Kilewireskærme

Kilewireskærme, also known as wedge wire screens or profile wire screens, are a type of filtration medium manufactured from precisely shaped wire profiles welded onto support rods. The most common wire profile is a triangular or V-shaped wedge wire, which gives the screen its characteristic name. This V-shaped cross-section creates a continuous slot opening that widens internally.

The primary advantage of kilewireskærme lies in their non-clogging nature. The slot openings are engineered to be precise and uniform, and the internal widening prevents particles from becoming lodged within the screen. This design allows for a high open area, facilitating efficient fluid flow while effectively separating solids.

Kilewireskærme are constructed using various metals, including stainless steel, duplex stainless steel, and other corrosion-resistant alloys, making them suitable for demanding environments. The manufacturing process involves automated welding, ensuring consistent quality and structural integrity.

These screens find widespread application across numerous industries. They are commonly used in water well screens for groundwater extraction, as well as in mining and quarrying for dewatering and screening aggregates. In the chemical and petrochemical industries, they serve as filters for catalysts, process fluids, and wastewater. Food and beverage processing utilizes kilewireskærme for straining and separation. Other applications include architectural grilles, architectural mesh, and decorative elements due to their aesthetic possibilities and durability. The customizability of slot size, wire profile, and dimensions allows for tailored solutions to specific filtration requirements.
