wedge wire flat panel

A sieve bend has a greater screeing capactity than a flat screen due to forces exerted as material flows against the curved surface.

This curved profile wire screen is mounted in a frame with the screen openings perpendicular to the flow.

In a typical feed situation,the leading edge of the wedge wire removes the water and fine particles through the over sized particles move across  the top of the screen.

Separeation size in considerably smaller than screen openings,usually about one-half the opening size.

Sieve bend screens are ideal for sizing and dewatering applications in liquid/solid separation situations.It is extensively used for fine fiber removal in the starch industry.It also is used in other industries such as food processing waste water cleanup and corn wet milling.
