A Basket Type Strainer is a highly efficient filtration device designed to remove solid particles, debris, rust, scale, and other contaminants from liquid pipelines and process systems. Featuring a large basket-shaped filtering element, this strainer provides a greater filtration area, resulting in lower pressure drop, higher dirt-holding capacity, and extended service intervals compared to other strainer types.
Basket Type Strainers are widely used in industries such as oil & gas, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, water treatment, power generation, and petrochemical plants. They are installed upstream of pumps, valves, flow meters, heat exchangers, and other critical equipment to protect them from damage caused by unwanted particles.
Designed for durability and easy maintenance, Basket Type Strainers allow quick removal and cleaning of the filter basket, ensuring uninterrupted process performance and reduced maintenance costs.
