IWAKO Basket Strainer Industry Protect Flow Systems

What Is a Basket Strainer?

A Basket Strainer is an inline filtration device designed to remove solid debris from liquids. It consists of:

• A metal housing
• An internal basket element made of mesh or perforated sheet
• Inlet and outlet ports for fluid direction

As liquid flows into the strainer, solids are caught within the basket. Clean fluid continues downstream, while contaminants stay trapped until removed during maintenance.

 

Why You Need It

Basket Strainers serve as a first line of defense in any fluid system. Their core functions include:

• Protecting pumps, valves, and nozzles from particulate damage
• Reducing the frequency of maintenance on downstream equipment
• Maintaining consistent flow and pressure levels
• Extending system longevity and reliability

Facilities that operate without proper straining often experience unplanned shutdowns and rising operational costs due to clogging and erosion.

 

How It Works – Simplified

The filtration process is simple but highly effective:

1. Liquid enters the housing via the inlet
2. It flows through the basket element from the inside to the outside
3. Solid particles are retained inside the basket
4. Filtered liquid exits through the outlet

When pressure drop increases (due to debris build-up), it indicates the need for basket cleaning. This can be done manually or—if using advanced models—by activating a built-in cleaning mechanism.

 

Introducing Handle Washing Brush Technology

For operations that require continuous uptime, IWAKO offers Basket Strainers with Handle Washing Brush. This innovative design allows operators to:

• Clean the basket without removing it
• Maintain filtration performance during active flow
• Minimize system downtime and reduce labor time

With a simple rotation of the external handle, an internal brush scrapes off debris from the inner surface of the basket—no shutdown, no disassembly.

 

Common Use Cases

Basket Strainers are widely used in:

• Water treatment systems
• Cooling tower circulation
• Food & beverage manufacturing
• Chemical transfer pipelines
• Paints, adhesives, and high-viscosity fluids

They are compatible with a wide range of fluids and designed to withstand high pressures and temperatures.

 

Choosing the Right Model

When selecting a Basket Strainer, it’s critical to consider:

• Fluid type and viscosity
• Flow rate and pressure drop tolerances
• Basket mesh size for particulate retention
• Material compatibility with the process fluid
• Cleaning method – standard or integrated brush

IWAKO engineers work closely with clients to configure each unit according to real operational requirements.

 

Don’t wait for a system failure to consider filtration. Proactively protect your process flow with a high-performance Basket Strainer from IWAKO.
