Basket Screen in Jaipur
A Basket Screen is a type of mechanical screening equipment used for removing coarse and fine suspended solids, debris, and floating matter from water, wastewater, or industrial process streams. It consists of a cylindrical or semi-cylindrical basket-shaped screen made of perforated metal plates, wedge wire, or mesh that traps unwanted particles while allowing the liquid to pass through.
Basket screens are commonly installed at the intake points of pumps, pipelines, and treatment systems to prevent clogging, protect downstream equipment, and ensure smooth operation of processes. They can be manually cleaned or equipped with self-cleaning mechanisms depending on the application.
