Basket filter is a filter element made of perforated metal and woven mesh to filter out foreign particles in a horizontal pipeline. It is generally installed the upstream of key equipment such as pumps, control valves, and traps, keeping potential corrosive or damaging debris from making its way down the line. It is widely used in food, beverage, pharmaceuticals and other high quality processing applications.
Basket filters can be made of stainless steel, carbon steel or other alloys. Stainless steel basket filter has excellent corrosion resistance while the rigidity and strength of carbon steel basket filter depend on its carbon content. We can offer customized solutions according to your applications and filtration requirements.
Basket filters are divided into standard basket filters and slanted basket filters. All basket filters are available in various mesh openings and micron ratings. In addition, the holes are perforated in a staggered pattern to maximize the usable surface area of the basket filter. All kinds of basket filter are equipped with a lift-out handle and a solid, flat bottom, featuring high liquid capacity and high flow rate.
