Wedge Wire Screens for Chemical Processing

Chemical processing operations require filtration and separation equipment that withstands aggressive chemicals, elevated temperatures, and continuous duty cycles. Wedge wire screens serve as catalyst support grids, reactor internals, and process filtration elements across fertilizer production, polymer processing, paint and coating manufacturing, and specialty chemical plants. The non-clogging V-wire profile and resistance to thermal cycling make wedge wire the preferred screening solution where process purity and equipment uptime are non-negotiable.

APPLICATIONS

Where Our Screens Work

Catalyst Retention and Support

Cylindrical and flat wedge wire screens serve as catalyst bed supports in fixed-bed and moving-bed reactors. Precise slot sizing retains catalyst particles while allowing reactant flow, preventing catalyst loss and downstream contamination.

Reactor Internals

Custom-engineered wedge wire elements function as distribution plates, collection headers, and separation internals inside chemical reactors. Resistance to thermal cycling and chemical attack ensures long service life.

Chemical Filtration

Process filtration screens for removing solid contaminants from liquid chemical streams. Applications include fertilizer slurry filtration, polymer melt screening, and paint pigment classification.

Fertilizer Production

Screens for granulation, sizing, and classification of urea, ammonium nitrate, and NPK fertilizer products. Corrosion-resistant grades handle acidic and alkaline process conditions.

Polymer and Resin Processing

Fine-slot screens for polymer pellet dewatering, resin bead classification, and melt filtration in plastics manufacturing.
