The support grid is a flat screen panel that provides uniform flow collection which is essential in many applications. This is particularly important when screens are used to reserve expensive ion exchange resins. Support grids provide superior media retention characteristics in vessels of all types. They feature durable construction, precise open area, and are virtually non-clogging. For larger vessel diameters SanQiang screen support grids are fabricated in segments to allow installation through a vessel man-way.

Benefits: A non plugging surface; Self supporting structure; Accurate separation; High open area; Durable.

Wedge Wire Applications:

Molecular sieve; Catalyst bed support; Ion exchange; Sand filters; False bottoms

Arrangement & Installation

A support grid could be made out of parallel or pie shaped segments, each segment just resting on the beams or bolted to or welded to the next one. The joining bars could be flush or project above the screening surface. Support structure can be included for additional strength.

The support grids can be attached to the supporting structure by bolts fixed to the grid or part of the vessel itself.
