Discover how custom-engineered wedge wire screens from GAP Technology enhance hygiene, performance, and compliance in the food and beverage industry
In the food & beverage processing industry, precision, hygiene, and regulatory compliance aren’t optional—they’re essential. Filtration and separation systems must meet stringent standards while maintaining high throughput and consistent product quality. GAP Technology’s bespoke wedge wire screens are helping food processors across the UK and beyond overcome these challenges with smarter, cleaner, and more efficient filtration solutions.

Why Food & Beverage Processing Demands Precision
Off-the-shelf solutions often fall short in specialised production lines. That’s where custom-engineered wedge wire screens come in. Food-grade production environments require filtration systems that:
- Prevent contamination.
- Withstand rigorous cleaning regimes.
- Support high flow rates without product loss.
- Meet industry regulations (such as HACCP or BRCGS).
The Benefits of GAP Technology’s Bespoke Screens
1. Hygienic Design with FDA-Compliant Materials
Our wedge wire screens are manufactured from stainless steel (typically 316L) for superior corrosion resistance and hygiene. The smooth, crevice-free finish helps prevent bacterial build-up.
2. Tailored Filtration for Specific Products
From dairy to brewing and sugar refining, every process has unique filtration needs. We manufacture screens with specific slot sizes, profiles, and mounting options to suit your line.
3. Efficient Clean-in-Place (CIP) Compatibility
Screens are designed for compatibility with automated cleaning systems—minimising downtime and maintaining consistent performance.
4. Reduced Product Waste and Downtime
The continuous slot design ensures reliable separation, reducing clogging and downtime while improving yield.
