Basket Strainer

Basket strainers are used to separate suspended solids and contaminants from process pipelines in order to protect the downstream equipment.

Its unique feature lies in a high capacity basket filter element, which gives efficient filtration without creating much pressure loss in the pipeline.

Simplex or Duplex designs of basket strainer are provided which provide ease of cleaning and continuous operation.

This industrial strainer can be used to protect various process equipment like pumps, flow meters, valves, heat exchanger, and many more. 

• Large basket provides high dirt-holding capacity.
• Low pressure drop for high-flow applications.
• Easy cleaning and replacement of the basket element.
• Protects pumps, flow meters, heat exchangers, valves and other downstream equipment.
• Removes mud, rust, debris and suspended solids from the process fluid.
• Available in Simplex and Duplex configurations.
• Robust cast or fabricated construction for long service life.
• Interchangeable SS316 basket element for simplified maintenance.

• Fluid: Water, Air, Gas, Petroleum, Steam & Other Process Fluids
• Line Size: 25 NB to 500 NB
• Design Temperature: Up to 200°C (Depending on Type)
• Design Pressure: Up to 10 Kg/cm² (Depending on Type)
• Installation: Horizontal Pipeline

Low-Turbulence Process Fluid Entering

The Basket Strainer takes in the process fluid through the inlet connection and directs it to the larger filtration chamber. The design of the larger housing ensures that the fluid flows easily and maintains low turbulence.

Fluid Filtering

Process fluid enters the SS316 mesh basket strainer and filters through the mesh. The filter mesh prevents any contamination from entering into the pipeline.

Debris Collecting

Debris will accumulate in the basket and the fluid will continue passing through the mesh and moving into the outer chamber thus avoiding damage to other mechanical devices like flow meters.

Filtered Process Fluid Outlets

Filtered process fluid passes through the outlet connection into the pipeline.

Maintenance

The accumulated debris is cleaned using the basket strainer that is removable for cleaning through the cover assembly. Simplex Basket Strainers with bolted covers allow easy servicing while the duplex type enables continued process fluid flow during cleaning.

Material of Construction (MOC)

• Sensing Screen Mesh Configuration: Inner screen fine mesh sizing structural selections available in 20, 40, 80, 100, or 200 squares per inch options.
• Support Structural Layer: Heavy-duty reinforced perforated sheet backing engineered to provide dimensional strength and durability to the primary filter element.

End Connections & Assembly Styles

• Standard Pipe Interfaces: Available as a basket strainer with flanged end layout, built as a basket strainer with screwed end layout, or manufactured with a basket strainer with Butt weld end interface.
• Specialized Welding Joint: Built alternatively with a basket strainer with socket weld end structural connection.

Operating Parameters & Flow Management

• System Design Pressure: Mechanical casing structurally rated up to 10 Kg/cm² maximum operating limits (dependent entirely upon the specified housing model type).
• System Structural Orientation: Configured as a duplex basket strainer consisting of two parallel chambers isolated via bypass valves to facilitate uninterrupted online servicing.

Pump Suction Line Protection: Our basket strainer on the pump suction line filters out large quantities of debris before reaching the pumps, improving the equipment protection.

Flow Meter Protection: It is specifically designed to be a flow meter protection pipe strainer and stops any solid particles from getting to the sensitive measuring devices.

Cleaning Intervals Increased: The stainless steel 316 mesh basket strainer element ensures a big filtration surface for larger quantities of contaminants, decreasing cleaning intervals.

Industrial Filtration Solution: Our chemical process line basket strainer is built for heavy industrial purposes and can filter out particles effectively.
