These housing are engineered to effectively remove dirt, pipe scale and other contaminants from process liquids such as water, chemical and petroleum products. They can be used as a strainer as example on the suction of a pump or other process equipment.  The strainer basket is available in many different opening sizes and often used to support a micron rated bag filter.  Housings are designed to hold six different size baskets that would be selected to meet your flow rates and filtration needs.  Quality construction and design assure protection for all down-stream equipment.

Unfiltered liquid enters the housing above the filter bag or strainer basket; flows down into the housing; continues through the element; and exit the housing as clean liquid.   Solids are trapped inside the filter bag or strainer and easily removed when the housing is serviced by opening the top lid. The housing design provides a large sump area at the bottom of the basket for particulate accumulation.  Most housing provide a drain connection and vent and gauge ports.

VESSEL CONSTRUCTION:

Vessels are designed for operating from 100 to 500 PSI at 300^o F. The housing design provides a large sump area at the bottom of the basket for dirt and scale accumulation. This design uses the filter more efficiently and prolongs the element life. The basket(s) seal onto an o-ring to eliminate particulate bypass between the basket and seat. A vent and a gauge port in the housing lid and a drain port in the housing speed evacuation and filling. Permanently piped housings are opened with simple tools without disturbing the piping. Swing bolts with eye-nuts allow easy opening and closing of swing lid.  No need to remove any hardware.  Optional clamp band closure designs provide economical alternatives. 

As a standard finish, all vessels are blast cleaned and painted inside and out with a 2part epoxy. Stainless steel vessels are supplied with their natural satin finish.
