In the evolving landscape of industrial filtration and process engineering, efficiency, precision, and reliability are key to maintaining high performance and consistent output. Whether in water treatment, chemical processing, or industrial refining, the quality of screening and filtration components determines the success of the entire system. Linker Screens, a trusted global manufacturer, leads the industry in producing advanced scallops, outlet collectors, and conical wedge wire screens, designed to optimize flow, enhance durability, and improve process performance.
Scallops – Precision Components for Reactor and Tower Support
In industrial reactors and towers, scallops are essential components used to provide support, facilitate flow distribution, and enhance overall mass transfer efficiency. These precisely engineered metal components are designed to hold and secure catalyst or packing materials while allowing smooth passage of fluids or gases.
Linker Screens manufactures high-quality scallops that ensure uniform liquid and gas distribution, which is vital in distillation, absorption, and stripping processes. Each scallop is meticulously crafted using premium materials such as stainless steel or duplex alloys, ensuring resistance to corrosion, deformation, and thermal stress.
The design of Linker Screens’ scallops promotes optimal contact between liquid and vapor phases, reducing channeling and improving process efficiency. Their robust construction also ensures longevity, even under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. Whether used in chemical reactors, refinery towers, or petrochemical columns, these scallops deliver consistent and reliable performance that supports stable plant operations.
Outlet Collector – Ensuring Smooth Flow and Reliable Discharge
At the base of many filtration and separation systems lies the outlet collector, a critical component responsible for evenly collecting and discharging processed fluids or gases. The performance of an outlet collector directly affects the efficiency and stability of the entire system.
Linker Screens designs and fabricates outlet collectors that provide superior hydraulic balance and structural integrity. Each collector is engineered to ensure uniform flow distribution, minimize pressure drop, and prevent clogging or backflow.
Typically built with wedge wire or perforated screen structures, Linker Screens’ outlet collectors can withstand extreme operating conditions in chemical plants, oil refineries, and water treatment facilities. Their design allows for high mechanical strength while maintaining maximum open area for fluid passage.
Moreover, Linker Screens customizes outlet collectors based on specific application needs—considering factors like flow rate, temperature, chemical compatibility, and installation configuration. This tailored engineering approach guarantees optimal system performance, longer equipment lifespan, and reduced maintenance requirements.
Conical Wedge Wire Screen – Precision Filtration for Complex Applications
Among Linker Screens’ most advanced filtration products is the conical wedge wire screen, known for its precision, strength, and versatility. Designed in a cone-shaped form, this screen structure provides a large filtration area with excellent mechanical stability, making it ideal for applications involving high flow rates and pressure.
The conical wedge wire screen combines the durability of stainless steel with the precision of wedge wire technology, where V-shaped wire profiles are welded onto support rods to create a continuous slot structure. This design ensures smooth fluid flow while effectively preventing particle clogging, resulting in efficient and low-maintenance filtration.
Linker Screens manufactures conical wedge wire screens for a wide range of industries, including food processing, petrochemical, mining, and water treatment. These screens are particularly valued in centrifuges, reactors, and dewatering systems where space efficiency and robust construction are critical.
Each conical wedge wire screen is custom-designed to match specific operating requirements, including cone angle, slot size, diameter, and flow direction. The result is a durable, high-performance screen that delivers precise filtration, exceptional load-bearing capacity, and extended service life.
