Basket & Tube Strainers — High-Flow, High-Capacity Filtration

Basket and tube filters are designed for high-flow liquid pre-filtration, protecting downstream equipment such as pumps, heat exchangers, and fine filters from particle damage. They feature robust construction with large filtration area for industrial liquid processing.

These filters use perforated cores wrapped with precision stainless steel mesh, providing large open area for minimal pressure drop and extended service intervals. Suitable for water treatment, petrochemical, and industrial fluid processing applications.

What is a basket filter and how does it work?

add

A basket filter uses a perforated stainless steel cylindrical core wrapped with precision SS316L stainless steel mesh. Fluid passes through the mesh, which traps particles larger than the mesh opening, while the perforated core provides structural support and maximum open area for high flow rates.

What micron and slot sizes are available for basket filters?

add

Standard mesh slot sizes range from 25 μm to 3 mm. Custom sizes are available for specialized applications. We recommend selecting a size that captures your target particles while minimizing pressure drop.

What is the maximum pressure rating for basket filters?

add

Basket filters handle differential pressures up to 25 bar depending on the element diameter, length, and mesh configuration. The perforated core provides robust mechanical support for demanding industrial applications.

Can basket filters be used as prefilters?

add

Yes. Basket filters are widely used as first-stage prefilters to protect expensive fine filtration elements (such as pleated cartridges or sintered filters) downstream. By removing bulk solids first, they significantly extend the service life of downstream filters.

Are basket filters easy to clean and reuse?

add

Yes. Basket filters are designed for repeated cleaning and reuse. Common cleaning methods include backwash with water or compatible solvents, air blowing, and ultrasonic cleaning for stubborn deposits.

What is the sample lead time for custom basket filters?

add

Initial samples: 48-72 hours after drawing confirmation for standard custom configurations. Non-standard diameters or special slot sizes: typically 5-7 days. No minimum order quantity for prototype samples.
