Wedge Wire Screen FilterS
At Everfilt®, we take it to the next level in manufacturing a diverse selection of top-notch wedge wire screen filters and their variants to cater to your specific filtration requirements. Our comprehensive lineup includes skid-mounted, turbo, flanged, multi-canister, sloped, carbon steel, stainless steel, and many other options, providing unparalleled versatility for your filtration needs.
How a
Wedge Wire Screen Filter
Works?
Wedge wire screen filters are stainless steel in construction and use precision-formed stainless steel wires welded onto support rods, creating slots for filtration. These mesh slots come in a wide range of openings to produce filtration levels from 25 microns to 200 microns, depending on the application and water quality.

At Everfilt®, we believe there's a perfect wedge wire screen filter designed just for you. Whether you need a skid-mounted option for easy mobility, a turbo variant for enhanced performance, or a flanged design for seamless integration, we have it all. Our multi-canister and sloped wedge wire screen filters offer exceptional filtration efficiency, while our carbon steel and stainless steel variants ensure long-lasting durability in various environments.
WHY CHOOSE AN EVERFILT WEDGE WIRE SCREEN FILTER SYSTEM?
A screen filter system provides exceptional filtration, capable of processing high flow rates, and requires minimal space or footprint to do so. Interchangeable filter screens allow for quick and easy customizable filtration requirements. From easy-to-use manual flushing or fully automatic flushing to a single unit or multi-manifold units, big or small wedge wire screen filter systems are a solid choice for industrial and agricultural professionals.
EVERFILT WEDGE WIRE SCREEN FILTERS vs. COMPETITOR SCREEN FILTERS?
Unlike many competitors that rely on woven mesh, plastic internals, or lightweight cartridges, Everfilt's screen filters are engineered around all-welded stainless steel profile/wedge wire technology designed for industrial-duty operation. Key differences include: all-welded stainless steel wedge wire construction, fixed slot openings for precise filtration, higher structural integrity under pressure, superior backwash performance, reduced clogging & maintenance, longer service life, versus woven mesh or plastic alternatives, modular & customizable skid-mounted systems, and available in manual, automatic, & turbo self-cleaning designs.
Why wedge wire matters: The wedge wire design uses V-shaped stainless steel profile wire that creates continuous slot openings. This geometry allows particles to pass through more efficiently while minimizing clogging. Compared to woven mesh, wedge wire maintains more accurate filtration tolerances and performs better during backwash cycles. Benefits of stainless steel wedge wire: higher flow rates with lower pressure loss, better solids release during cleaning, improved resistance to deformation, better performance in abrasive water conditions, easier CIP & backwash cleaning, reduced maintenance downtime, and longer operational lifespan.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
FOR EVERFILT® WEDGE WIRE SCREEN FILTERS
1. Do Wedge Wire Screens Reduce Pressure Loss?
Yes. The continuous slot design creates a high open area, which allows water to pass through efficiently with relatively low pressure loss, compared to many traditional screen designs. This helps improve system efficiency and reduce pumping energy requirements.
2. How Long Do Wedge Wire Screens Last?
With proper maintenance, stainless steel wedge wire screens can last many years, even in demanding environments. Their welded construction resists deformation, wear, and corrosion far better than many disposable filter elements.
Actual lifespan depends on:
-
Water quality
-
Operating pressure
-
Chemical exposure
-
Cleaning frequency
-
Stainless steel grade
3. What is the Difference Between Inside-to-Outside & Outside-to-Inside Flow?
-
Outside-to-inside flow traps debris on the outer surface of the screen, and is common in irrigation and industrial filtration.
-
Inside-to-outside flow traps debris inside the screen cylinder and is often used in specialized separator or strainer applications.
The proper flow direction depends on the filtration design and contaminant load.
4. Can Wedge Wire Screen Filters be Cleaned & Reused?
Absolutely. One of the biggest advantages of wedge wire technology is its cleanability. Screens can typically be cleaned through:
-
Automatic backwashing
-
Manual flushing
-
Pressure washing
-
Chemical cleaning when necessary
This reusable design reduces replacement costs, and maintenance downtime.
5. What Micron Ratings Are Available?
Wedge wire screen filters are available in a wide range of slot openings, typically from:
-
25 micron
-
35 micron
-
50 micron
-
100 micron
-
200 micron
The correct micron rating depends on the application, water quality, and downstream equipment protection requirements.
6. Are Carbon Steel Housing Options Available?
Yes, carbon steel housing options are available, if desired. See the LH-Series vs. LHS-Series for an example.
