Wedge Wire Screens: Design, Types & Industrial Applications Guide
Wedge wire screens are precision-engineered filtration components made from V-shaped stainless steel profile wires welded to support rods. They are widely used in water treatment, mining, petrochemical processing, food production, and other industrial filtration systems where strength, durability, and non-clogging performance are essential.

What is a Static Wedge Wire Screen and How Does It Work?
A static wedge wire screen is a non-powered, gravity-fed filtration device used for solid–liquid separation. It works by allowing liquid to pass through precision V-shaped wire slots while solids slide down the screen surface for discharge.

Resin Traps: Protecting Ion Exchange Systems from Media Loss
Ion exchange systems are widely used in water treatment, power generation, chemical processing, and ultrapure water production. Their performance depends heavily on the integrity of the ion exchange resin. When resin escapes from a vessel, it can reduce treatment efficiency, damage downstream equipment, and increase operating costs.
