Product Details
A basket strainer is a type of mechanical filter used in pipelines to remove debris, scale, and other unwanted particles from flowing liquids. It plays a crucial role in protecting downstream equipment like pumps, valves, and traps from damage.
🔧 How It Works
Basket strainers are typically installed in horizontal pipelines. Inside the strainer housing is a removable basket, usually made of stainless steel mesh or perforated metal, which captures debris as fluid flows through. The basket can be taken out for cleaning, making it a reusable and low-maintenance solution.
