SBB Stainless Steel Wedge Wire

SBB Stainless Steel Wedge Profile Wire Overview

SBB Stainless Steel Wedge Profile Wire is a heavy-duty wedge-shaped surface wire used for wedge wire screens, dewatering equipment, centrifuge baskets and industrial separation systems. Compared with standard SB profile wire, SBB profiles use a heavier cross section for applications requiring greater rigidity, wear resistance and load capacity.

SAKY STEEL supplies SBB wedge profile wire in common stainless steel grades such as 304 and 316. Profile designation, cross-sectional dimensions, dimensional tolerance, surface condition and delivery form can be reviewed according to customer drawings and downstream screen-manufacturing requirements.

SBB Heavy-Duty Wedge Profile Characteristics

Feature SBB Profile Characteristic
Heavy Cross Section Designed with a larger profile section than lighter standard wedge profiles.
Higher Rigidity Suitable for screen structures exposed to higher mechanical loads.
Wider Welding Area The lower section provides a larger contact area when welded to supporting profiles.
Wear Resistance Heavy-duty profile geometry is suitable for abrasive screening and dewatering applications.
Custom Screen Design Profile type can be selected according to required slot, load, screen geometry and operating conditions.

SBB Wedge Wire Profile Sizes

The following SBB profiles are commonly used as heavy-duty working wires. Other profile dimensions can be reviewed according to screen design and customer drawings.

SBB Type A - Profile Width B - Profile Height Profile Use
SBB34 2.20 mm 5.00 mm Heavy-duty wedge surface wire
SBB38 2.50 mm 4.00 mm Heavy-duty wedge surface wire
SBB42 2.80 mm 6.50 mm Heavy-duty wedge surface wire
SBB48 3.40 mm 6.00 mm Heavy-duty wedge surface wire
SBB50 3.50 mm 8.00 mm Heavy-duty wedge surface wire
SBB76 5.00 mm 10.00 mm Extra-heavy wedge surface wire

Profile dimensions should be confirmed against the required SBB designation or approved cross-sectional drawing before production.

SB vs SBB Wedge Profile Wire

SB and SBB profiles are both used as working surface wires in wedge wire screens. The main difference is the profile section and the intended mechanical duty.

Feature SB Profile SBB Profile
Profile Design Standard wedge-shaped working wire Heavier reinforced wedge profile
Section Weight Lower Higher
Rigidity Suitable for general screening Designed for higher-load structures
Welding Contact Area Standard Larger lower welding section
Typical Applications Food, water treatment and general filtration Mining, dewatering, centrifuge baskets and heavy-duty screening

304 vs 316 SBB Wedge Wire

Grade Main Characteristic Typical Selection
304 Good general corrosion resistance with economical material cost General screening, industrial filtration and dewatering
316 Improved resistance to chloride-containing and more corrosive environments Water treatment, chemical processing and demanding wet-service screens

Stainless Steel Profile Wire Product Reference

SAKY STEEL supplies different precision stainless steel profile wires in coiled and straight forms. The images below show representative shaped-wire products and surface conditions. Final SBB geometry is manufactured according to the specified profile designation or customer drawing.

Stainless Steel Profile Wire Shape Reference

SBB wedge wire belongs to a broader family of stainless steel profile wires. The following existing SAKY STEEL profile-wire data can be used as a general cross-section reference. SBB dimensions should follow the dedicated SBB table above.

Profile Type Reference Max Size Reference Min Size
Flat Round Edge 10 × 2 mm 1 × 0.25 mm
Flat Square Edge 10 × 2 mm 1 × 0.25 mm
T-Section 12 × 5 mm 2 × 1 mm
D-Section 12 × 5 mm 2 × 1 mm
Half Round 10 × 5 mm 0.06 × 0.03 mm
Oval 10 × 5 mm 0.06 × 0.03 mm
Triangle 12 × 5 mm 2 × 1 mm
Wedge 12 × 5 mm 2 × 1 mm
Square 7 × 7 mm 0.05 × 0.05 mm

The dimensions above are general references for the broader stainless steel profile-wire range and should not be used as substitutes for SBB profile specifications.

Custom SBB Profile Dimensions

For custom SBB wedge wire, a cross-sectional drawing is recommended. Profile geometry directly affects welding contact, screen slot design, structural rigidity and finished screen performance.

Profile Parameter Information to Specify
SBB Type SBB34 / SBB38 / SBB42 / SBB48 / SBB50 / SBB76 or Custom
Working Width Top surface dimension of the profile
Profile Height Overall finished profile height
Lower Section Rear / welding-side geometry and width
Side Angle Required wedge angle when critical
Corner Radius Radius requirement where applicable
Tolerance Mark critical dimensions requiring tighter dimensional control

SBB Wedge Wire Manufacturing & Dimensional Control

SBB wedge wire is produced through controlled profile forming and cold working. Processing parameters are selected according to stainless steel grade, profile type, cross-sectional dimensions and required tolerance.

Stainless Steel Wire → Cold Drawing / Profile Forming → Intermediate Processing → Sizing → Surface Finishing → Dimensional Inspection → Packaging

For precision wedge profiles, particular attention is given to working width, profile height and lower welding geometry because these dimensions directly affect screen fabrication and slot consistency.

Inspection & Quality Control

Inspection Item Purpose
Material Verification Confirm stainless steel grade and material traceability
Profile Width Verify working-surface width according to the approved profile
Profile Height Check finished section height and dimensional consistency
Cross-Section Geometry Check wedge angle, lower section and other profile dimensions
Surface Inspection Check bright or smooth surface and visible defects
Coil / Length Inspection Verify delivery form, coil condition and ordered length or quantity
Documentation MTC and agreed dimensional inspection documents as required

Heavy-Duty Applications of SBB Wedge Wire

The reinforced SBB profile is mainly selected for screen structures requiring greater section rigidity, wear resistance and load capacity than lighter wedge profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SBB wedge wire?

SBB is a heavy-duty wedge profile wire series used as the working surface wire in demanding wedge wire screens, dewatering equipment and separation systems.

What is the difference between SB and SBB wedge wire?

SB is a standard wedge working profile, while SBB uses a heavier cross section designed for greater rigidity and higher mechanical loads. Selection should be based on screen design, slot requirement and operating conditions.

What are the common SBB profile sizes?

Common profiles include SBB34 at 2.20 × 5.00 mm, SBB38 at 2.50 × 4.00 mm, SBB42 at 2.80 × 6.50 mm, SBB48 at 3.40 × 6.00 mm, SBB50 at 3.50 × 8.00 mm and SBB76 at 5.00 × 10.00 mm.

Can custom SBB profiles be produced?

Custom profile requirements can be reviewed according to the required working width, height, lower welding section, wedge angle, radius and dimensional tolerances.

Should I choose 304 or 316 SBB wedge wire?

304 is suitable for many general industrial applications. 316 is commonly selected where improved resistance to chloride-containing, chemical or wet-service environments is required.

Can SBB wire be supplied in coils?
