What is Wedge Wire Basket

JX Filtration August 15, 2025 Wedge Wire Basket

A centrifuge basket is a device used for the separation and classification of powder materials. By utilizing sieve openings of different sizes, the basket separates raw materials according to particle size, achieving grading and separation.

Principle and Structure

The centrifuge basket primarily consists of a screen mesh, a supporting structure, and a frame.

Screen Mesh – The key component that determines the particle size distribution. It is typically made of metallic wire or synthetic fibers, with openings of various sizes tailored to specific needs.
Supporting Structure – Provides rigidity and stability to the screen mesh, usually made from robust metal or composite materials.
Frame – Forms the external structure of the basket, securing and protecting the screen mesh.

Applications

Centrifuge baskets are widely used in industries such as mining, coal, petroleum, fertilizers, grain processing, and environmental protection—particularly in wedge wire screen applications.

Important Note

Selecting the wrong centrifuge basket can negatively affect the overall performance and service life of the centrifuge. Proper installation is essential to ensure the basket functions effectively within the centrifuge, maintaining optimal performance and operational safety.
