Static Screen Separators

Static screen separators, otherwise known as wedge wire screens, are one of the simplest ways to efficiently separate solids from a waste stream.  The static screen follows the principals of Henri Coandă, where particles in an accelerated fluid stream tend toward the lower pressure area while the fluid as a whole follows a curved path.  This effectively pulls solids away from the wedge wire as the stream of water is literally shaved away leaving only the solids to tumble down the face.
