# Wedge wire screen panels, made to your separation duty
## The challenge
A wedge wire panel separates on a defined slot: the slot width sets the cut point, the profile wire sets the strength, and the support rods set the rigidity. If the slot varies across the panel, or blinds, the cut point moves — and the grading, dewatering or filtration result moves with it.
The panel also has to stay flat and rigid under load, with the working face and the supports the right way round. A panel described by outer dimensions alone is not a complete requirement.
## Our approach
We supply custom wedge wire screen panels from Anping, China. Each panel is made to order: the panel outline, slot surface and arrangement, reverse support structure, frame and fixing details, and working side and flow direction are matched to the separation task and the installation position.
How the panel is built, in plain terms: triangular profile wire is resistance-welded to support rods, forming a slot that opens downward — so it resists blinding and is easy to backwash. The working face is the slot surface; the reverse side carries the supports.
Two supply boundaries to agree at enquiry:
- Screen surface alone, or a panel with a frame or other connections.
- Flat panel, or a curved panel where the installation calls for one.
## Typical range
Final specification is confirmed per order / drawing. The ranges below are industry-common values from public supplier pages — they show what to discuss, not what we promise off the shelf.
| Item | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Slot width | 0.025–100 mm (commonly 0.05–10 mm; Johnson Slot tolerance ±0.01 mm) |
| Profile wire | 1×2–3×6 mm |
| Support rods | 2×3–3×6 mm (round / triangular / rectangular) |
| Flat panel, maximum | 3000×2000 mm (Johnson Slot standard); 3000×3000 / 4000×4000 mm (Hengyuan) |
| Slot direction | Radial / axial; working face and flow direction discussed per order |
| Materials to discuss | 304 / 316L / 430 / duplex stainless steel, others on request — by application |
Sources for the ranges: Anping Xinlu, Johnson Slot (Hebei Slot Filter, Anping), Hengyuan, Optima specification guide (public pages). Our factory-confirmed slot minimum and maximum panel size are still pending — final specification confirmed against your drawing / sample.
## What this helps with
- **A defined cut point** — the slot width sets the separation, so the grading result is set by the panel, not by a worn or variable opening.
- **Slots that resist blinding** — the tapered slot opens downward, so near-size material passes through instead of lodging, and backwashing clears what stays.
- **A rigid panel** — profile wire and support rods welded together hold the panel flat under load.
No separation-efficiency or lifetime figures are promised here: the result depends on the material, the slot and the installation. The ranges in §3 and the questions in §6 are how we get to a panel that fits your duty.
## Typical applications
- **Mining and quarrying** — washing, grading and dewatering screens; static screens and sieve bends.
- **Pulp and paper** — pulp washing and black-liquor filtration.
- **Food and beverage** — screen panels for food, brewing and beverage processing.
- **Water treatment** — process-water and wastewater screening panels.
Each application links back to the same enquiry: panel outline, slot, profile wire, supports, frame and working direction.
## Next step
Send the information you already have — an overall photograph of the panel, a view of the working face and a view of the reverse supports, or a drawing. These six questions are what we ask next:
1. Slot size required — or the separation task, if the slot is unknown.
2. Panel outline and dimensions — length, width; flat or curved.
3. Profile wire and support rods.
4. Frame — screen surface alone, or a panel with a frame or other connections.
5. Working side and flow direction — which face meets the process.
6. Material and installation position — where the panel is installed.
Tools to send with your enquiry:
- **Blank dimension drawing** `blank-dimension-P09-flat-panel.png` — fill in length, width, slot width, profile wire and support rods and send it back.
- **RFQ sheet** (P09) — the same fields as a PDF, for buyers who prefer a form.
- **Sample** — samples are available on request; availability, fee and lead time depend on the product, size and quantity — send your specification and we will confirm. Standard sizes can usually be supplied quickly; custom sizes are made to your drawing.

## Questions About This Product
### Why is a photograph of the back of the panel useful?
It shows the supporting structure and helps relate it to the working face and mounting arrangement.
### Do I need to know the slot size before contacting you?
You can start with a drawing, sample photographs or the separation task. Add the slot requirement if it is known, and keep unknown information clearly identified.
### Should the frame be included in the enquiry?
State whether you need the screen surface alone or a panel with a frame or other connections. Mark that boundary on the reference if possible.
## Discuss Your Requirement
Send overall, working-face and reverse-support views, with slot and installation information if known. Email drawings or sample photographs to [sales@anpingmeshpro.com](mailto:sales@anpingmeshpro.com).
