Wire basket is a removable filtration element used inside basket strainers, filter housings, and industrial screening equipment. It is typically manufactured from stainless steel wire mesh, perforated metal, or wedge wire, designed to capture solid particles from liquid or gas flow systems.

When the fluid passes through the basket, contaminants such as rust, sand, scale, or welding debris are retained in the mesh while the clean fluid continues downstream. This process protects pumps, valves, heat exchangers, and other equipment from damage caused by solid particles.

Wire baskets are widely used as replaceable filter elements in industrial filtration systems.
