High flow-rates in small footprints are easily achieved through the patented design of the Wiese-Flo® Screen. When installed properly one screen actually serves as two units, splitting the flow and separately screening with two grids. This allows for more grid area in the given channel and therefore much less headloss than other designs. The proprietary Wiese-Flo® Bypass Gate™ allows for simple flow bypass without additional channels or lifting equipment.

Minimal friction is achieved through the use of Ultra High Molecular Weight Poly Ethylene (UHMWPE) and Stainless Steel wear surfaces. Close tolerance delrin spacers precisely separate every element, eliminating metal-on-metal wear and extending life of grid. This reduces power requirements and maintenance. Wide tracks and generous radiuses ensure years of trouble-free operation. Stainless steel grid elements provide superior strength while reducing area and headlosses. Unlike plastic elements, our heavy gauge stainless steel links are not susceptible to breaking or snapping off and damaging down stream equipment.

Over the years, and through countless installations, this screen has continued to evolve into what it is today. While many of the early models built in our shop have been operating since the early 1990's, we feel that this screen is second to none when high flows cannot generate high headloss. Our screens are designed for engineers to get the most out of their system, operators and superintendents to maximize their budgets, and maintenance crews to forget they have them.
