About Filter Baskets
Filter BasketsFilter Basket also named replacement strainer is made of perforated mesh or woven mesh. It can be divided into standard filter basket and slanted Filter Basket. Mesh Filter basket is available in various levels of mesh and micron requirement. In order to maximize the usable surface area of the filter basket, the holes are perforated in a staggered pattern. All the types filter basket has a lift-out handle and a solid, flat bottom. They feature high liquid capacity and high flow rate.Specification:Material: SS 302, 304, 304L, 316, 316L, etc.Types: standard filter basket and slanted filter basket.Filer media: perforation mesh or weave mesh.Mesh: 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 100, 150, 200.Micron line mesh: 40, 90, 160, 250 industry use, 5, 10, 15, 25 light-duty for special use.Perforation holes size: 1/2", 3/8", 1/4", 3/16", 9/64", 3/32", 1/16", 3/64".Diameter and length: customized by requirements.Feature:Attractive appearance.Good filtration effect.High tensile strength.Acid and alkali resistance.Excellent corrosion and hot resistance.Non-toxic and harmlessEasy to clean.Long time service.Application:Food industry.Metallurgy industry.Chemical industry.Petroleum industry.Hydraulic oil.Sewage filtration.Chemical fiber. Robust Construction for Demanding ApplicationsDesigned to withstand industrial environments, our filter baskets feature welded, seamless stainless steel bodies that deliver durability and reliable filtration. Their corrosion-resistant properties ensure optimal performance in water treatment, oil & gas, and chemical processing, operating efficiently under pressures up to 10 bar and temperatures as low as -20C or as high as 200C. From fine to coarse mesh, customizable sizes are available to suit any filtration requirement.
Versatile Connections and Easy MaintenanceWith BSP, NPT, ANSI, and DIN end connections, these filter baskets seamlessly integrate into a variety of piping systems. Cleaning is straightforwardchoose between manual washing or backflush methods, supporting reuse and extending product life. Optional polished or satin surface finishes and a selection of packing types (carton or wooden cases) ensure the product arrives safely and suits operational needs.
Tailored Filtration and High EfficiencyAchieve up to 99% filter efficiency with mesh sizes between 10 and 500 micron. Filter baskets are custom-manufactured in cylindrical or basket shapes and can accommodate diameters from 2 to 24 inches. Designed for capacities up to 1000 m/h, these baskets can be adapted for your precise flow and contaminant retention requirements, offering high dirt-holding capacity and reliability across industrial filtration processes.
FAQs of Filter Baskets:
Q: How do I select the appropriate mesh size for my filter basket application?
A: Mesh size selection depends on the type and size of particles you need to filter from your process medium. Our baskets offer mesh sizes from 10 to 500 micron, allowing effective filtration for medium to fine contaminants in liquids, gases, or air. For detailed recommendations, consult our technical team with your specific requirements.
Q: What advantages do stainless steel filter baskets offer for industrial use?
A: Stainless steel filter baskets provide excellent corrosion resistance, high dirt-holding capacity, and durability, making them ideal for harsh industrial conditions. They are reusable, easy to install, and offer long service life, reducing maintenance and replacement frequency in water treatment, oil & gas, and chemical processing applications.
Q: When should I replace my filter basket to maintain optimal performance?
A: Replacement intervals depend on application, contaminant load, and process conditions. Generally, it is recommended to replace filter baskets every 612 months. However, cleaning and reusing is possible where applicable. Regular inspection will help you determine the optimal replacement cycle.
Q: Where can these filter baskets be installed and what end connections are available?
A: These baskets can be installed in any compatible filtration system across water treatment, chemical, oil & gas, and other industries. With multiple end connection standards (BSP, NPT, ANSI, DIN) and customizable diameters, integration into your existing piping is simplified.
Q: What cleaning processes are suggested for maintaining the filter baskets?
A: Filter baskets can be cleaned manually by rinsing or brushing, or through backflush processes to remove trapped debris. Routine cleaning maintains filtering efficiency and extends service life, particularly in high dirt load environments.
Q: Can I customize the design, material, or size of my filter basket order?
A: Yes, we offer complete customization based on design, diameter (commonly 2"24"), mesh size, and materials to match your specific application needs. Share your filtration requirements and our engineering team will recommend the most suitable configuration.
Q: What benefits do these baskets provide compared to other filtration types?
A: Basket filters deliver high filtration efficiency (up to 99%), are adaptable to high flow (up to 1000 m/h) and pressure (up to 10 bar), and feature robust, reusable construction. These advantages lower operational costs and minimize downtime compared to disposable alternatives.
