Basket Type Air Strainer

Basket Type Strainer

At Afility Industrial Filters Pvt. Ltd., A basket strainer is a type of mechanical filtration device commonly used in industrial and commercial applications to remove unwanted solid particles from liquid flows. It is designed to protect equipment such as pumps, valves, and pipelines from damage that can be caused by debris and particulates present in the fluid. The name "basket strainer" comes from its construction, which includes a removable basket-like filter element.

Basket strainers are commonly used in industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, water treatment, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and more. The choice of basket strainer size, mesh size, and material largely depends on the specific application, the type of fluid being processed, and the particle sizes expected in the fluid stream. Proper selection and maintenance of basket strainers are essential to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of the filtration process and to prevent equipment damage and operational disruptions.


Importance Of Basket Type Strainer

Preventative Maintenance

Regular maintenance and cleaning of basket strainers are simpler compared to repairing or replacing damaged equipment downstream. Their design allows for easy removal and cleaning of the trapped particles, preventing build-up and maintaining the efficiency of the strainer and the entire system.

Versatility and Customization

Basket strainers come in various sizes, materials, and configurations to suit specific industry needs. They can be tailored to handle different flow rates, pressures, and types of fluids, making them versatile for diverse applications.

Safety and Compliance

In industries where product purity is crucial for safety and regulatory compliance, basket type strainers are indispensable. They assist in maintaining the required standards by removing contaminants that could compromise product quality or pose risks to consumers.

FAQs
A Basket Type Strainer is a mechanical filtration device used to remove solid particles from liquids or gas in pipelines. It typically consists of a perforated or mesh basket that traps particles as the fluid flows through it.
Fluid flows through the strainer housing, and solid particles larger than the strainer's mesh or perforations are trapped inside the basket. Cleaned fluid then exits the strainer. Periodically, the basket is removed and cleaned to maintain optimal flow and filtration efficiency.
The frequency of cleaning or basket replacement depends on the nature of the contaminants and the strainer's capacity. Regular inspections and maintenance schedules should be established based on your specific application.
