Static Wedge Wire Screens are a type of screening equipment used in the primary treatment process of wastewater treatment plants. They are designed to remove large solids such as sticks, rags, plastics, and other debris from the incoming wastewater stream.
The screens consist of a stainless steel frame and wedge-shaped wires that form a continuous surface. The wastewater flows through the screen, and the solid materials are retained on the surface of the screen while the liquid passes through the screen.
The screens are designed to operate continuously, and the solid materials are removed manually or automatically by a scraper or brush mechanism. The screens are available in different sizes and can be customized to fit the specific requirements of the plant.
Static Wedge Wire Screens are widely used in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants to protect downstream equipment such as pumps, valves, and other mechanical equipment from damage due to the presence of large solids in the wastewater. They are also used in the food processing and paper industries for solid-liquid separation applications.
