What is a Strainer Basket Filter?
Filter basket strainer is a device that uses a mesh sieve to filter out foreign particles in a horizontal pipe. These particles are then removed from the filter and will not enter downstream equipment such as pumps, valves and traps. The basket strainer filter is an inline filter for filtering oil, water, aqueous solutions or aggressive media in chemical and petrochemical plants, heavy industry, energy generation and shipbuilding.
How Does the Strainer Basket Filter Work?
Basket strainers are installed to protect the equipment from damage caused by unwanted debris that may be in the pipes. Unwanted impurities can be dirt or other foreign particles that enter the process fluid. Typically, strainers are installed in horizontal pipes and in situations where high flow capacity is required.

These filters are installed upstream of equipment such as pumps, control valves and traps, keeping potentially corrosive or damaging debris from entering the line. They can be installed alone or in series to increase filtration. They may come with a single chamber (simplex filter) or multiple chambers (multiplex filter).
Factors for Choosing the Right Basketball Strainer
Each application may require a different strainer. Consider the unique function of your pipe before deciding on a filter. Important factors include the pressure and temperature requirements of your line, the type of fluid flow (corrosive, abrasive, etc.), the size of the debris, and the frequency of cleaning and maintenance. You might also consider a duplex-style strainer basket, which houses two strainer baskets that are fed by a diverting valve. This system allows one basket to be cleaned and serviced while the other basket is kept flowing.

What are the advantages of using a basketball strainer from Utomo Indotech?
Installing a basket strainer into the piping system ensures downstream equipment is protected from unwanted and potentially damaging debris. Choose a mesh size slightly smaller than the particles you want to filter, to ensure foreign particles are trapped in the basket. You'll also want to consider other factors, such as temperature and pressure requirements, and the type of liquid or gas that passes through the basket strainer. Be sure to take care of your basket strainer by checking the pressure regularly and scheduling regular cleanings as well. This small investment will have a long term impact on downstream equipment.
