Description

Basket Type Strainer

A basket type strainer is a mechanical filtration device used to remove unwanted solid particles from liquid or gas pipelines. It uses a removable basket-shaped filter element that collects debris while allowing the process media to continue through the pipeline.

Unitek Valves manufactures and supplies industrial strainers for different process and pipeline requirements. Selection can be based on line size, pressure rating, temperature, filtration level, media, body material, and connection type.

Basket Strainers for Industrial Applications

Basket strainers are commonly used in oil and gas, chemical processing, petrochemical plants, power generation, water treatment, and general industrial systems. They help protect pumps, valves, meters, heat exchangers, and other downstream equipment from contamination.

An industrial basket strainer can be selected according to the required flow rate, particle size, pressure, temperature, and process media. Proper sizing helps maintain efficient filtration without creating excessive pressure loss.

Simplex and Duplex Basket Strainers

A simplex basket strainer uses a single filtration chamber and is suitable for applications where the pipeline can be temporarily stopped for cleaning or basket replacement.

A duplex basket strainer has two filtration chambers. Flow can be directed through one chamber while the other basket is isolated for cleaning or maintenance. This arrangement can be useful for continuous-process applications.

Both simplex basket type strainer and duplex basket type strainer configurations can be selected according to plant operating requirements.

Flanged and Material Options

A flanged basket strainer is designed with flanged ends for connection to compatible pipeline flanges. This configuration is commonly used in industrial piping systems where secure connections and convenient maintenance are required.

A stainless steel basket strainer can be considered for applications requiring corrosion resistance and suitable media compatibility. Carbon steel basket strainers provide a practical option for many industrial services.

Cast steel basket strainers can be selected for applications requiring robust construction and suitable pressure performance.

High Pressure and High Temperature Applications

A high pressure basket strainer should be selected according to the required pressure class, flow conditions, and process requirements. The body, basket, gasket, and other components should be suitable for the operating service.

For elevated-temperature applications, a high temperature basket strainer can be specified with appropriate materials and sealing components. Actual pressure and temperature conditions should be confirmed before selection.

Pipeline, Oil and Gas and Water Applications

A pipeline basket strainer can help remove debris from process lines and protect downstream equipment. Its removable basket allows cleaning and inspection during scheduled maintenance.

An oil and gas basket strainer can be used in suitable production, processing, storage, and transfer systems. Material and filtration specifications should match the process media and operating conditions.

A basket strainer for water is commonly used in water treatment, cooling systems, utility pipelines, and compatible industrial applications.

Manufacturer and Supplier in India

Unitek Valves is a basket strainer manufacturer and supplier in India, offering filtration solutions for industrial, pipeline, water, oil and gas, chemical, and process applications.

As a basket strainer exporter, Unitek Valves can supply customers in domestic and international markets. Products can also be sourced through suitable basket strainer dealers.

For accurate basket strainer price information, customers should provide the required size, pressure rating, material, filtration rating, connection type, temperature, and media.

The Basket Strainer is designed where high capacity of flow and dirt holding is desirable. A large filtering area ensures low pressure drop and is highly efficient.

Easy to clean or replace the basket for servicing. Top opening ensures that access for cleaning is extremely convenient. For continuous operation without pipeline shut down the Duplex basket strainer type is the correct choice.
