Basket Strainer

Product Overview

CMI Basket Strainers are designed for reliable removal of large particles and debris from liquid pipelines, serving as protective filtration devices for downstream equipment.

Installed upstream of pumps, valves, heat exchangers, flow meters, and fine filtration systems, basket strainers act as guard filters to prevent clogging, reduce maintenance, and extend equipment service life.

CMI manufactures a wide range of basket strainer designs, including single basket strainers, T-type strainers, multi-basket configurations, and both vertical and horizontal models.

All strainers can be customized according to process requirements, including basket mesh size, materials, connection standards, and opening mechanisms. Design and fabrication can be carried out in accordance with ASME Section VIII, Division 1.
