Basket Strainers

Basket Strainers feature top removal of the screen. The screen is in the form of a basket, with a lifting handle,
so that all particulate captured and retained by the screen can be easily removed for disposal. They are
intended for applications where larger amounts of solid particulate are expected, and where clean-out will be
frequent. Most models have a standard or optional “Quick Release Cover” to allow fast and easy screen
removal without the use of tools. For easily flushable solids, a modified cone-bottom basket can be fitted, with
automatic or manual blow-down through the drain port. This will allow clean-out without removal of the screen,
and without interrupting the process flow.

Quick Release Cover, 125# ANSI Flanges
Features
Sure Flow 125# ANSI Flanged basket strainers in Cast Iron are
available with bolted or quick release clamped cover. Clamp
cover units (Model BFC) are ideally suited for applications
where frequent clean-out of the basket is expected. Having a
spare, clean basket on hand will greatly reduce the cleaning
time, and differential pressure gauges, with alarms, can be
supplied to get the maximum on-stream time between cleaning
cycles.
