Precision Wedge Wire Inserts for Right Angle Filters
Upgrade your hygienic filtration system with heavy-duty V-wire inserts. Designed for L-type (Right Angle) filters to provide superior flow, easy cleaning, and zero fiber migration compared to wire mesh.
High-Flow Hygienic Filter Elements
Our Wedge Wire Screen Inserts are specifically engineered to fit standard Right Angle Filters (L-Type strainers). Unlike traditional mesh baskets that are prone to tearing and clogging, our wedge wire inserts feature a permanent V-wire profile that ensures maximum uptime and simplified maintenance.
- Sanitary Finish: Smooth, burr-free surface with optional electropolishing.
- Easy Maintenance: The insert can be quickly removed and backwashed in seconds.
- Full Customization: Available in all standard diameters to fit 1.5", 2", 2.5", and 3" filter housings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Our inserts are designed to be direct replacements for existing mesh or perforated baskets. Just provide the dimensions of your filter housing.
While it depends on the slot size and diameter, our standard wedge wire inserts are rated for significantly higher pressures than wire mesh or plastic alternatives.
For right-angle filters used in food and pharma, we recommend 316L due to its superior corrosion resistance and hygienic properties.
