| 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 |
|
|
b) 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.
|
|
|
|
The above
diagram illustrates why welded wedge wire components are
rigid and strong and thereby maintains extremely reliable slot
opening all the time.
