JX Filtration March 14, 2024 Wedge Wire Basket

Stainless steel filter baskets are generally divided into three types:

Standard type, with flanges and handles, flat mouth shape, also known as flat mouth filter basket. This type of filter basket has a wide range of applications and relatively low cost.
Slanting type, with a slanting angle usually at 45 degrees.
Filter baskets for bag filters, which are placed inside bag filters, and filter bags are also placed inside the filter baskets. Bag filters typically contain 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, or 11 filter baskets. Bag filters are available in several sizes such as No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5. The most common ones in the market are No. 2 and No. 5, and there are also many stainless steel filter cores available for No. 2 and No. 5 filters.

Material of the filter basket:

Usually made of stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316, and 316L, with special materials like 2205.

Construction of the filter basket:

Typically, the filter basket consists of stainless steel wire mesh and perforated mesh. The perforated mesh is shaped, and stainless steel mesh is added inside. The perforated mesh serves a protective function, while the actual filtration is done by the stainless steel wire mesh, which determines the filtration accuracy. Filter baskets in bag filters do not require the addition of stainless steel woven mesh because metal and non-metal filter bags are separately added inside the filter basket. The filter bag is the product used for filtration.
