Wedge Wire Wrapped Tubes, also known as Johnson Type Screen pipes, are crafted by wrapping V-shaped or wedge-shaped wire around an internal arrangement of longitudinal support rods. At the intersection of these wires, fusion welding ensures robust construction and excellent mechanical properties.

The wedge-shaped cross-section effectively prevents blockages, ensuring unobstructed water flow. The continuous slot design offers a larger open area, which helps reduce the water velocity and prevents sand from infiltrating the screen, even under high-pressure conditions. This results in superior sand filtration capabilities.

Wedge Wire Wrapped Pipe Structure :

--The V-shaped wire is securely welded to the support rods, creating a sturdy unit with high strength and minimal weight.

--The V-shaped cross-section ensures no blockages and maintains unrestricted water flow.

--The continuous slot design provides a larger open area, reducing water velocity to prevent sand ingress under high pressure, leading to improved sand filtration.

--Moreover, the slot dimensions of the wedge wire pipe can be customized to match specific ground conditions.

Wedge Wire Wrapped Pipe Filter Direction:

Wedge Wire Wrapped Pipe Filter DirectionBenefits:

V-Shaped Slots:

Openings in the form of a "V" that open towards the inside of the well tend to permit the passage of particles that are just slightly smaller than the slot width. In contrast, other types of openings might trap these particles, leading to screen clogging.

Continuous Slots:

The unique design ensures a continuous slot opening that runs along the perimeter and length of the screen.

Non-Clogging Slots:

The V-shaped wire creates slots that widen inwardly. This shape eliminates any space for sand particles to become trapped inside the slot, making these screens non-clogging.

Very Large Open Area:

This design provides a continuous slot, resulting in an open area for water entry that is more than twice that of conventional slotted pipes of any size and slot opening.

Application of Wedge Wire Wrapped Screen Tube:

Wedge wire is a specialized profile wire known for its versatile applications as a filtration media screen, sifting screen, and drainage panel. Additionally, it is utilized in architectural design for decorative flooring and interior embellishments.

Wedge Wire Wrapped Tube application

Wedge wire screens play a pivotal role in various industries such as mineral processing plants and food processing facilities. They are instrumental in sizing and washing tasks. These industrial profile wire screens also serve in corn processing for ethanol and corn starch production, as well as in the treatment of sugar, animal waste, and fertilizer.

Wedge wire screens have found wider applications, supplanting wire mesh, and perforated screens when both strength and precision are essential. Notably, they excel in wastewater treatment processes and vibrating screens.

Among the range of wedge wire screen products, Wedge Wire Wrapped Tubes stand out. They are employed as rotary screens and collectors and have diverse uses in mineral processing, coal cleaning plants, sewage treatment facilities, as well as in water, oil, or gas filtration systems. They are regarded as the optimal filter element for self-cleaning filter housings and vessels, given their outstanding performance.
