Why Everfilt® Specializes in Stainless Steel Wedge Wire Screen Filtration

When it comes to industrial filtration, cutting corners isn’t an option. At Everfilt®, we design with intent, from the ground up. That’s why stainless steel wedge wire screen isn’t just a component in our systems, it’s a cornerstone.

This isn’t just filtration, it’s engineering that holds up under real-world pressure.

Once your vessel is filled with media, the underdrain becomes the workhorse, supporting thousands of pounds, enduring high flow rates, and withstanding aggressive backwash cycles. Media is lifted, slammed, and resettled repeatedly. The wear is intense. Most systems rely on PVC or plastic internals because it’s CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP. We don’t.

We engineer systems for performance, longevity, serviceability, and purpose. Every component matters; stainless steel wedge wire simply performs where others fall short.

Why Stainless Steel Wedge Wire?

1. Strength That Doesn’t Flinch

   
   

   • We primarily use 304 stainless, with 316 stainless available for more aggressive, corrosive environments.

   • Ideal for chemical processing, wastewater treatment, food and beverage, and any tough-duty application.

     
     

2. Clog-Resistant by Design

   
   

   • The V-shaped wire profile forms a continuous slot that keeps the flow moving and particles out, eliminating the clogging issues common with mesh or plastic.

   • Critical for systems that can’t afford downtime or disruption.

     
     

3. Precision Where It Counts

   
   

   • Custom-built with tight tolerances, wedge wire screens offer exact control over slot size and flow rate.

   • Trusted in industries where precision separation isn’t optional, like mining, oil & gas, and specialty food processing.

     
     

4. Easy to Maintain, Built to Serve

   
   

   • Smooth, rigid surfaces simplify cleaning and maintenance, often compatible with CIP (Clean-in-Place) and backflushing.

   • Keeps systems running longer, cleaner, and with less intervention.

     
     

5. Serious Longevity

   
   

   • Unlike plastic or mesh alternatives, stainless wedge wire holds up for the long haul, resisting corrosion, deformation, and fatigue.

   • That means fewer replacements, lower lifetime cost, and higher operational uptime.

At Everfilt®, we don’t just build filtration systems, we engineer solutions that perform under pressure and last for years. If you're ready to build smarter, stronger, and with purpose, we’re ready to help. Let’s talk about what real performance looks like.
