Wedge Wire Screen Support Grids for supporting media in vessels and tanks

Wedge wire screen support grids play a pivotal role in supporting media within vessels and tanks, ensuring efficient operation in various industrial processes. They are specifically designed to handle the dual challenges of dead load support (media weight) and live load support (operational pressure differentials), crucially preventing costly media loss.

Features and Benefits:

1. Precision and Strength: Constructed with high-strength materials and precise slot openings, wedge wire grids excel where woven or perforated meshes fall short, offering continuous slots that optimize filtration performance and longevity.

2. Custom Engineered Design: Each grid is meticulously designed to meet specific mechanical support requirements and pressure drop considerations. This bespoke approach ensures optimal performance and ease of installation through vessel manways.

3. Applications in Industries: The wedge wire support grid is widely used in carbon filters, desulfurizers, molecular sieves, sand filters, gas sweeteners, and lauter tanks, and brewing processes like mash tuns. They serve as catalyst bed supports in petrochemical refining, ensuring stable and precise media retention.

Key Applications:

★ Petrochemical and Refining: Internal support grid is crucial for catalyst bed stability in hydrogenation and desulfurization reactors, improving process efficiency and longevity.

★ Brewing Industry: Used as false bottoms in mash tuns, facilitating efficient separation of grains and liquids during brewing processes.

★ Environmental Applications: Integral in carbon filters and gas sweeteners, contributing to clean air and water by efficiently capturing contaminants.

Why Choose Wedge Wire Support Grids?

★ Optimized Design: Offers a flat, smooth surface that minimizes media degradation in down-flow processes, coupled with high open-area designs that maximize filtration capacity.

★ Longevity and Cost Efficiency: Designed for durability and reliability, reducing maintenance costs and downtime while preserving valuable media.
