New Operator-Friendly Pipeline Strainer Makes Basket Change-Out Hassle Free


The new Model 53BTX double-basket pipeline strainer features a patented design for no-hassle strainer basket cleaning or change-out. A unique, patented diverter cartridge isolates and seals the out-of-service basket chamber leak tight, simplifying strainer basket cleaning and changing for the system operator.

This is the strainer of choice for piping systems that must run continuously or for batch systems that cannot be stopped in the middle of a batch for strainer basket cleaning. A quick, easy turn of the strainer handle operates the diverter cartridge that switches the system flow from one strainer basket chamber to the other, allowing the out of service basket to be cleaned or
changed.

The 53BTX pipeline strainer will give years of trouble-free service, protecting expensive pipeline system components from damage by particulate matter. This is due in large part to the diverter cartridge's dynamic ball sealing system that utilizes polymer seats with elastomer seals for extended life. Should it
become necessary to service the cartridge, its operator-friendly design makes it easy. The operator just removes four bolts and the cartridge slides right out through the top of the strainer. The strainer does not have to be disassembled or even removed from the pipeline.

The Model 53BTX pipeline strainer is available in sizes from 3/4"" to 4" - with threaded or flanged pipe connections in iron, bronze, carbon steel or stainless steel construction. Stainless steel strainer baskets with a low pressure drop design are standard and come in perforation/mesh sizes from 1/2" down to 400 microns. Special alloy baskets are available as an option, as are differential pressure gauges and switches, magnetic separators, drain valves, a basket chamber vent and a pressure equalizing assembly.
