At US Screen Co., precision wire profiles are the foundation of every high-performance screening and separation solution we manufacture. From filtration and dewatering to intake protection and material classification, selecting the correct wire type and slot size is critical to system efficiency, durability, and long-term performance.

We produce precision-engineered wire profiles designed to deliver consistent slot openings, structural integrity, and reliable operation in demanding industrial environments. Whether you are designing new equipment or replacing existing components, our team works with you to determine the right wire profile for your specific application.


Precision Manufacturing for Demanding Applications

Industrial screening systems require more than just material strength — they require dimensional accuracy and consistent performance. Our wire profiles are manufactured with strict attention to tolerances, ensuring uniform openings and dependable separation results.

Each wire type is selected based on factors such as:

  • Flow rate requirements
  • Solids retention specifications
  • Operating pressure and load conditions
  • Abrasiveness of materials
  • Cleaning method and maintenance cycles
  • Equipment configuration

By understanding your process requirements, we help ensure the right wire profile is used for maximum efficiency and service life.


Our Wire Types

We manufacture and fabricate the following wire types:

Wedge Wire

A precision-shaped wire profile commonly used in screening and filtration systems where continuous slot openings and clog resistance are critical.

Looped Wire

Designed for durability and resilience in applications subject to vibration, impact, or heavy material loads.

Profile Wire

Custom-shaped wire used in precision separation applications requiring controlled slot geometry and structural stability.

Each wire type offers distinct performance characteristics depending on the operating environment and application requirements.


Custom Sizes & Configurations

We offer a wide range of wire dimensions and fabrication options to meet OEM and replacement specifications. Custom configurations are available to ensure proper fit, structural strength, and optimal separation performance.

Available materials may include various grades of stainless steel and other alloys suitable for industrial processing environments.


Built for Industrial Performance

Our wire profiles are used across multiple industries, including:

  • Water and wastewater treatment
  • Pulp and paper processing
  • Mining and mineral operations
  • Food and beverage production
  • Agricultural and industrial separation systems

All products are proudly manufactured in the USA and built to perform in demanding operating conditions.
