Wedge wire screen intakes are also called passive intake systems or water intake screens. From shallow rivers to deep oceans, passive intake screen systems provide uninterrupted water withdrawal that can meet the requirements of any site in the world. Email: sales@ubowedgewire.com

Operation principle of wedge wire screen intakes

The operation principle of the wedge wire screen intakes is based on the principle of surface filtration. The slot size of the wires is designed to trap particles that are larger than the slot size of the mesh. 

The high-capacity passive intake screens are constructed using non-plugging wedge wire with an internal dual flow modifier that creates a nearly uniform low flow velocity through the entire screen surface. This significantly reduces impingement and entrainment of debris while protecting aquatic life. 

Self-cleaning Wedge wire screen intakes are designed for various filtration applications including fish farms, water treatment plants, and other water sources. Not only is it easy to maintain and clean, but there are also many advantages and features.

1. Low capital costs and no moving parts, no power consumption, and low maintenance needs.

2. No waste stream – there is no debris brought to the surface to be handled or disposed of.

3. Stainless steel material can be selected according to the filtration environment, acid, and alkali corrosion resistance.

4. High-pressure capability, ideal for intake applications.
