Unique Features of FineWedge

FineWedge is an ultra-high precision wedge wire screen developed from conventional Wedge Wire Screen technology to meet filtration applications that require the highest level of precision and accurate slit control. With advanced technology that exceeds that of general manufacturers, ordinary screens can typically achieve only 50 μm, while FineWedge can produce slit openings as small as 5 μm and specify precision in 1 μm increments.

• Supports the finest applications: Efficiently captures and separates small particles with slit openings as small as 5 μm.
• Flexible customization: Slit precision can be specified in 1 μm increments.
• Controlled and guaranteed accuracy: Production is controlled using high-precision slit measuring instruments, and slit accuracy can be guaranteed.
• High opening area: Even with small slit openings, the screen maintains a high opening area ratio, allowing liquids to pass through and be filtered efficiently.
• Meets the needs of specialized industries: Especially suitable for use as a filter cylinder, housing, or case to separate foreign matter in the food industry, pharmaceutical industry, or processes that require reduction of fine suspended solids.
• Performance can be tested with actual samples: Liquid samples from the worksite can be tested to determine the appropriate precision at the UCHIMURA Test Center (UTC).

Wedge Wire Screen Technology

Wedge Wire Screen is a screen structure that uses wedge-shaped wires arranged on support rods to create gaps or slits for separation and classification. Solids are separated according to the screen opening size, while liquids pass through the slit openings.

Key advantages of the wedge wire structure include:

• Difficult to clog because it helps reduce the accumulation of material residues
• Good drainage, suitable for solid-liquid separation
• Supports backwash cleaning to assist with cleaning
• Strong and durable for use
• Can be processed into various shapes according to worksite conditions

Slit Control and Filtration Quality

FineWedge is suitable for applications that require a high level of precision in screen opening control, especially processes that need to separate small particles or minimize variation in slit size.

Key features include:

• Slit openings as small as 5 μm
• Precision can be specified in 1 μm increments
• Quality controlled using high-precision slit measuring instruments
• High opening area, supporting efficient filtration
• Slit accuracy can be guaranteed

Applications in Fine Filtration Processes

FineWedge should be used when a production process requires the separation of small particles, suspended solids, or fine contaminants from liquids. It is suitable for water treatment, solid-liquid separation, and applications that require selecting a screen based on actual water samples.

Before selecting the product, the characteristics of the water sample, particle size, amount of solids, and filtration goals should be considered. Examples include fine filtration, capturing small particles, or reducing suspended solids. This helps ensure that the slit size and screen type are suitable for the actual worksite.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How is FineWedge different from a general Wedge Wire Screen?
A1: FineWedge focuses on higher precision. It can produce slit openings as small as 5 μm and specify precision in 1 μm increments.

Q2: What type of work is FineWedge suitable for?
A2: It is suitable for fine filtration, capturing small particles, solid-liquid separation, and water treatment applications that require precise control of screen opening size.

Q3: Why is opening area important?
A3: A high opening area ratio helps liquids pass through the screen more effectively, supporting the efficiency of the filtration process.

Q4: What information should be prepared before making an inquiry?
A4: A water sample, the particle size to be captured, the amount of solids, filtration goals, and worksite conditions should be prepared to help select the most suitable screen.
