rods, wire profiles, framing, flanges, and reinforcement bars.
Choosing the correct slot size (opening) is critical to the efficiency of your filtration or separation process. Here are the key factors to consider:
Particle Size Analysis: The slot size should generally be half the size of the smallest particle you wish to retain. If you are using the screen for media retention (like resin or sand), the slot should be small enough to prevent the media from passing through or becoming wedged.
The “Rule of Two-Thirds”: In some water well or intake applications, the slot is sized to allow the finest 60–70% of the surrounding natural material to pass through during development, leaving the coarser material to form a natural filter pack.
Flow Rate Requirements: Smaller slots provide finer filtration but increase pressure drop and reduce the open area. If you need a high flow rate, you may need to balance a smaller slot with a larger total screen surface area.
Open Area Percentage: Calculate the “Open Area” (Slot Size / [Slot Size + Wire Width]). A higher open area reduces the velocity of the fluid passing through the screen, which minimizes erosion and clogging.
Material Consistency: If you are dealing with “trashy” or fibrous material, you may need a specific wire profile (like a tilt-wire) or a slightly larger slot to prevent blinding (clogging).
Recommendation: If you are unsure, it is best to provide a sample of the material you are filtering or a Particle Size Distribution (PSD) report so the engineering team can recommend the optimal slot width.
