Advanced Basket Strainer Systems
Protecting Critical Process Equipment Worldwide

Our horizontal straight-through basket strainers feature deep basket assemblies with typical filtration area-to-pipe cross-section ratios of 4-6:1, reaching up to 8:1 for customized configurations. Initial pressure drop typically remains below 0.07 MPa (10 PSI) under design conditions of clean water or equivalent viscosity media, 40-100 mesh screens, and 0.5-1 m/s flow velocity, significantly reducing pump energy consumption compared to conventional strainers.

Filter elements comprise 2-6 mm perforated stainless steel or duplex steel cylindrical walls covered with metal wire mesh, allowing complete lift-out for cleaning and reuse 150-300 cycles. Material selection depends on process conditions - standard 316L stainless steel suits most applications, while duplex grades 2205/2507 handle aggressive media. For ferromagnetic particle capture, magnetic rod inserts can be integrated to enhance filtration efficiency.

Shell tops feature swing-arm bolts, quick-opening clamps, or pneumatic actuated mechanisms for rapid access. Small diameter units enable maintenance completion within 5 minutes, while larger sizes are controlled to 15-30 minutes. Quick-opening designs eliminate the need for complete bolt removal, reducing downtime and enabling efficient cleaning operations during process turnarounds.

Inlet and outlet connections provide ¼" NPT or flanged pressure tapping points for differential pressure gauges or transmitters. Integration with SCADA or DCS systems enables predictive maintenance strategies, transitioning from reactive shutdowns to planned cleaning schedules. Real-time monitoring prevents sudden production stops and optimizes cleaning intervals based on actual fouling rates rather than fixed schedules.

Shell welding or casting materials include WCB, A105, duplex 2205, super duplex 2507, and nickel-based alloys, corresponding to ASME Class 150-2500 ratings. Design certification per ASME VIII or EN 13445 ensures pressure vessel compliance. For fire-safe applications, cover and shell assemblies can be verified per API 607/ISO 10497 fire testing standards when project specifications require enhanced safety features.

Standard configurations in common materials typically ship within 15-25 business days. Customized designs or exotic alloys may require 4-6 weeks depending on material availability and engineering requirements. Standardized shell designs with replaceable basket elements enable rapid delivery of material, connection, and coating variations to meet project schedules effectively.

Standard warranty covers 12 months from shipment for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Technical support includes application engineering for sizing calculations, materials selection, and differential pressure analysis. Our engineering team provides written recommendations with supporting calculations, and remote technical support continues throughout equipment service life via video conference, phone, and email channels.

For continuous operation requirements, we provide dual basket parallel configurations, three-way switching systems, or integrated IIoT sensor modules for advanced monitoring. These modular solutions eliminate process interruption during maintenance while providing real-time performance data for optimized operation. Automatic switching systems can be integrated with process control systems for seamless operation.

Complete material traceability includes mill test certificates, dimensional inspection reports, and hydrostatic test results. Main body assemblies carry PED/CE certification for European markets, while bottom drain ball valves provide API 6D, API 607 fire-safe, ISO 15848-1 low emission, and CRN certifications ensuring global market compliance and regulatory requirements satisfaction.

Volume pricing applies for quantities starting at 5 pieces of identical specification, with additional discounts for larger quantities and multi-year agreements. Project-specific pricing considers total package value including associated instrumentation and auxiliary equipment. Long-term partnership agreements provide economic benefits while ensuring consistent quality and delivery performance for qualified EPC contractors and system integrators.
