Marine Basket Type Strainer
Marine Basket Type Strainers are used in pipelines carrying oil or other liquids to filter out contaminants. Their filtration area is 2 to 3 times larger than that of a pipe with the same nominal diameter, far exceeding the filtration area of Y- and T-strainers. These strainers offer the highest filtration precision among all strainer types, and their mesh structure differs from that of other strainers.
Overview
Design:
A basket strainer primarily consists of a connecting pipe, a housing, a filter basket, flanges, a flange cover, and fasteners. When installed in a pipeline, it removes larger solid impurities from the fluid, enabling machinery and equipment (including compressors, pumps, etc.) and instruments to operate normally. This helps stabilize the process and ensures safe production.
Function:
Basket strainers are compact device designed to remove small amounts of solid particles from liquids, thereby protecting compressors, pumps, instruments, and other equipment from malfunction. When fluid enters the filter housing—which contains a filter screen of a specific mesh size—impurities are trapped, while the clean filtrate is discharged through the filter outlet. When cleaning is required, simply remove the removable filter housing, clean it, and reinstall it; thus, the filter is extremely easy to use and maintain.
