Product Overview

Our Drum Wire Screen is a high-efficiency Johnson-type screen used for trapping solid particles and impurities while maintaining optimal fluid or gas flow. The unique V-shaped cross-section of the wedge wire creates continuous slots that widen inwardly, facilitating easy cleaning through back-washing and preventing particle entrapment.

Ideal for harsh working conditions, this drum screen is manufactured using automated machine tools that fusion-weld the profile wire onto support bars. Whether used in rotary drum filters or as static filter inserts, it provides a long service life and stable filtration precision for the most demanding environments.

FAQ

Q: Can you customize the slot size for ultra-fine media?
A: Yes. Our minimum sieve gap can be as small as 0.02 mm, specifically designed for precision filtration in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
A: The V-shaped wire only contacts particles at two points, which prevents clogging. Any particle that passes the top gap will easily pass through the widening slot, making back-washing much more efficient.
A: We can manufacture drum screens with an Outer Diameter (OD) of up to 1200 mm.
A: Absolutely. We can design the flange and internal support structure according to your existing equipment’s specifications to ensure easy installation and maximum strength.
