Their compact Y shape design allows easy installation in both horizontal and vertical pipelines, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
These machinery parts are widely used in industries like chemical processing, water treatment, oil & gas, food processing, and pharmaceuticals. The removable screen design ensures easy cleaning and maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs.
Versatile and Customizable Filtration SolutionThis Y Pattern Strainer caters to diverse industrial needs with a wide selection of end connections-flanged, screwed, or socket weld. Mesh sizes from 40 to 300 micron ensure precise filtration, while custom screens and body dimensions provide flexibility to match your system requirements. The strainer is manufactured to tight tolerances and can be specified in various materials for both body and gasket, offering adaptability for demanding environments.
Robust Build for Industrial ApplicationsSuited for heavy-duty use, the strainer's body is available in cast iron, cast steel, or stainless steel, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance. Epoxy-coated or painted finishes further reinforce the product against harsh conditions, while bonnet bolted fastening permits easy access for maintenance. The design accommodates both horizontal and vertical installation on pipelines ranging from 15 to 600 mm in diameter.
Proven Performance and Easy MaintenanceEach unit undergoes 100% hydrostatic testing at body and leak pressures exceeding standard working requirements, guaranteeing operational safety and reliability. The stainless steel screen is designed for durability and easy cleaning, which combined with bolted-type construction, minimizes downtime during maintenance. Drawing support and dimension customization ensure seamless integration into your system.
