CUSTOM INDUSTRIAL SCREEN COMPONENTS

Wedge Wire Screen Baskets

A wedge wire screen basket is a cylindrical, conical or shaped screening component with a slotted profile-wire surface. Its rims, supports and connections locate the basket within the separation equipment.

Where this screen fits

Screen baskets serve equipment-specific separation duties. For rotating equipment, speed, loading and the manufacturer’s acceptance criteria are essential inputs. A basket that fits the available space is not necessarily qualified for the intended rotational duty.

CONFIGURATION REFERENCE

Wedge wire screen basket forms in practice

The photographs below are third-party industry references that illustrate cylindrical, conical and removable basket arrangements. They are not Wedge Wire Works production or completed-project claims. Rotating or pressure duty requires the equipment designer’s drawing, loading and acceptance criteria.

Removable filter basket

Handled baskets require clear rim, handle, seating and removal-envelope details in addition to slot and overall dimensions.

Conical basket geometry

Top and bottom diameters, taper, height, flange, roundness and balance requirements must be drawing-controlled.

Strainer basket variants

End plates, reinforcing rings, handles, flange details and flow direction can change with the housing and maintenance method.

Start with basket duty and equipment interface

These are illustrative enquiry profiles, not completed-project claims. They separate stationary strainer requirements from rotating-equipment requirements.

Stationary strainer basket

Provide housing or seat dimensions, rim and handle details, slot, flow direction, retained solids, differential pressure basis and cleaning method.

Rotating or dewatering basket

State machine model, speed, loading, taper, balance requirement, fastening method and the OEM’s inspection and acceptance criteria.

Replacement basket

Send the controlled drawing, equipment reference, photographs, wear pattern, fit problem, material requirement, quantity and destination.

Agree the acceptance points

Identify the characteristics that decide whether the screen is acceptable for your equipment:

  • Basket envelope, taper and mounting dimensions.
  • Slot distribution, rim construction and support arrangement.
  • Drawing-specific acceptance requirements for the intended machine.

Ask for the required inspection records, sampling basis and material documentation in the quotation. Availability and scope need to be confirmed for the order. Review the documentation checklist.

Ordering and replacement details

Send the drawing revision, quantity and delivery destination. For a replacement, include installation photos, the equipment reference and any wear or fit problems.

Material grade, tolerances, minimum order quantity, packing, lead time and delivery terms are agreed in the quotation. A similar-looking product photograph is not a compatibility confirmation.

Questions about wedge wire screen baskets

Can a basket be supplied for rotating equipment?

Submit the equipment specification, operating speed, loading, drawing and required qualification or balancing criteria for review. Compatibility and rotating-duty acceptance must be explicitly agreed for the order.

Is a photograph enough to quote a replacement?

Photos are useful for an initial discussion, but they do not establish critical dimensions, slot tolerance or duty requirements. Provide a drawing or a dimensioned measurement sheet before finalizing the replacement specification.

Strainer basket styles and fit checks
  • Flat-rim, flanged, handled or angled-top configurations: define rim geometry and basket removal space.
  • Include basket OD, height, flange thickness, seal fit, handle and bottom closure.
  • State the differential pressure across the basket; the housing pressure rating is a separate requirement.

Bring your screen requirement.

Send top and bottom diameters, height, taper, slot, profile and support arrangement, flange or rim details, duty, equipment reference, quantity and destination.
