Federal Screen Products Inc.
Manufactured in a variety of designs and offering compatibility, dependability, performance and long service life. Nozzles are fabricated according to our customers’ specific requirements.Typical nozzles can be threaded with a straight thread or a pipe thread, as required. Toggle bolt systems are also available. Manufactured to suit orifice plate designs, nozzles are not restricted by screen diameter, connection type, slot or length.
Extremely strong and durable, providing even flow distribution throughout. Available in both header-lateral and hub-lateral assemblies, Federal Screen’s Wedge Wire Screen laterals and pipe-based laterals can be connected to distributor headers and spider hubs by standard NPT thread, fabricated flanges and ANSI connections, as well as fully welded assemblies.
Manufactured using stainless steel wedge wire and custom-made flanges and housings. Our unique strainer baskets, in combination with our specially selected Wedge Wire profiles, are fabricated for each specific application. Stringent manufacturing standards allow us to produce a top-quality product that is built to perform.
Dependable, strong and effective. Federal Screen panels and sieve bends are ideal in many applications, such as starch processing and wet corn milling, and in mining industries.

Available in one-piece or sectional design
Our support grids are available in a variety of framing options and designs, from one-piece construction to multiple sections. This allows for easy on-site assembly, retrofitting and transporting sections through existing manways. These self-supporting structures have exceptional resistance to collapsing and buckling, even in operations where screens must bear extremely high loads. Media support grids fabricated with Wedge Wire are a good choice when dealing with retaining media in vessels of all types.
Options:
Additional support structure can be offered depending of system requirements.
Better in every way
Compared to wire mesh and perforated metal, Wedge Wire’s continuous slots have more open area. Their consistent slots are more durable and virtually non-clogging to reduce media abrasion.
Designed and manufactured
Our grids have great design flexibility and are constructed in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and from a variety of corrosion-resistant alloys. Specific processes and vessel requirements can be accommodated. For available corrosion-resistant materials, see material list.
Benefits of our support grids include:
- Continuous-slot design provides an increased open area
- The continuous slot formed by V-shaped surface wires ensures a two-point contact between the particles and the slot to minimize clogging
- Wide range of profile wires are available to suit most applications
- High-precision slot sizes are available to meet your requirements
- V-shaped surface wires allow for easy cleaning
- Very low pressure drop
- Additional supports are utilized to accommodate extreme load conditions
- Low maintenance

Providing security in case of catastrophic failure of your media beds
Federal Screen offers custom styles to accommodate your existing spooling restrictions, flow rates, pressures and other needs. Acrylic and stainless steel housings are available.
Easy to maintain
Traps can be designed for easy element removal, if desired. Housings include ports for an optional pressure gauge and/or blowdown ball valve. Stainless steel housings include sight glasses.
Extreme applications
If your application is considered extreme, we will provide the engineering required to ensure that burst or collapse will not be an issue. Extra supports and non-typical wire combinations will be provided to ensure the best results.
Benefits of our resin traps include:
- Continuous-slot design provides an increased open area
- Minimal pressure drop
- Strong and durable

An economical and reliable system for wildlife protection and debris removal from surface water supplies
Intake screens are generally used to filter raw water extracted from surface supplies to eventually be used as cooling water, process water and other applications. Screens are 316(b) compliant with even flow over the entire surface.
Optimum protection for aquatic life
Our intake screens are designed to ensure a constant flow velocity to improve protection of wildlife while reducing costs. There are no moving parts that could break down or wear out, eliminating the need for replacement components and costly repairs.
Airburst System
Over time, as a result of biofouling, the outer screen surface may require periodic cleaning to keep the screen functioning properly. An airburst system can be included as part of the intake screen design, where clearing of accumulated debris from the screen surface is required.
Benefits of our Intake Screens include:
- No moving parts
- Available in corrosion-resistant materials
- Reliable system for aquaculture protection
- V-shaped surface wires allow for easy cleaning
- Minimal pressure drop
- Flexibility of design for specific depths and locations
- Dependable water delivery
- Minimal clogging and maximum water flow
- Compliant with Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act
- Airburst cleaning system available

MBBR System Screens
The wastewater treatment industry has a variety of applications which has benefited from the use of wedge wire screens. Available in flat, curved or cylindrical form, wedge wire is widely used in the reduction of solids in residential and industrial applications.
Reducing the environmental pollution
A direct result in using wedge wire screens in the wastewater treatment applications has been a reduction of environmental pollution levels and lower operational costs over the years.
Commonly used as the first element of filtration during the operation at wastewater treatment plants, screening removes objects such as paper, plastics rags and metals that would damage and create clogging to the downstream equipment, piping, and appurtenances. Some of the newer wastewater plants will use multiple screens with coarse to fine slot types. We manufacture both types and to our customers’ drawings and specifications.
Fine screens
These are used to remove smaller particulate that create operation and maintenance problems. Fine screen openings are around the 0.06” to 0.25” range, and very fine screens can be fabricated with openings of 0.01” to 0.06”. They can reduce suspended solids to levels near those achieved by primary clarification.
Coarse screens
These are used by many OEMs in equipment designed to remove large solids and debris from wastewater flows. Slot sizes are typically larger than the 0.025” range.
Benefits of our Wastewater Screens include:
- Stronger and more durable due to resistance welding
- Wide range of profile wire is available to suit most systems
- High-precision slot sizes are available to meet your requirements
- For surface filtration, the V-shaped surface wires allow for easy cleaning by mechanical scraping or backflushing or with the use of spray heads
- Ease of replacement will reduce downtime
- Engineered to your specifications
- Robust for vertical wall applications
- No lower sprockets, bushings or guides
- Self-cleaning, when designed to the flow rate required
