Unique Strainer Basket
A slant top design improves the flow through the strainer and
results in significantly lower pressure drops. This design also
results in a more compact basket that weighs less than an ordinary
basket. This makes it possible for one person to remove it from the
strainer housing, a labor saving feature when it comes time to
clean or changeout the basket.
Common Modifications
Rotated inlet and outlet nozzles to eliminate an elbow in the
downstream piping
Lowering or raising either the inlet or the outlet nozzle, this
eliminates serious alignment and support problems.
Cover Type Openings
For applications with infrequent basket changing, Eaton offers a
simple, cost-effective, bolted cover type. It’s available with a
davit assembly cover for larger strainers with heavy covers, this
makes it possible for a one-person operation.
For applications with more frequent changing, Eaton offers a
hinged, quick opening cover secured by swing bolts. This is
adaptable for higher pressure applications. For medium size
strainers, 8" to 16," a bolted slide hinge cover is available. This
permits one operator to engage the hinge and open the cover.
Backflush/Backwash Option
In systems with heavy, welldefined solids and sediment, this option
backflushes the system without shutting the system down. A piping
connection with an on/off backflush valve is fabricated at the
strainer bottom and has a connection to the bottom of the strainer
basket. When solids accumulate in the bottom of the basket, the
backflush valve opens and the differential between the operating
pressure and the backflush system removes the solids. The second
step, backwashing, reverses the flow and removes residual dirt.
Optional Steam Jacketing
Available in carbon steel or 316SS rated for service up to 450°F.
This is ideal for the high temperatures required to process and
transport heavy, viscous fluids without affecting the function or
normal maintenance of the strainer. Steam jacketing maintains
critical fluid temperature throughout the strainer.
Design and fabrication to ASME section VIII and ANSI B31.1 codes
are available.
