Our Wedge Wire Filter Cartridge (Candle Filter) is designed for automatic backwash filtration systems where continuous operation and minimal maintenance are critical. These cylindrical filter elements feature precision wedge wire slots that provide accurate particle retention while allowing efficient backwash cleaning.

The robust all-welded construction uses 316 stainless steel V-shaped profile wire helically wound around longitudinal support rods. Each intersection is resistance welded to create a rigid, cage-like cylinder that withstands repeated backwash cycles and high differential pressures.

Standard end fittings include threaded NPT/BSP connections, flanged ends, and quick-release bayonet mounts. Custom end connections can be manufactured to suit your existing filter housing or vessel requirements.

These cartridges are ideal for applications requiring continuous filtration with automated cleaning – the smooth wire surface allows solids to be easily dislodged during backwash, restoring full flow capacity without cartridge replacement.

Key Features:
– Backwashable design for extended service life
– Continuous slot for precise particle retention
– 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance
– All-welded construction withstands high differential pressure
– Standard and custom end fittings available
– Slot sizes from 10 micron to 3000 micron
– Lengths up to 6 metres available
– Low pressure drop at high flow rates

Our filter cartridges are used extensively across Australian water treatment, oil & gas, chemical processing, and food manufacturing industries where reliable filtration is essential.
