Basket Filter Used for Chemical Industry for Particles Removal

Description

The filter media of basket strainer is plain weave wire mesh. Perforated metal / plate forms the basket and support the wire mesh for better strength to resist pressure.

A basket strainer screen is generally used for coarse filtration or with low contamination. The dirt/ impurity strained in the basket screen insert can be easily removed during maintenance.

The major advantage of a basket strainer is that it is cleanable and reusable. As for piping system, strainers are of great importance to protect equipment, such as pumps, meters, valves, other mechanical parts etc. from potential damage due to impurity and other foreign particles carried by the process fluid (oil, water, etc).

As a filter element, basket strainer screen is usually made of perforated metal plate or screen mesh to remove larger particles. When fine mesh is used to filter the particles, perforated metal plate or screen mesh may also be used to support the fine mesh for better strength and life time.
