Wedgewire Lauter Tun Screen

A wedgewire support grid provides the false bottom in a lauter tun.  Typically, the screen has
 .030" to .040"  slot openings to hold back the solids and allow liquids to pass through. 

The solids, not the false bottom, form a filtration medium and hold back  small solids,
 allowing  the otherwise cloudy mash to run out of the lauter tun as a clear liquid. The
 false bottom  of a lauter tun is made of wedge wire screen typically in sections to fit
through the man-way.
