HDPE Basket Strainer
The HDPE Basket Strainer is a robust, corrosion-resistant filtration device designed to capture and remove large debris and particulates from industrial fluid systems. Made from High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), this basket-type strainer is suitable for aggressive and abrasive fluids, offering excellent chemical resistance and long service life. Its large-capacity basket design allows for effective filtration in high-flow systems while minimizing pressure drop. The strainer protects downstream equipment—such as pumps, valves, and instrumentation—by preventing clogging and mechanical damage, making it an essential component in process pipelines across a range of industries.
Key Features of HDPE Basket Strainer
High Chemical and Corrosion Resistance: Ideal for acids, alkalis, and chemically aggressive fluids.
Durable HDPE Construction: Withstands impact, pressure, and exposure
to harsh environments.
Large Filtration Area: Provides higher dirt-holding capacity and reduced maintenance intervals.
Removable Basket Element: Easy to clean, inspect, and replace, ensuring minimal downtime.
Lightweight and Non-Metallic: Simple to install and handle compared to metallic strainers.
UV and Weather Resistant: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.
Leak-Free Sealing: Precision-machined sealing surfaces ensure secure operation under pressure.
