Wedge Wire Screen Cylinder

Posted by YUBO Filtration on September 2nd, 2024

Wedge wire screen cylinders are the most popular type of Johnson screen. Screen cylinders are widely used for screening and filtering of solids, liquids, and gases in various industries.

The wedge wire screen cylinder comprises V-shaped wires wound and welded on support rods. The material is stainless steel 304, 316, 312, etc. It has the characteristics of a smooth surface, no edges and corners, no burrs, and uniform slots.

The screen cylinder is widely used in water treatment, oil and gas, food processing, coal mining, river water intake, and other applications.

Stainless steel filter pipes are used in industrial filtration and separation processes like wedge wire screen cylinders. They are made of high-quality stainless steel and are designed with perforations, slots, or mesh surfaces depending on the filtration requirements. They are corrosion-resistant and durable.

When it comes to filtration and separation processes, choosing the right equipment is crucial for efficiency and performance. So we compared the two.

Wedge Wire Screen Cylinder vs Stainless Steel Filter Pipe

▪ Filtration Efficiency: The wedge wire screen cylinder offers more precise filtration than the stainless steel filter pipe, making it ideal for processes requiring exact particle size separation.
▪ Strength and Durability: While both are durable, the wedge wire screen cylinder’s welded design offers enhanced strength, especially in high-pressure applications.
▪ Maintenance: The self-cleaning capability of the wedge wire cylinder reduces maintenance needs, whereas stainless steel filter pipes may require more frequent cleaning depending on the design.
▪ Material Resistance: Stainless steel filter pipes excel in environments with high corrosion potential due to their material properties.
