Original Press Release:
Viking Lid-Ease® Strainers Provide Pumping Systems with First Class Protection
Viking Pump's Lid-Ease® strainers are specially designed to protect any pumping system by preventing solids or foreign materials from entering the pump. As a result, pumps and downstream process equipment experience fewer repairs, reduced downtime, and longer life.
Several features of Viking's Lid-Ease strainers ensure reliable performance and maximum pump uptime. For example, high differential pressures are accommodated by a perforated stainless steel basket with maximum hoop strength which supports an inner stainless steel screen. Differential pressure indicators that show when the basket needs to be cleaned are optional. To stop entrained solids and foreign materials, the strainer basket comes in numerous options from 10 to 100 mesh screens, or no screen (basket openings 0.188" dia.). The basket can include optional magnetic inserts for trapping ferrous particles. Also, maintenance is made trouble-free by a breech lock lid that enables simple top removal of the basket for cleaning.
Lid-Ease strainers come in three port options: grooved, tapped, and flanged. In addition, several materials of construction are available for the strainer, including aluminum, cast iron, ductile iron, and stainless steel. All baskets are made of 304 or 316 stainless steel. Capacities range from 20 to 1,500 gpm.
