Welded Wedge Wire

(10 Microns & Above, For High Precision & Consistently Reliable Filtration / Separation )


WELDED WEDGE WIRE products / components are the most reliable, long lasting & maintenance free media widely used for separation / retention / filtration application in chemical process industries. These welded wedge wire products can replace conventional media like wiremesh cloth/ punched plates / perforated plates/ non-metallic filter cloth etc.

Construction :
Welded wedge wire construction involves two parts.

a) Profile wire - wedge shaped                 Profile wire
b) Support rod   Support rod
The profile wire and the support rod are fused into one metal at every intersection of the profile wire and the support rod. See the diagram below.

Support Rod

The above diagram illustrates why welded wedge wire components are rigid and strong and thereby maintains extremely reliable slot opening all the time.
Basic features of Welded wedge wire components / products :

•  They are non-clogging
•  Self-supported and rigid
•  Very long life
•  Reliable and consistent filtration rating
•  All metallic construction (non-metallic also possible like PP)
•  Easy to clean smooth filtering surface 

Some standard construction styles :

a) Radial External - FOTI

b) Axial Internal (without weld seam) -FITO

Radial External - FOTI

Axial Internal (without weld seam) -FITO

c) Axial Internal (reverse rolled - with 
    weldseam) FITO

d) Radial Internal (reverse rolled - with  
    weld seam) - FITO

Axial Internal (reverse rolled - with weldseam) FITO

Radial Internal (reverse rolled - with weld seam) - FITO

e) Radial Internal - special construction 
    (support rods inside) - FITO
