Wedge profiled wire is commonly used in filtration screens. Filtration screens are made from welding lengths of profiled wire to support rods. The support rods add to the structural integrity of the screen, as well as add a sense of rigidness. Filtration screens are highly customizable, meaning that they can be modified to fit a plethora of different application specifications. You can adjust the size of the profiled wire or the spacing between the wedges to fit any application. Central Wire Industries manufactures profiled wire that is used across several different applications, including different filtration screen applications. Read on to find out more about three different screen applications where profiled wire is found, as well as why CWI is your ideal source for profiled wire.
Chemical Filtration Screens:
Filtration screens are important to use when filtering chemicals. Wedge wire screens help to separate organic material from inorganic material. This process takes place through the controlled openings in the screen. These filtration screens are used to process solvents and filter water supply systems.
Mining Screens:
Mining screens are used when processing materials like coal, sand, gravel, and salt. Central Wire Industries manufactures stainless steel profiled wire used in mining screens. The stainless steel profiled wire offers a generous amount of strength and durability when processing said materials. This screen configuration is highly customizable, adjustments in size and shape can be easily made.
Oil and Gas Filtration Screens:
Filtration screens are used in the oil and gas industry as a way to remove contaminants that may have infiltrated the crude oil. Oil and gas filtration screens remove things like sediment, which when contaminated can cause risk to human health and the environment. CWI manufactures profiled wire for oil and gas filtration screens typically with 300 series stainless steel or Inconel® alloys, but we also offer many more alloy options including 400 series stainless steel, Monel®, and MP35N®. These alloys ensure that the screens produced have the ability to withstand varying conditions and environments.
