HEROFILTERS offer all metallic stainless steel wedge wire panels to replace polyurethane screen panels for applications that demand high dewatering capacity particularly in sand, coal, mining applications.
Wedge wire panels and polyurethane panels are two different types of screening materials, with different properties and applications.
Wedge wire panels are made from stainless steel wires that are welded together to form a panel with V-shaped openings. These panels are commonly used in industrial and commercial applications, such as for filtration, screening, and separation of solids and liquids.
Polyurethane screens work fine, but when it comes to small slot sizes below 1mm, they have their own disadvantages. The slots tend to get blocked more easily as the slots get stretched easily and the media gets blocked in the slot.
Whereas in our all welded wedge wire panels, the slots are fully rigid and do not allow clogging/blocking and so offer high dewatering efficiency along with superior life when compared to pu panels.
We made these panels exactly to replace polyurethane panels for a client producing sand.These panels can be used to compare the performance between wedge wire and polyurethane screens in-situ.
