Wedges

🛢️Downhole Drilling Wedges are typically steel or sometimes composite parts that slide or bolt into place along the sides and middle of the screen panel frame.

They apply a precise, downward clamping force to lock the screen panel firmly against the vibrating deck

This secure fit prevents the screen from moving independently of the deck, which eliminates the damaging “chatter” or “slapping” that can cause premature screen failure (blinding or ripping).
