Heavy-Duty Wedge Wire Strainer Baskets
The ultimate upgrade for industrial filtration. Our wedge wire baskets offer superior mechanical strength and non-clogging performance, outlasting traditional mesh baskets in the most demanding environments.
High-Precision V-Wire Filter Baskets
A Wedge Wire Strainer Basket is a specialized filter element designed for removing solids from flowing liquids or gases in a piping system. Unlike woven mesh baskets that can tear or bypass, our all-welded V-wire baskets provide a rigid, permanent filtration surface.
Whether you are handling highly viscous oils, abrasive slurries, or sensitive chemicals, our strainer baskets are engineered for low pressure drop and easy backwash cleaning.
Advanced Features
Extreme Durability
Fully welded intersections withstand high differential pressures without collapsing or media migration.
Non-Clogging Surface
The widening V-slot design ensures particles only have two points of contact, making them easy to flush out.
Low Pressure Drop
High open area allows for maximum flow rates, reducing energy costs and pump wear.
Design Options
Standard Baskets
For vertical simplex and duplex strainer housings.
Slanted Baskets
Designed for "Y" or slanted type strainer bodies.
Double-Layer Baskets
Reinforced with perforated metal for ultra-high pressure loads.
Custom Handles
Engineered for easy removal during maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wedge wire is a permanent, rigid structure. Wire mesh is prone to tearing, is difficult to clean, and requires frequent replacement. Wedge wire offers a longer service life and better ROI.
Yes. We can manufacture drop-in replacements. We only need the top ring diameter, total height, and basket body diameter.
Our reinforced baskets can be engineered to handle differential pressures exceeding 150 PSI, depending on the material and support structure.
