The features of wedge wire contribute to their ideal functionality in fine straining and filtering. The design of wedge wire ensures no clogging will occur; giving you an uninterrupted flow. This cuts out downtime and increases production. Likewise, the screens on the wedge wire are welded into ladder-like patterns that make backwashing easy, while also increasing the safety and reliability of the product.

Wedge wire also has a continuous slot opening. This is important because this type of opening dramatically increases the open area that is available. It gives a greater access to the water-bearing zone, so more water-based products can be filtered at one time with this type of wire screen.
