Hub and Header Lateral Assembly
Our wedge wire screen lateral assemblies are ingeniously categorized into hub lateral assemblies and header lateral assemblies. This classification is based on their strategic installation positions and distinct functions within the tank, ensuring optimal performance.
- The hub lateral assembly is meticulously designed for installation at either the top or bottom of the tank. Its fundamental role is to ensure the efficient distribution and collection of liquids, precisely at the equipment's outlet.
- The header lateral assembly is expertly positioned in the middle section of the tank. It guarantees an even distribution and discharge of liquids, while adeptly preventing any undesired flow of media outside the system.
- Our hub and header lateral assemblies are available in a multitude of shapes, including the radial type and the innovative fish spike type. We pride ourselves on our ability to design and manufacture wedge wire lateral assemblies featuring varying main pipe diameters and lateral quantities, tailored precisely to each customer's unique specifications.
Hub Radial Lateral Assembly
The hub radial lateral assembly comprises a central hub coupled with several screen laterals. Typically installed at the vessel's top or bottom, it functions as a hub-lateral distributor for liquid distribution at the top, and as a hub-lateral collector for liquid collection at the bottom. Especially beneficial in radial flow equipment like centrifuges, it ensures uniform distribution or concentrated collection. The assembly can be configured with various lateral arrangements such as 4 (cross laterals), 6, 8, 16 laterals, with options for single or double-layer laterals.
Hub Fish Spike Lateral Assembly
Distinct from the hub radial lateral assembly, the hub fish spike lateral assembly is primarily utilized for liquid distribution at the top and collection at the bottom in large tanks, offering superior efficacy for sizeable operations.
Header Lateral Assembly
The header lateral assembly is composed of a central header with multiple screen laterals adeptly mounted on either side of the pipe. Its role in the middle section of the tank is crucial, ensuring not just even distribution but also efficient collection of liquids at the vessel's outlet. This assembly is engineered to adapt seamlessly to diverse process conditions while maintaining remarkable distribution efficiency.
