Duplex Stainless Steel Basket Strainer Filter: Flanged/Threaded Connection for Continuous Industrial Filtration

I. Product Overview

TIANYU duplex stainless steel basket strainer filter is a high-performance industrial filtration solution engineered for continuous operation in demanding fluid processing systems. Comprising two parallel basket strainers connected via 3-way valves, it enables seamless switching between filter chambers—allowing one to operate while the other is cleaned or maintained. Crafted from 304/316 stainless steel, this filter balances corrosion resistance, high-pressure tolerance, and efficient particle removal, making it ideal for industries requiring uninterrupted filtration, such as petrochemicals, food & beverage, water treatment, and metallurgy. With a filtration range of 0.04μm to 1000μm and pressure handling up to 40bar, it effectively removes solids, debris, and contaminants from liquids and gases, protecting downstream equipment like pumps, valves, and meters from wear or clogging. Its flanged or threaded connections ensure easy integration into existing pipelines, while the quick-open cover design simplifies maintenance, solidifying its role as a reliable core component in continuous-process systems.

Product Overview

III. Feature Description

A. Duplex Design for Continuous Filtration

The core advantage of this strainer lies in its duplex configuration: two independent basket filters connected by 3-way valves. When one filter is in operation, the other can be isolated for cleaning, emptying, or basket replacement—eliminating the need to shut down the entire system. This is critical for continuous-process industries: in a petrochemical plant, for example, it ensures uninterrupted flow of crude oil while removing sediment; in a food beverage facility, it maintains production during screen cleaning, avoiding costly downtime. The 3-way valves feature precise flow diversion, with minimal pressure drop during switching, ensuring stable system pressure.

B. Stainless Steel Corrosion Resistance

Constructed from 304 or 316 stainless steel, the filter excels in corrosive environments. 304 stainless steel, with 18% chromium and 8% nickel, forms a passive oxide layer resisting rust and mild chemicals—ideal for water treatment, dairy processing, or general industrial fluids. For harsher conditions (e.g., seawater, chlorinated water, or acidic solutions), 316 stainless steel (with molybdenum) provides superior pitting and crevice corrosion resistance, extending service life in offshore platforms or chemical processing lines. Both grades offer high tensile strength (≥515MPa), ensuring structural integrity under 40bar pressure.

C. High-Efficiency Basket Filtration

Each filter chamber houses a stainless steel basket with a precision-woven mesh screen. The basket’s cylindrical design maximizes filtration area, allowing high flow rates with minimal pressure drop. Fine mesh (0.04μm) captures submicron particles in pharmaceutical or electronics manufacturing, while coarser mesh (1000μm) removes large debris (e.g., pipe scale, sediment) in water mains. The basket is supported by a perforated base, preventing mesh deformation under high flow velocities—a key feature in turbulent systems like pump discharge lines.

D. Quick-Open Cover for Easy Maintenance

The filter’s cover features a quick-open design (bolt-on with handwheels or clamp-type) that allows rapid access to the basket. Unlike welded or flange-mounted covers, it can be opened in minutes, reducing maintenance time by 60% compared to traditional strainers. A vent valve releases trapped air during chamber re-pressurization, preventing water hammer; a drain valve simplifies debris removal during cleaning. This design is particularly valuable in industries with frequent filter checks, such as food processing (to maintain hygiene) or mining (to clear abrasive slurries).

E. Versatile Compatibility with Fluids

The filter handles a wide range of media: liquids (water, oils, chemicals), gases (compressed air, natural gas), and slurries (low-solids). Its stainless steel construction and compatible gaskets (EPDM for water, Viton for oils/chemicals) resist degradation from most industrial fluids, avoiding media contamination. In hydraulic systems, it protects pumps and valves from particulate wear; in beverage production, it ensures product purity by removing sediment and foreign particles.

IV. Manufacturing Processes

A. Material Preparation & Quality Validation

  • Stainless Steel Sourcing: 304/316 stainless steel plates or billets are sourced from certified mills, with chemical composition verified via spectral analysis (e.g., 316: 16-18% Cr, 10-14% Ni, 2-3% Mo) to ensure corrosion resistance.
  • Defect Detection: Raw materials undergo ultrasonic testing to identify internal flaws (porosity, cracks) that could compromise pressure integrity in high-pressure applications.

B. Body & Chamber Fabrication

  • Forming: Filter bodies and chambers are fabricated via forging (for high-pressure models) or precision welding (for large diameters). Forging enhances material density, critical for withstanding 40bar pressure; welded bodies are post-weld heat-treated to relieve internal stresses.
  • Machining: Chamber interiors, valve ports, and connection surfaces are CNC-machined to tight tolerances (±0.05mm). Flange faces are ground to Ra ≤3.2μm for leak-tight sealing; threaded connections (NPT/BSPT) are precision-cut to ensure compatible assembly with pipes.

C. Filter Basket & Screen Production

  • Basket Construction: Stainless steel sheets are laser-cut and formed into cylindrical baskets, with perforated bases (1-3mm holes) for structural support. Seams are TIG-welded to prevent fluid bypass.
  • Mesh Attachment: Woven/sintered stainless steel mesh is secured to the basket frame via crimping or welding. Mesh aperture is verified using a micrometer to ensure filtration precision (e.g., 50μm mesh checked for uniform opening size).

D. Valve & Assembly Integration

  • 3-Way Valve Fabrication: Valves are machined from solid stainless steel, with precision-ground balls or plugs to ensure leak-free flow diversion. Seats are lapped to Ra ≤0.8μm for tight sealing.
  • Final Assembly: Chambers are connected to 3-way valves via flanged or threaded joints. Quick-open covers are fitted with gaskets (EPDM/Viton) and hinge hardware. Vent/drain valves are installed to facilitate maintenance.

E. Testing & Certification

  • Hydrostatic Test: Each filter is pressurized to 1.5×rated pressure (60bar for 40bar models) for 30 minutes, with no visible leakage or deformation.
  • Filtration Efficiency Test: Challenged with standardized particles (e.g., glass beads) to verify ≥99% removal at rated micron size.
  • Operation Test: 3-way valves are cycled 100+ times to ensure smooth switching; quick-open covers are tested for easy access and secure closure.

V. Product Advantages

A. Uninterrupted Production with Continuous Filtration

The duplex design eliminates shutdowns for cleaning—critical for industries like petrochemicals, where production halts cost thousands per hour. By switching to the standby chamber, operators can service the active filter without disrupting flow, maintaining process efficiency.

B. Superior Corrosion Resistance for Longevity

304/316 stainless steel construction resists rust, pitting, and chemical attack, outperforming carbon steel filters in humid or aggressive environments. In coastal water treatment plants, 316 models show 70% less corrosion than carbon steel alternatives over a 5-year period, reducing replacement costs.

C. High Filtration Efficiency Protects Downstream Equipment

By removing 99% of particles ≥ rated size, the filter prevents wear on pumps, valves, and meters. In a hydraulic system case study, installing TIANYU duplex strainers reduced pump maintenance by 40% by eliminating abrasive particle damage to impellers.

D. Low Maintenance & Operational Costs

Quick-open covers and accessible baskets cut maintenance time by 60% compared to traditional strainers. Reusable stainless steel baskets eliminate the need for disposable filter cartridges, lowering long-term consumable costs—especially in high-flow systems.

E. Versatile Adaptation to Industrial Needs

With customizable mesh sizes (0.04μm~1000μm), connections (flanged/threaded), and materials (304/316), the filter adapts to diverse applications: from fine chemical filtration to heavy-duty debris removal in mining slurries.
