A kind of slot tube where the slot runs in the axial direction, with smooth surface on the inside can be cleaned by a suction plate, a scraper or by Bernoulli effect.

The design of wedge wire screen fiber basket, produces a continuous slot over the length of the basket. Vertical parallel rods, or wires, are arranged in a circle to form a cylindrical shape. The wires are held mechanically in place with metal bands or rings. The size of the gap, or slot, between the wires is precisely set — typical values are 0.10 mm, 0.15 mm, and 0.20 mm.
