Industrial Basket Filter

Product Overview

CMI Industrial Basket Filter Housings are heavy-duty filtration vessels designed for process liquids containing large particles, fibers, or high solid content.

Unlike bag filter housings, basket filters utilize a rigid stainless-steel basket as the filtration element, providing higher mechanical strength, larger dirt-holding capacity, and reusability.

These housings are widely used in chemical processing, coatings, seawater filtration, wastewater pretreatment, petrochemical plants, and general industrial filtration systems where frequent cleaning and high solids loading are required.

Key Features

• High dirt-holding capacity
  Large filtration volume suitable for high solid-loading applications.
• Reusable stainless-steel basket
  Eliminates the need for disposable filter bags and reduces operating cost.
• Heavy-duty construction
  Manufactured in SS304 or SS316L for long-term industrial use.
• Multiple lid configurations
  Quick-opening, bolted, or hinged swing cover options available.
• Wide filtration range
  Basket mesh from 50 μm to 5 mm for coarse to medium filtration.
• Easy maintenance
  Basket can be quickly removed for cleaning and reinstallation.
• Suitable for high-flow and high-viscosity fluids
• Optional magnetic filtration
  Magnetic baskets available for removal of ferrous particles.
• Flexible pressure design
  Available for 6–25 bar applications.

Basket Types

• Perforated Basket
  Hole size: 1–10 mm
  Suitable for coarse particles, fibers, and debris removal.
• Mesh-Lined Basket
  Filtration range: 50–500 μm
  Used for finer filtration in coatings, chemicals, and water treatment.
• Magnetic Basket (Optional)
  Captures metal shavings and ferrous particles
  Ideal for lubricants, coolants, and petrochemical applications.

Why Choose Basket Filter Instead of Bag Filter?

Basket filters are the preferred solution for applications with high solid content, large particles, or where reusable filtration elements are required.
