Basket Strainer - Coarse - filtration & Pipeline Protection Guardian

DATE:2025-05-06Number of views: Source:LEFILTER

With its basket - shaped filter screen structure and straight - through design, the basket strainer efficiently intercepts large - sized particles in pipeline fluids. Combining low - cost maintenance and high reliability, it serves as a fundamental protective device for industrial pipeline systems.

I. Product Introduction

The basket filter is a small device that removes a small amount of solid particles in the liquid, which can protect the normal operation of the device. When the fluid enters the filter cartridge with a certain size filter screen, its impurities are blocked, and the clean filtrate is discharged from the filter outlet. When it needs to be cleaned, just take out the detachable filter cartridge and reload it after processing.

II. Working Process

  1. Fluid Inflow: The fluid to be filtered enters the strainer through the inlet and directly impacts the outer side of the basket - shaped filter screen.

  2. Impurity Interception: The filter screen traps large - sized impurities such as rust, welding slag, and sand. The clean fluid passes through the mesh holes into the inner side of the screen and flows out through the outlet.

  3. Maintenance and Cleaning: When the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet significantly increases (e.g., exceeds 0.1MPa) or during regular maintenance, close the upstream and downstream valves, open the top or side cover of the strainer, remove the filter screen, and clean the attached impurities using high - pressure water flushing or mechanical methods. Reinstall the screen after cleaning to resume operation.

VI. FAQ

  1. How often does the basket strainer need to be cleaned?
    It depends on the impurity content of the fluid, usually checked every 1 - 3 months. Immediate cleaning is required if the inlet - outlet pressure difference exceeds 0.1MPa.

  2. Can it filter viscous liquids?
    Medium - to low - viscosity liquids can be filtered by selecting a large - mesh screen (e.g., 10 - 20 mesh), but the cleaning frequency needs to be increased to prevent blockage.

  3. What precautions should be taken during installation?
    Ensure the flow arrow is consistent with the fluid direction during installation; regularly check the condition of the sealing gasket to prevent leakage; reserve space for screen removal when installing vertically.
