Types Of Industrial Basket Strainers

The presence of unwanted foreign materials in the pipeline is a big problem. Irrespective of the type of fluid this problem occurs. In a pipeline or a pump the flowing fluid can be contaminated by dirt and lumps of foreign material. These foreign materials not only contaminate the liquid but cause damage and clogging to the inlet nozzle, evaporator, pipeline, pump, etc. To curb this never-ending problem, engineers have designed Industrial Basket Strainers. An Industrial Strainer is a closed device vessel designed to remove and retain dirt and other foreign particles.

Types of Industrial Basket Strainer

1. T type Basket Strainerbr>

   The Strainer’s name is derived from its inherent T shape. This type is commonly used in pipeline systems preferably at the beginning of the pipeline. The main advantage of installing the T type Basket Strainer at the front-end of the pipeline is it prevents dirt and other foreign materials from reaching the control valves. It enhances the functioning of the pipelines, prevents leakages, and increases efficiency of the entire system.

2. Y type Basket Strainer

   The Y type Strainer is most commonly used in pipeline systems where only small quantity of solids is expected. This type is mainly used in vacuum pumps, gas pipelines and pressurized pipelines. It offers very low resistance to fluid flow and thus results in low pressure loss.

3. Duplex Basket Strainer

   The Duplex Strainer is used in pipelines where uninterrupted flow of fluid is required. It has a robust structure with two baskets, and the uninterrupted flow of material is achieved by altering the flow of fluid to the second basket when it detects the first is full. Due to its huge popularity, there are a large number of Duplex Strainer Suppliers and Exporters.

Applications of Industrial Basket Strainer

Industrial Strainers find application in a large number of industries like-

1. Food Industry

   Basket Strainers are used to remove pulp, fruit skin and seeds from juices and other beverages. While preparing honey basket strainers are used to remove wax and other impurities. We have many eminent Basket Strainer Manufacturers in India, to cater the ever-growing demand of the Strainers.

2. Marine Industry

   Industrial Strainers have huge applications in the marine industry. They are used in seawater handling, waste water treatment, general cleaning of fuels and fire control.

3. Pulp and Paper

   Basket Strainers are extensively used for cleaning and filtration purposes

4. Process Equipment

   Industrial Strainers help in the protection of equipments like spray nozzles, condensers, heat exchanger, etc.

5. Chemical Processing

   Strainer baskets find innumerable applications in this industry, starting from separation of solids from liquid, protection of equipments, leakage prevention etc.

Industrial Basket Strainers are precision-engineered devices that have successfully curbed the problem of separating impurities from fluid flow. This equipment has improved the performance of several industries like food processing, petrochemicals, cosmetics, cement manufacture etc. Furthermore, they are cost effective and easy to install.
