Key Features & Performance Advantages

  • Sub-Millimeter Slot Precision: Advanced CNC servo motor indexing guarantees uniform slot sizes, with minimal cumulative error.
  • V-Wire & Support Rod Compatibility: Handles various profile wires (1x2mm, 2x3mm, 3x5mm, etc.) and support rod shapes (round, triangular, trapezoidal) in Stainless Steel (304, 316L, Duplex).
  • Resistance Welding: Equipped with dynamic welding transformers to ensure zero heat-deformation, clean weld spots, and maximum burst strength.
  • Automated Operation & HMI Control: Siemens PLC touchscreen interface allows operators to program variable slot pitch within the same screen cylinder smoothly.
  • Rigid Welded Construction for High-Pressure (5 MPa) Wedge Wire Screens: Driven by Siemens CNC servo drive systems, our wedge wire screen welding machines ensure precise slot sizes with ultra-rigid welded construction capable of withstanding operational pressures up to 5 MPa. Ideal for heavy-duty water well screens, mining dewatering strainers, and oil-gas filtration systems.

How to Customize Your Wedge Wire Screen Production Line?

Customizing an RKM wedge wire screen requires customization based on your specific requirements.

1. Identify the specific application for the wedge wire screen.

2. Screen size and shape (e.g., trough or triangular trough).
①Screen diameter =?
②Support wedge wire distance =?
③Support wedge wire size =?
④Slot =?

3. Determine the wedge wire shape: V-shaped for filtering large particles or U-shaped for finer filtration.

FAQ of Wedge Wire Screen Machine

The Wedge Wire Screen Machine (Wedge Wire Screen Welding Machine) is an optimal device for manufacturing wedge wire screens (Johnson tubes). Wedge wire screens are widely used in filtration, screening, and separation applications in industries such as water treatment, mining, chemicals, and food. This machine uses welding technology to secure wedge wires (with a triangular cross-section) into a grid structure, creating a high-strength, wear-resistant screening material.

The machine uses continuous resistance welding where a surface profile wire (V-wire or wedge wire) is dynamically wrapped and resistance-welded onto internal support rods at every intersection, ensuring precise slot tolerances without manual tack welding.

1. The wedge wire structure enhances the screen’s resistance to pressure and impact.

2. The varying porosity of the wedge wire provides coarse and fine filtering.

3. The stainless steel wedge wire is highly corrosive.

4. Wedge wire screens are less susceptible to clogging.

5. They offer a long service life, reducing the cost of frequent replacements.

The price of a Wedge Wire Screen Machine varies depending on customer specifications, electronic component configuration, and production volume. For a quick quote, please contact us!

Yes. By adjusting the welding current, hydraulic clamping pressure, and using reinforced support rods, the line creates rigid welded constructions that meet international 5 MPa working pressure inspection standards for deep-well and industrial strainers.
