Wedgewater™ Sieve

Durable wedgewire screening for solids separation in municipal and industrial applications.

What It Is

The Wedgewater™ Sieve is a stainless steel wedgewire screening and separation system designed for solids removal in municipal and industrial wastewater applications. Using passive gravity-assisted screening with custom slot widths, it provides durable, low-maintenance solids separation without moving parts or electrical power.

How It Works

The sieve uses passive, gravity-assisted screening to separate solids from liquid flow. Wastewater passes through the precision-slotted wedgewire surface, allowing water to flow through while retaining solids above the screen. Custom slot widths are manufactured to match your specific application requirements — from coarse screening at headworks to fine separation before filter beds.

Applications

  • Headworks solids removal
  • Septage pre-screening
  • Lagoon outlet screening
  • Pre-treatment before filter beds

Construction & Materials

All Wedgewater™ Sieves are constructed from stainless steel wedgewire, providing excellent corrosion resistance and long service life in harsh wastewater environments. Custom dimensions are available to fit your specific channel, basin, or pipe configuration.

Key Benefits

  • Passive gravity-assisted screening — no moving parts
  • Custom slot widths for application-specific separation
  • Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
  • Low maintenance requirements
  • Durable in harsh wastewater environments

Frequently Asked Questions

What slot widths are available for the Wedgewater™ Sieve?
GFSS manufactures sieves with custom slot widths tailored to your specific application. Contact us with your flow rate and solids specifications for sizing recommendations.
Can the sieve be used as a pre-treatment step before a filter bed?
Yes. The Wedgewater™ Sieve is commonly used upstream of filter beds to remove large solids, rags, and debris before the dewatering stage. This protects the filter media and improves overall system performance.
What materials are used in construction?
Wedgewater™ Sieves are constructed from stainless steel wedgewire, providing excellent corrosion resistance and long service life in wastewater treatment environments.
