Explore how GAP Technology’s wedge wire screens deliver high-performance, low-maintenance filtration across multiple industries
Industrial filtration plays a pivotal role in sectors ranging from food processing to water treatment. Achieving consistent, high-performance filtration often comes down to one key factor: the screen. At GAP Technology, we manufacture custom wedge wire screens that are purpose-built to optimise efficiency and longevity across a wide range of applications.
How Wedge Wire Screens Improve Efficiency
1. Precision Filtration with Reduced Clogging
The V-shaped wire profile of wedge wire screens creates a continuous slot that allows only particles of a certain size to pass. This reduces clogging, which is one of the main causes of inefficiency and downtime in traditional mesh or perforated screens.
2. Increased Flow Rates
Because of their high open area and continuous slot design, wedge wire screens allow greater liquid throughput with minimal resistance. This improves processing speeds and reduces energy costs.
3. Durability and Long Life Cycle
Made from stainless steel, our screens offer exceptional resistance to wear, corrosion, and pressure. The result? Longer intervals between replacements, fewer shutdowns, and lower total cost of ownership.
4. Easier Maintenance
With less clogging and stronger materials, wedge wire screens are quicker and easier to clean—reducing the time needed for maintenance and improving overall uptime.
Where They’re Used
GAP Technology supplies wedge wire screens for:
- Food & Beverage Processing – hygienic filtration of liquids, sugars, and starches.
- Water Treatment – removing debris, sand, and suspended solids.
- Mining & Quarrying – dewatering and mineral separation.
- Chemical & Industrial Processing – accurate screening under high stress.
