With its high-efficiency filtration, corrosion-resistant materials, and easy-to-maintain design, this strainer effectively captures solid impurities, safeguarding critical equipment like pumps, valves, and heat exchangers. Whether you're dealing with liquids or gases, this basket strainer is designed to enhance system efficiency and prolong equipment lifespan.

What is a Basket Strainer?

A Basket Strainer is an essential filtration device used to trap and remove solid particles from the flow of liquids or gases within piping systems. This strainer uses a basket-shaped filter to collect debris, ensuring that only filtered media passes through the pipeline. This design makes it especially useful in systems where high levels of contaminants can interfere with equipment performance. Basket strainers are commonly found in industries requiring consistent and reliable filtration to protect downstream components.

How Does a Basket Strainer Work?

The operational principle of a Basket Strainer is simple but highly effective. As fluid enters the strainer, it flows through a perforated or mesh basket that traps solid particles. The clean liquid or gas then exits the strainer and continues its flow through the system. The basket is easily removable, allowing for quick cleaning and reinstallation, which helps maintain the system’s performance and prevents costly breakdowns. This simple, low-maintenance design is ideal for industrial applications requiring regular filter cleaning.

Key Features of the ANSI 150 Cast Steel Basket Strainer

High-Efficiency Filtration: The basket-shaped filter is engineered for maximum efficiency, capturing solid impurities to prevent debris from clogging or damaging valves, pumps, and other critical components in the pipeline.

Corrosion Resistance: Built from durable materials such as cast steel or stainless steel, the strainer is resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for handling various media, including corrosive liquids and gases.

Easy Installation and Maintenance: With flanged connections, the strainer is straightforward to install, remove, and maintain. The ease of cleaning or replacing the filter basket helps minimize downtime and simplifies maintenance routines.
