5. V-Shape Wedge Wire & Support Rod Geometry

Trapezoidal design prevents internal clogging by providing inward-widening slot relief.

Wire Profile Code Head Width (mm) Height (mm) Relief Angle (°) Recommended Application
V12 / 12D 1.2 mm 2.2 mm 10° – 12° Ultra-fine particle separation (0.1 – 0.3mm)

V38 / 38D 3.8 mm 6.0 mm 15° – 18° Heavy Duty Industrial Fiber Separation (> 1.0mm)

6. Core Structural Advantages & Engineering Innovations

Self-Cleaning Anti-Clogging Profile

The trapezoidal wedge wire forms a inner-narrow to outer-wide slot geometry. As solids are compressed by the screw press, particles pass through smoothly without lodging inside the aperture.

High Concentricity Precision (<0.3mm)

Automated fusion resistance welding maintains strict circular tolerance within 0.3mm across the inner cylinder wall, preventing friction, uneven wear, or binding against internal rotating screw flights.

Reinforced Structural Support Stiffeners

Utilizes solid round, triangular, or flat support ribs positioned at calculated pitch intervals to absorb heavy axial compression forces and extreme torque from mechanical screw compaction.
