Basket Strainers
What is a basket strainer?
The basket strainer typically consists of a perforated or mesh-lined basket or chamber that captures solid particles suspended in the fluid as it passes through. The fluid enters the strainer housing and flows through the basket, while the solid particles are trapped inside. The clean fluid then exits the strainer.
Basket strainers are designed for relatively coarse filtration, typically capturing particles larger than 100 microns, although finer mesh options are available for more precise filtration requirements. They are often used as a pre-filter to protect more sensitive downstream equipment, such as pumps, valves, heat exchangers, and pipelines, from damage caused by debris in the fluid.
