Wedgewire filter tubes are typically used for filtering of pigments, coatings, speed sizing, starches, or digester liquors. AFT produces several styles of wedgewire filters including inflow and outflow designs; vertical or continuous support; and with horizontal or vertical slots. Slot widths as narrow as 0.050 mm (0.002 in) are available, depending on the application.
Wedgewire tubes can also be used as large nozzles with a filtering head for applications such as sand filtering, food processing, pastes, pigments, or tank filter nozzles.
