Inlet and outlet baskets are cylindrical wedge wire screens installed at vessel nozzles to prevent solids from migrating out through the outlet or entering and damaging internals through the inlet. Baskets attach to the vessel by welding to the head, bolting to tower attachments, or matching with a flanged projection. Diameter and length are sized to ensure more open area than the nozzle, preventing meaningful pressure drop addition. Slot size, wire profile, and material are selected to match the particle size and process fluid requirements. Hub laterals are available for larger diameter vessels where uniform liquid distribution through media across the vessel diameter is required. TrayTec supplies inlet and outlet baskets to your vessel nozzle and process specification.

The basket is designed to provide more open area than the nozzle it protects so that even with partial solids accumulation on the screen surface, the basket does not become the hydraulic bottleneck in the system. If basket open area is undersized, solids buildup will create a pressure drop that increases over time until flow is restricted. Contact TrayTec with your nozzle size and expected solids loading to confirm the correct basket dimensions.
Baskets are attached by welding to the vessel head, bolting to internal tower attachments, or flanged projection matching the nozzle flange. The correct attachment method depends on vessel access, nozzle orientation, and whether the basket needs to be removable for cleaning or replacement. Contact TrayTec with your vessel nozzle drawing to confirm the appropriate attachment configuration.
Hub laterals are specified in larger diameter vessels where a single outlet basket cannot distribute flow uniformly across the full vessel cross-section. The hub and lateral arrangement extends collection or distribution points across the vessel diameter, ensuring even flow through the media bed above or below. Contact TrayTec with your vessel diameter and flow requirements to confirm whether a basket or hub lateral configuration is appropriate.
