Our Wedge wire filter from DELTAFILTER

Wedge wire filters are a key technology in industrial liquid filtration. These filters are characterised by their precise construction and reliable cleaning performance. Designed as self-cleaning systems, wedge wire filters are ideal for a wide range of media – from aqueous solutions to highly viscous and even pasty liquids. As a modern filter manufacturer, we rely on innovative solutions such as wedge wire filters, slot tube filters and automatic filters that prove their worth especially in demanding filtration processes.

Advantages of wedge wire filters

In addition to user-friendly operation and high operational safety, our wedge wire filters offer numerous benefits that make them the first choice in many industries:

  • forced cleaning: Mechanical scraping blades (made of stainless steel or plastic) ensure continuous self-cleaning of the filter element without interrupting the flow process.
  • minimal downtime: Cleaning and dirt removal take place during operation, enabling continuous use.
  • cost-efficiency: Low medium loss during discharge and long service life of the filter elements keep operating costs low.
  • easy maintenance: Quick cleaning and maintenance are possible without special tools.
  • high energy efficiency: Motors from the DELTA-STRAIN series meet efficiency class IE3. For explosion-proof motors, efficiency class IE2 is used.
  • wide range of designs: Wedge wire filters are available as rotary filters, automatic filters, and slot tube filters – offering the right solution for every requirement.

All self-cleaning filters of the DELTA-STRAIN series are available in accordance with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU for use in EX Zone 1 and 2 (Group II, Category 2G or 3G). Certification and EC-type examination were carried out by TÜV Product Service GmbH.

Information on

Functionality & applications of wedge wire filters

In wedge wire filters, the contaminated medium flows from the outside to the inside through the cylindrical filter element. Particles larger than the gaps in the filter settle on the surface. These are removed by rotating the filter element and using flexible scraper blades – a typical feature of modern rotary and automatic filters. The separated dirt accumulates in the filter sump and is regularly discharged through a manual or automatic valve, with minimal loss of medium.

For particularly demanding applications, such as the filtration of gel-like or fibrous contaminants (e.g. algae, fibers, gel-like particles), special filter elements are available. Laser-drilled or perforated elements ensure reliable and efficient liquid filtration even with challenging media.

Our filtration systems offer:
  • flow rates up to 250 m³/h (based on clean water)
  • nominal filter fineness from 25 µm to 8000 µm
  • versions made of stainless steel or coated carbon steel
  • motorized or manual drive, also ATEX-compliant according to Directive 2014/34/EU

As an experienced filter manufacturer, we develop tailor-made filtration systems to meet our customers’ specific requirements. Our wedge wire filters, self-cleaning filters and automatic filters are used in numerous industries worldwide – discover the quality for yourself!
