Federal Screen Products recently outlined a list of the benefits of wedge wire, a hard-wearing alternative to wire mesh and perforated metal filters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe nature of the mining environment demands equipment be durable, reliable, and efficient,\u201d the company said. \u201cWedge wire screen\u2026[has] increased strength, higher flow rates and minimal pressure loss while maintaining clog-free operation when compared to conventional metal filters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wedge wire screens are manufactured by resistance welding V-shaped wire on shaped support rods, with its thousands of fused points creating a honeycomb-like structure for a strong, accurate continuous slot. The result, it noted, is a product that provides accurate flow, distribution and effective media, debris and sediment filtration and retention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are numerous benefits of wedge wire. Some of those include a capability to withstand heavy loads; a high open area that results in higher flow rates and low-pressure loss; a design that is easy to maintain and operate, as the V-shaped surface wire allows for easy cleaning by mechanical means or backflushing; and a low lifetime cost compared to alternate filter methods, saving time and money on maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wedge wire screens can be used in several applications for the mining and refining industry. Among the most popular are shaker screens for slurry filtration; froth flotation filters; carbon-in-leach (CIL) and carbon-in-pulp (CIP) interstage screens for gold and silver refining processes; sieve bends and static screens for dewatering; automatic strainer baskets; support grids; water treatment nozzles and pipe and lateral configurations; and water intake screens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Federal Screen pointed out that its manufacturing offers a broad range for refining applications and specific machines, including large diameter, one-piece construction screens that help lower operational and maintenance costs for mineral processors, saving time and money. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
