The selection of the most suitable filtering element for the specific operating conditions, its correct sizing and the quality of its construction are critical factors in the filtration and separation stages of water treatment (waste water and process fluids) and waste treatment (slurries, sludge and digestate for biogas production) processes.
The wedge wire screens and perforated plates used in screw presses, rotary drum screens, self-cleaning filters, rotosieves and static screens, or in other machinery with similar functions, can be decisive for the efficiency of the machinery and for the end result of the process itself.
Costacurta has been manufacturing a broad range of filtering elements, such as woven wire cloths and meshes, perforated plates and wedge wire screens, for use in numerous industries and applications, for over 100 years.

Contact us for adviceFlexible production and strict quality controls
The high quality of Costacurta’s filtering elements depends on a number of factors including the choice of raw material. The materials and sizes of the wires and plates are chosen to meet the customer’s specific needs. The chemical and mechanical properties of the materials used are closely monitored and checked.
Production is characterized by a high level of automation, the experience and skills of the operators and constant quality controls both during production and on the finished product using laser, mechanical and optical instruments.
SPECIAL ELEMENTS
From its own perforated plates, Costacurta can also manufacture various types of special elements, such as baskets, cones, half-shells and crowns.
These elements are characterised by a highly complex production process that complies with extremely strict design specifications and dimensional tolerances.
Tailor-made services
Costacurta provides tailor-made services also for orders of small quantities and dimensions.
Product development and consultancy
Thanks to its long-standing experience in the production of a wide range of filtering elements (wire cloths and meshes, perforated plates and wedge wire screens), Costacurta is able to help clients choose the best filtering element for their process and performance needs and, if required, to develop specific components able to meet highly specific filtering and separation needs in accordance with strict dimensional tolerances.
Project management
The sales&project managers accompany clients throughout the project: from the request for a quotation to the selection of the component, its construction and installation, and after-sales support.
Flexibility
The company can fulfil specific requests, including orders of small quantities, guaranteeing a high service level thanks to the stock of plates and wires in different materials and dimensions.
Stock Agreements
When requested, Costacurta can keep a stock of finished products in quantities agreed on with the client that that can be collected when needed.
