Custom Wedge Wire Filter Elements Compatible with Diverse Equipment

Wedge wire filter elements, also known as wedge wire filter cartridges, are an advanced filtration device specifically engineered for the efficient separation and filtration of liquids, gases, and solid particles. They are manufactured from high-quality wedge wire, offering a filter rating up to 20 microns. They are widely applied in the chemical, food and beverage, mining, and environmental protection industries.

Wedge wire filter elements

Category

Wedge wire candle filters. Elongated cylindrical design; liquid flows from outside to inside, with particulate impurities retained on the filter surface while clean fluid discharges from the interior. Suitable for high-precision filtration applications.
Wedge wire screen filter baskets. It features a top-open design with handles for easy installation; used for intercepting impurities in pipelines and suitable for high-flow conditions.
Internal scraping self-cleaning filter element. Equipped with a built-in scraper or backwash system, it automatically removes deposits from the filter element surface. Suitable for high-viscosity fluids (such as asphalt and syrup) and continuous production environments.
