Wedge Wire Screen: Material Choice and Slot Sizing Guide for Wastewater Treatment Wastewater treatment plants rely on reliable and durable screening equipment to ensure efficient separation of solids from water. Among the different technologies available, wedge wire screens have become a standard choice due to their strength, precision, and resistance to clogging. However, to maximize performance, engineers and procurement managers must carefully consider two key design factors: material selection and slot sizing. This guide provides a practical overview to help decision-makers specify the right screen for their wastewater application. Why Wedge Wire Screens Are Used in Wastewater Treatment Wedge wire screens are made by welding V-shaped wires onto support rods, creating a continuous slot with excellent structural integrity. This design delivers several advantages in wastewater operations: • High open area for greater flow capacity. • Non-clogging surface due to the V-shaped wir...
