Contec wedge wire filters/metal edge filters - for complicated conditions
Self-cleaning without interrupting filtration
Liquid filtration using fully automatic wedge wire filters
Contec wedge wire filters (also known as slotted tube or edge gap filters) are automatic, self-cleaning filters that do not require the use of conventional filter elements, meaning that the filter process can be carried out without interruption and is therefore ready for use at any time. This conserves resources, reduces costs, minimizes maintenance tasks and increases the efficiency of the system, as downtimes due to filter changes are eliminated.
Contec wedge wire filters have proven themselves many times over in industry for the filtration of difficult, low-viscosity and high-viscosity or gel-like media such as paints, emulsions, oils, polyurethane, bitumen and similar. Thanks to the sophisticated, easy-to-clean design and the use of food-safe materials, wedge wire filters can also be used for a wide range of applications in food processing. Contec wedge wire filters are already used for filtration in many food areas - whether chocolate, coffee extract or fruit juices.
