Wedge Wire Resin Traps

A resin trap, often referred to as a resin trap strainer or filter, is a device designed to capture and remove unwanted particles, debris, or contaminants from a fluid stream.

A resin trap consists of a pipe housing and a resin trap screen. A resin trap wedge wire screen protects your media beds in the event of a catastrophic failure. Generally, resin trap screens are flanged at the bottom of a sand filter tank or mixed bed and protected by mostly stainless steel or plastic housing. When the resin or media passes by, it can be intercepted and captured by the wedge wire filter screens. At the same time, the captured resin or media can be discharged out of the system by flushing automatically through the differential pressure between the front and rear installed near the outlet of the water system line. 

Furthermore, wedge wire resin trap screens should be considered in the backwash lines of most ion exchange and carbon systems because temperature-related flow changes can cause these costly materials to be flushed.

Applications

Resin traps are widely used in scenarios such as resin retention and media treatment.

• Seawater desalination in industrial water uses

• Running water treatment and softening processes in domestic water

• Condensate polishers

• Softeners

• Carbon filters

• Dealkalizers demineralizes
