A Johnson screen, also known as a wedge wire screen, is often referred to as a V-wire screen or continuous slot screen. It is a type of filter composed of V-shaped stainless steel wire helically wound around support rods. This construction creates continuous slots that allow water or other fluids to pass through while keeping solid particles out.
The Johnson screen features wedge-shaped wires mounted on support structures to create precise, uniform openings that resist clogging. The design supports high-pressure and high-temperature applications, making wedge wire ideal for industries that require dependable, low-maintenance filtration solutions.
In the industrial filtration and water treatment world, Johnson screens and wedge wire screens have established themselves as the gold standard for durability, precision, and performance.
Whether you operate in mining, municipal water systems, food processing, or petrochemical industries, these components are engineered to deliver consistent, high-efficiency filtration under the toughest operating conditions.
✔ Frequent Maintenance Due to Clogging
→ Solution: The V-shaped profile of the wires in Johnson wedge wire screens prevents particulate buildup, resulting in self-cleaning functionality and reduced maintenance downtime.
✔ Inconsistent Filtration Performance
→ Solution: With customizable slot openings (down to microns) and precise engineering, these Johnson screens ensure high flow rates with uniform filtration, supporting consistent product quality and process efficiency.
✔ Equipment Corrosion in Harsh Environments
→ Solution: Made from 304 or 316L stainless steel (or duplex steel for more demanding conditions), these screens provide excellent corrosion resistance, even in aggressive chemical or saltwater conditions.
✔ Costly Replacements and Short Lifespan
→ Solution: The welded wire construction ensures exceptional structural integrity and long service life, reducing replacement frequency and overall operating costs.
