Design and features
Standard version in radial slot execution for filtration from inside to outside.
The features of the wedge wire screen:
- Great mechanical strength
- Highly resistant to abrasivity and vibration.
- It can hold more pressure and temperature compared to the perforated sheet screen.
- Longer screen life.
