Wedge Wire Support Grids
Wedge Wire Screen Support Grids are porous plate structures made by precisely welding V-shaped stainless steel wires. Their core feature is a continuous narrow-slot screen on the top surface and a sturdy support grid underneath, combining high strength with a high open area. They are primarily used in fixed-bed reactors in industries like petrochemicals and coal chemistry to support catalyst or packing beds while ensuring uniform fluid passage and preventing particle leakage. Their robust construction offers high temperature and corrosion resistance with precise slot sizing, making them a key internal component for improving reactor efficiency and reliability.

Product Features and Advantages
High Structural Strength and Load-Bearing Capacity
Constructed by welding V-profile wires into a rigid integrated structure, it can withstand heavy loads from catalysts or packing inside the reactor, as well as operational pressure, with strong resistance to deformation.
High Open Area and Uniform Fluid Distribution
The unique continuous narrow-slot design (typically with slot widths ≥ 0.2mm) ensures mechanical strength while offering a high open area of 30%–50%, promoting uniform fluid passage, low pressure drop, and improved reaction efficiency.
Precise Dimensional Control and Leakage Prevention
Slot dimensions are accurately and consistently controlled, allowing precise matching with catalyst particle size to effectively prevent particle leakage while facilitating smooth fluid flow and minimizing clogging.
Excellent Performance in Harsh Conditions
Typically made from stainless steel (e.g., 304, 316L) or special alloys, they offer outstanding resistance to high temperatures, corrosion, and oxidation, resulting in long service life and low maintenance requirements.
Modular and Customizable Design
Can be customized according to reactor dimensions, shape, and process requirements (e.g., slot width, wire diameter, material), ensuring easy installation and strong adaptability.
Summary: The core advantages lie in the optimal combination of high strength, high open area, precise screening, and corrosion resistance, making them an ideal choice for achieving high throughput, low pressure drop, and long-term stable operation in fixed-bed reactors.
Product Parameters
Material: Typically 304 or 316L stainless steel; special alloys like duplex steel, Hastelloy, or titanium can be used based on requirements.
Wire Specifications:
Slot Size (Aperture): Standard range is approximately 0.2mm to 3.0mm, which is the critical parameter for particle retention precision.
Open Area: Typically between 30% to 50%, depending on slot size and structural design.
Dimensions & Shape: Can be custom-manufactured as circular, segmental, annular, rectangular, etc., to fit reactor/tower internal diameters.
Surface Finish: Options include polishing, electropolishing, or coating to meet cleanliness or special corrosion resistance needs.
Application Areas/Scenarios
Petrochemical & Refining: Used in hydrotreaters, catalytic reformers, desulfurization reactors, etc., to support catalyst beds.
Coal Chemical Industry: Employed in reactors for methanol synthesis, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, and coal gasification.
Fertilizer Industry: Applied in ammonia synthesis converters and methanol towers.
Environmental & Water Treatment: Serves as support media in ion exchange columns, adsorption towers, and filtration units.
Power Industry: Used as packing support in flue gas desulfurization (FGD) scrubbers.
Pharmaceutical & Food: Utilized in processes requiring high cleanliness for solid-liquid separation or catalytic reactions.
Core Function
Across these fields, within fixed-bed reactors, towers, and filters, its primary role is to robustly support catalysts, packing, or filter media while ensuring uniform fluid (gas/liquid) distribution, smooth flow passage, and precise retention of solid particles, thereby guaranteeing efficient, stable, and long-term operation of the equipment.

Starch Screen
The Wedge Wire Starch Curved Screen is a curved screening device specifically designed for the starch industry. It features an arc-shaped screen surface made of precisely welded V-profile stainless steel wires, utilizing centrifugal force or gravity to achieve rapid dewatering and classification of starch slurry. Its curved structure prolongs slurry retention time, improving solid-liquid separation efficiency. It is suitable for starch extraction, refining, and byproduct recovery processes for starches such as potato, corn, and cassava. Characterized by efficient screening, wear and clogging resistance, and easy maintenance, this equipment is a key solid-liquid separation device in modern starch processing.
Rotary Drum
The Stainless Steel Wedge Wire Rotary Drum Screen (also known as a Rotary Drum Strainer or Micro-Screen) is a continuously and automatically operating front-end solid-liquid separation device. Its core component is a large cylindrical drum installed horizontally or at a slight incline. The entire circumferential surface of the drum is covered with a stainless steel wedge wire screen (Johnson screen). The wastewater to be treated flows into one end of the drum. Under gravity, the filtrate passes through the wedge wire slots, while solid suspended matter (such as fibers, hair, plastic pieces, and fine particles) is retained on the inner surface of the drum. As the drum rotates slowly, the retained debris is lifted to the top, where it is flushed by spray water into a collection trough, achieving a continuous process of automatic screening, filtration, and residue removal
Screen Basket for Screw Press Separator
The stainless steel wedge wire screen basket, commonly known as the "V-wire screen," "press screen basket," or "screen cylinder," is a core component of screw press solid-liquid separators. It is installed inside the spiral press, enclosing the rotating screw shaft. The working principle is as follows: raw slurry with high moisture content is pushed into the screen basket by the screw shaft. Under the squeezing and conveying action of the spiral flights, the liquid (filtrate) is forced out through the precise, continuous slots of the screen basket, while the solid material (manure cake) is retained inside and continues to be compressed and dewatered as it moves forward. Finally, the dewatered solids are discharged from the outlet, achieving solid-liquid separation.
Wedge Wire Vibrating Screen
A stainless steel wedge wire vibrating screen is a solid-liquid separation device featuring a screen surface made by precisely welding V-shaped stainless steel wires, integrated with a high-frequency vibration system. With uniform slots, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, it is suitable for wet screening and dewatering operations. The vibration mechanism enables rapid material dispersion and efficient sieving while effectively preventing screen clogging. Widely used in industries such as mining, metallurgy, food processing, and environmental protection, it is particularly suitable for handling fine particles, high-viscosity, or easily agglomerated materials, offering advantages such as high screening accuracy, large processing capacity, and long service life.
Wedge Wire Water Well Screen
Johnson Deep Water Well Screens, also referred to as continuous slot screens or wire wrap screens, were originally developed to solve sand control challenges in fine-grained and uniform sand formations. These geological conditions are commonly encountered in deep groundwater aquifers, where conventional perforated pipes often suffer from clogging, excessive sand production, and reduced well efficiency.
Sintered Mesh Plate and Disc
Sintered Mesh Plates and Discs are high-precision filtration components fabricated by bonding multiple layers of stainless steel wire mesh through a specialized vacuum sintering process. Unlike traditional mesh that relies on mechanical weaving alone, these plates are fused at every contact point, transforming individual wires into a rigid, integrated porous metal sheet.
These plates can be customized into various shapes, most commonly circular discs, to fit specific industrial equipment. They offer an ideal balance of high permeability, extreme structural integrity, and precise filtration ratings. Because they are made entirely of metal (typically 304 or 316L), they provide a "permanent" filtration solution that can withstand high temperatures and corrosive chemicals while remaining fully cleanable and reusable.
