Plain screens & wedge wire panels

OPTIMA slotted wedge wire screens are used mainly for solids/liquids separation in a virtually unlimited range of situations. These can be dewatering pipes, filter cartridges, screen baskets, filter drums or centrifuge screens.

Plain or bent wedge wire panels are used in areas such as:

• OPTIMA plain screen panels in screening machines for screening or dewatering
• OPTIMA filter bottoms for diffusion and extraction towers, plain filters, ion exchange systems, back flush filters etc. …
• OPTIMA support panels in belt filters to support the filter fleece
• OPTIMA sieve bends with profile wires lying crosswise to the flow direction for optimal separation
• OPTIMA architectural grids for cladding of building façades
• OPTIMA kiln and lautering floors in breweries and malthouses

The available OPTIMA slotted wedge wire screens can be produced from the finest profile wires to achieve the highest possible open screen area right through to very large, sturdy designs to withstand high mechanical impacts. The different profile dimensions can also be supplied in various designs, some of which have been patented.

Flat OPTIMA screens are machine-made using a flat welding process. In addition to this procedure it is possible, using our round winding machine, to produce a welded wedge wire screen cylinder which is then flattened by re-rolling.
