A slotted screen is a type of filtration or screening device used in various industries, including water treatment, oil and gas, mining, and wastewater management. It consists of a metal or plastic plate with precisely cut slots or narrow openings that allow fluid or small particles to pass while blocking larger debris.
Slot Design – The slots are typically narrow (ranging from microns to millimeters in width) and can be straight, tapered, or staggered for optimal filtration.
Material – Made from stainless steel, polyurethane, or other durable materials to resist corrosion and wear.
Applications:
Water Wells – Prevents sand and sediment from entering while allowing water flow.
Oil & Gas – Filters out solids in drilling operations.
Mining & Aggregate – Separates particles by size in screening processes.
Wastewater Treatment – Removes debris in influent screening.
High Flow Capacity – Slots allow efficient fluid passage.
Durability – Resistant to clogging and abrasion.
Customizable – Slot size and pattern can be tailored to specific needs.
Finer Particles May Pass – If slots are too wide, unwanted particles may enter.
Potential for Clogging – If not properly maintained, debris can block slots.
