Straight Flow Basket Strainer

The straight flow basket strainer is widely used in the filtration of various liquid materials. It has a large filtration area and high filtration efficiency, which can effectively remove solid impurities from the fluid. The filter is designed to be compact, with a small footprint, making it easy to install and use.

 

The straight flow basket strainer is composed of the following components:

- Cylinder. Cylinder is the main part of the filter, usually made of carbon steel or stainless steel, with a certain strength and corrosion resistance.

- Filter basket. The filter basket is the core component, which is equipped with a filter screen to intercept solid particles.

- End caps. The end caps are located at both ends of the cylinder body to support the filter basket and ensure sealing.

Flanges. Flanges are used to connect with other pipes.

- Cleaning the sewage outlet. The sewage outlet is designed to facilitate cleaning and removal of impurities.

 

Working principle

The main working principle of the straight flow basket strainer is to use a removable basket as a filter element to trap solid particles and impurities in the fluid, so as to achieve the purpose of purifying the fluid. Specifically, the working process of the straight flow basket strainer is as follows:

- Fluids (such as water, oil, or other liquids) enter the filter barrel from the inlet pipe.

- After entering the cylinder, the fluid is forced through the basket (filter).

- During the passage through the basket, solid particles and impurities in the fluid are intercepted by the basket, while the clean fluid continues to flow forward through the basket.

- The clean fluid eventually flows out of the filter through the outlet pipe for subsequent use or into the next production step.

- When the impurities in the basket accumulate to a certain extent, it is necessary to clean or replace the basket to maintain the filtration effect.

Application

The straight flow basket strainer is widely used in many fields due to its high efficiency and simple filtration characteristics.

1. Water treatment

In municipal water supply, industrial water treatment, wastewater treatment, and other fields, the straight flow basket strainer is used to remove suspended solids, sediments, and other impurities from water to ensure water quality safety.

2. Petrochemical

In the process of petroleum refining and chemical production, the straight flow basket strainer is used to filter oil and chemicals containing impurities to ensure the normal operation of production equipment and product purity.

3. Food and beverage

In the production of food and beverages, the straight flow basket strainer is used to remove solid particles from products such as fruit juices, alcohol, syrups, and milk to ensure the quality and taste of the products.

4. Pharmaceutical industry

In the production of medicines, the straight flow basket strainer is used to filter impurities in pharmaceutical liquids to improve the purity and safety of medicines.

5. Refrigeration

In refrigeration systems, the straight flow basket strainer is used to remove tiny particles from the coolant, preventing them from causing wear on the compressor and other components.

6. Automotive manufacturing

In the automotive manufacturing process, the straight flow basket strainer is used to clean the surface treatment fluid before painting to ensure the quality of the coating.

7. Metal processing

During metal cutting, grinding, and other processing processes, the straight flow basket strainer is used to filter metal chips and other contaminants from coolant.

 

How to select the right device

When selecting the right basket filter, consider the following factors:

1. Application field

According to the specific use scenario and material characteristics, select the filter type that meets the process requirements and safety standards.

2. Material

Considering chemical compatibility and durability, the material of the filter should be compatible with the filtered material.

3. Pore size

Choose a basket filter with the appropriate pore size according to the size of the impurity particles that need to be intercepted. In general, filters with smaller pore sizes can filter finer particles, but may result in greater pressure differential and higher maintenance frequency.

4. Flow and pressure

Verify the flow and pressure ratings of the system to ensure that the selected filter meets the process requirements and can operate stably in the system.

5. Cleaning method

Consider the ease of cleaning and maintenance of the filter.

6. Safety certification

If it is used in a specific industry, such as food, pharmaceuticals, etc., filters that comply with relevant regulations and certification standards should be selected.

7. Economy

Consider cost-effectiveness, including initial purchase costs, installation costs, operating costs, and maintenance costs.

 

FAQ

1. Q: What is the function of a filter?

A: The main function of a filter is to remove solid particles, impurities, and harmful substances from liquids or gases, in order to achieve purification, clarification, and protection of equipment.

2. Q: How to choose a suitable filter?

A: When choosing a filter, factors such as the properties of the material being filtered (e.g., viscosity, temperature, corrosion), required filtration accuracy, processing capacity, operating pressure and medium, as well as the type, material, size, and installation method of the filter should be considered.

3. Q: What is the working principle of a filter?

A: The working principle of a filter mainly relies on physical screening, deep interception, absorption, or chemical reactions to remove impurities or harmful components from the material being filtered.

4. Q: How to maintain and care for a filter?

A: Maintenance of filters includes regular cleaning or replacement of filter elements, inspection of seals and fasteners, maintaining stable operating pressure, and avoiding overloading. Specific methods should be referenced from the filter's instruction manual and maintenance guides.

5. Q: What is the service life of a filter?

A: The service life of a filter depends on its working environment, processing volume, and filtration accuracy. Generally, when the filter's pressure drop reaches a certain value or the filtration effect decreases significantly, it needs to be replaced or cleaned.

6. Q: What should be paid attention to during filter installation?

A: During filter installation, attention should be paid to the directionality, ensuring that the fluid enters and exits from the correct ports. Also, the piping system should be cleaned before installation, and the filter should be securely fastened and sealed as required by the instructions.

7. Q: What is the replacement cycle for filters?

A: The replacement cycle for filters depends on their working conditions and filtration requirements, and is usually indicated by pressure difference indicators or timers. When the filter's pressure drop reaches the set value or the filtration effect decreases, it should be replaced in a timely manner.
