The screening capacity of the sieve bends is greater than a flat screen due to the force generated when the material flows against the curved surface. This curved profile wire screen is mounted in a frame with the screen openings perpendicular to the flow.

In a typical feed situation, the leading edge of the wedge wire removes the water and fine particles through the screen up to the cut point size, as the over-sized particles will pass through the top of the screen. The separation size is smaller than the screen openings, usually about one-half the opening size.

Sieve bend screens are ideal for sizing and dewatering applications in liquid-solid separation situations.
It is widely used for fine fiber removal in the starch industry. It is also used in other industries such as  food processing, waste water cleanup and corn wet milling.

FEATURES
• Width, length, aperture and wire depend on flow rate and size of particles to be separated
• Slot sizes range from 25 micron to 10mm.
• Screen material is typically 304 or 316 SS with end bars. Other materials are available upon request
