Hub and Header Lateral Assembly
Wedge wire screen lateral assemblies are expertly categorized into hub lateral assembly and header lateral assembly, each designed for specific installation locations and functional roles within the tank environment.
- The hub lateral assembly is strategically positioned at either the top or bottom of the tank. Its primary purpose is the efficient distribution and collection of liquids at the equipment's outlet, ensuring optimal functionality.
- The header lateral assembly is situated in the tank's midsection to guarantee even liquid distribution and discharge, effectively preventing any undesirable media outflow.
- Hub and header lateral assemblies are available in an array of shapes, including radial type and fish spike type. We offer bespoke design and manufacturing of wedge wire lateral assemblies, accommodating different main pipe diameters and lateral quantities to meet individual customer requirements.
Hub Radial Lateral Assembly
The hub radial lateral assembly features a central hub and multiple screen laterals. Typically installed at the top or bottom of the vessel, it functions as a hub-lateral distributor atop the tank for efficient liquid distribution and as a hub-lateral collector at the base for liquid collection. In radial flow equipment like centrifuges, the hub radial lateral assembly ensures uniform liquid distribution or concentrated collection. It is available in configurations of 4 laterals (cross laterals), 6 laterals, 8 laterals, 16 laterals, featuring one-layer or two-layer screen laterals.
Hub Fish Spike Lateral Assembly
The hub fish spike lateral assembly is distinct from the hub radial lateral assembly, with its primary function being liquid distribution at the tank's summit and liquid collection at the bottom of expansive tanks.
Header Lateral Assembly
Comprising a central header and several screen laterals affixed to both sides of the pipe, the header lateral assembly is utilized in the tank's central region to assure uniform liquid distribution or collection, either within the vessel or at its outlet. This assembly is adept at adjusting to diverse process conditions while maintaining superior distribution efficiency.
