Wedge wire filter

Description

A wire mesh filter element is a type of filter that uses a mesh of wire to trap and remove particles from a fluid or gas stream. The mesh is typically made of stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant materials and is woven into a precise pattern that forms a barrier to particles of a certain size. The filter element is placed inside a housing or frame and the fluid or gas flows through the mesh, with the particles being trapped on the surface or within the mesh itself.

Wire mesh filter elements are commonly used in various industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, water treatment, automotive, and pharmaceutical industries. They are used to filter out contaminants such as dust, dirt, sand, and rust particles from liquids or gases. The mesh size and wire diameter can be customized to meet specific application requirements.

Wire mesh filter elements offer advantages such as high strength, durability, resistance to corrosion and high temperatures, good flow rates, and easy cleaning or replacement. They are also available in various shapes and sizes, such as cylinders, discs, cones, and baskets, to fit different filter housings or systems.

Overall, wire mesh filter elements are a versatile and reliable solution for separating and removing unwanted particles from fluids or gases in industrial processes.
