Product Overview


Unlike traditional punched tubes with uneven openings, its V-shaped wire structure forms precise, uniform slots (10-500μm) that avoid particle blockage, delivering 3-5 times longer service life than ordinary mesh tubes. It features an open area of 25-60%, supporting flow rates up to 80m³/h and operating pressure up to 1.6MPa. Compliant with ASTM A479 standards, it is widely used in water treatment, food processing, and chemical filtration.


Wedge Wire Mesh Tube


Product Features


Precise Filtration Control: Slot size customizable from 10μm to 500μm with ±3% tolerance, achieved via CNC winding technology. The 50μm variant removes 99% of 60μm+ particles, outperforming punched tubes (±10% tolerance) in precision.


High-Strength Structure: Wedge wires (thickness 0.8-3.0mm) welded to support rods (diameter 6-12mm) form a rigid cylinder, withstanding radial pressure up to 1.6MPa without deformation. No welding points on the filtration surface, avoiding material shedding.


Anti-Clogging Design: Smooth wedge wire surface (Ra < 0.5μm) and tapered slots (15° angle) reduce particle adhesion by 65%. The continuous slot structure prevents cross-contamination, lowering cleaning frequency by 50% vs. woven mesh tubes.


Corrosion & Temperature Resistance: 316L stainless steel variants resist acids (pH 2-14) and alkalis with corrosion rate < 0.008mm/year; 304 stainless steel for neutral media (pH 5-9). Operates stably at -20°C to 200°C, suitable for hot liquid filtration.


Applications


Water Treatment: Pre-filtration for reverse osmosis systems. A municipal water plant used 100μm 316L mesh tubes, reducing sediment content by 98% and extending RO membrane life by 18 months—maintenance costs cut by $30,000/year.


Food & Beverage: Juice and wine clarification. An Italian winery adopted 50μm food-grade tubes, removing grape pulp while retaining aroma compounds—wine clarity increased by 40% and shelf life extended by 6 months.


Chemical Industry: Catalyst recovery in reactors. A German chemical plant used 200μm mesh tubes, recovering 99.5% of catalysts (particle size ≥250μm) and reducing raw material waste by 25%.


FAQ


Q: Which material is suitable for seawater filtration?

A: 316L stainless steel is mandatory, as its molybdenum content resists salt corrosion (corrosion rate <0.008mm/year). 304 stainless steel rusts in 3-6 months in seawater, leading to filtration failure.


Q: How to clean clogged wedge-wire mesh tubes?

A: Use 10-15 bar high-pressure water flushing (reverse direction) or chemical cleaning (citric acid solution for scale). For heavy clogging, ultrasonic cleaning (40kHz) restores 98% of flow capacity in 20 minutes.


Q: What’s the maximum custom length of the mesh tube?

A: Standard length is 1-3m; max custom length up to 6m (with intermediate support rods every 1.5m). Longer tubes (>6m) risk sagging, reducing filtration uniformity by 30%.


Q: Can it handle high-viscosity liquids (e.g., syrup)?

A: Yes, choose slot size ≥ 100μm and increase open area to 50-60%. A 150μm tube achieved 30m³/h flow for syrup (1500 cP), 2x higher than woven mesh tubes.
