screen basket for dewatering and screening

Welcome to Hebei YUBO Filtration Equipment Co.,Ltd.

A new wave of efficiency is sweeping through industries that depend on precision solid-liquid separation. The wedge wire screen basket for dewatering and screening is emerging as a benchmark in robust, efficient, and low-maintenance filtration equipment.

What Makes Wedge Wire Screen Baskets Stand Out

Built from Vee wire, also referred to as wedge wire, these screen baskets are rigidly welded onto support rods and form cylindrical or conical structures optimized for centrifugal applications, such as dehydration, screening, and filtration.

Unlike perforated metal baskets, which offer less open area, or woven mesh baskets, which may lack structural strength, wedge wire screen baskets deliver both high open area and structural durability. Their extended lifespan and resistance to wear make them a cost-effective and reliable option.

Key Features & Benefits
✔ High Throughput & Precision Screening
Narrow, precisely formed slots enable effective dewatering and screening, retaining solids while allowing liquids to pass through efficiently.
✔ Self-Cleaning and Low Clogging
The wedge shape naturally repels material buildup, delivering a near self-cleaning effect, reducing maintenance needs.
✔ Structural Strength & Longevity
Advanced welding techniques, such as ring welding, yield high roundness, coaxiality, and compressive strength, especially valuable in high-speed centrifuge environments.
✔ Customizable Materials and Slot Sizes
Built using stainless steel grades like 304, 316, duplex 2205, and alloy types such as Hastelloy, these screen baskets are tailored for corrosive, abrasive, or chemically aggressive conditions.
Slot openings can range from 20 microns (0.02 mm) up to several millimeters, allowing precise control over filtration quality.

Broad Industrial Applications
Wedge wire screen baskets are deployed across:
• Mining and mineral processing: coal enrichment, slurry separation, aggregate dewatering
• Water and wastewater treatment: screening sludge and suspended solids
• Food, pulp, paper, sugar, and starch: fiber recovery, juice extraction, pulp dewatering
• Petrochemical, chemical, fertilizer, and metal processing sectors

Design and Installation Highlights
✔ Conical and Cylindrical Geometry
These shapes align with centrifuge designs to enhance separation performance and facilitate smooth material discharge
Advanced Engineering Wedge Wire Products.
✔ External Reinforcement for Stability
Especially in high-speed applications, baskets feature reinforcement via frames or ribs to withstand vibration and centrifugal loads.
✔ Balanced, Custom Engineering
Many manufacturers offer dynamic balancing, 3D design, and tailored fabrication services to ensure seamless integration and optimal performance

Why It’s Gaining Momentum
✔ Cost Efficiency: Increased throughput, reduced downtime, and minimized maintenance translate to long-term savings.
✔ Reliability: Uniform slots and strong construction ensure consistent performance under harsh operations.
✔ Safety and Compliance: Designed to meet rigorous industrial and environmental standards.

The wedge wire screen basket is not merely a component; it’s a strategic asset that balances precision, durability, and efficiency. Whether managing sludge in wastewater, processing delicate food products, or handling abrasive mineral slurries, industries across the board are finding a reliable ally in this filtration solution.
