Advantages of Wedge Wire (Core Component of the Screen)

 

The core component of OASIS’s wedge wire screen is wedge wire (also known as profile wire or V-wire). This component can be customized into various shapes, sizes, and opening rates according to project needs. The final wedge wire screen product has high structural strength, a smooth surface, and strong anti-clogging performance—making it ideal for a wide range of industrial scenarios such as screening, filtering, dewatering, sizing, drying, and cleaning.

Comparison with Traditional Materials

Compared with traditional wire mesh and perforated metal, OASIS’s wedge wire screen has obvious advantages:

• Larger opening area: Thanks to the continuous slot design of wedge wire, the screen’s effective opening area is significantly higher than that of wire mesh and perforated metal.
• Stronger durability: The consistent slot structure of wedge wire is more resistant to wear and tear, ensuring longer service life of the screen.
• Excellent anti-clogging: The unique structure minimizes clogging, thereby reducing abrasion of the filtered medium and maintaining stable filtration efficiency.

 

 

 

Design & Manufacturing Capabilities

 

OASIS provides highly flexible design and manufacturing services for wedge wire screens:

• Design flexibility: The screen’s grids can be made into various shapes and sizes to adapt to different application scenarios.
• Material diversity: Adopts a variety of corrosion-resistant alloys (see the "Stainless Steel Alloys" table above) to meet the corrosion resistance requirements of different working environments.
• Customization support: Can tailor the manufacturing process and product specifications according to the customer’s specific process requirements and equipment vessel parameters.

 

 

Post-Production Customization: Marking, Packaging & Transportation

 

To better meet customer needs for product traceability, protection, and delivery, OASIS provides flexible post-production services:

• Free Choice of Spray Marking: After product production, customers can freely customize spray marking content according to actual needs—such as product model, specification parameters, batch number, OASIS brand logo, or other exclusive identification. This helps with product traceability, inventory management, and brand recognition.
• Diversified Packaging Options: We offer three main packaging methods to ensure product safety during storage and transportation:
  • Plastic film packaging: Suitable for short-distance transportation or indoor storage, with good moisture resistance to prevent surface oxidation of the screen.
  • Wooden box packaging: Ideal for long-distance transportation (especially sea freight or land transportation with complex conditions), providing strong anti-impact and anti-collision protection to avoid deformation or damage.
  • Steel strip bundling: For bulk or large-size screen products, steel strip bundling ensures stable fixing, preventing displacement during transportation and improving loading/unloading efficiency.
• Tailored Transportation Solutions: Based on the customer’s destination (domestic or international), order quantity, and urgency, we will recommend and arrange the most suitable transportation method—including land transportation (truck), sea transportation (container), or air transportation. Our goal is to ensure the product is delivered to the designated location safely, on time, and cost-effectively.

FAQ

 

1. What is a wedge wire screen?

It's a very strong filter made from V-shaped wires welded onto supports. Liquid flows through the precise, uniform gaps between the wires, while solids are kept out. Its V-shape helps prevent clogging.

2. What's the main advantage over woven mesh?

It's stronger, more durable, and has more accurate filtering gaps. Its design is also much less prone to clogging.

3. Where is it typically used?

Everywhere that needs reliable filtration! Common uses include:

• Water & Wastewater Treatment
• Mining & Minerals
• Food & Beverage Production
• Chemical & Petrochemical Plants

4. What is it made of?

Usually stainless steel (like 304 or 316). The best material depends on what you're filtering (e.g., is it corrosive or abrasive?). Companies like OASIS can help you select the right one.

5. How do you clean it?

The easiest way is backwashing (reversing the flow to push debris out). Its simple design makes cleaning quick. For specific cases, OASIS can recommend the best cleaning method.
