Duplex Baskets Gaskets
Duplex Basket Filter
Our Duplex Basket Filters are designed to provide uninterrupted filtration of process fluids by allowing continuous operation during cleaning or maintenance. Commonly referred to as Duplex Basket Strainers, these units are ideal for critical applications where system shutdowns are not permissible and process continuity is essential.
Duplex basket filters consist of two identical basket chambers connected through a changeover mechanism, enabling flow to be diverted from one basket to the other without interrupting operation. This design ensures consistent protection of downstream equipment while allowing one basket to be isolated, cleaned, or replaced during service.
Design and Construction
The Duplex Basket Filter features a twin-chamber body construction with an integrated manual or automated changeover arrangement. Each chamber houses a removable basket element designed to trap solid contaminants while maintaining efficient flow characteristics. The changeover mechanism allows smooth and leak-tight flow diversion, ensuring minimal pressure disturbance during switching.
The baskets are accessible through bolted covers, enabling safe and convenient maintenance. Heavy-duty construction, precision-machined internal components, and robust sealing arrangements ensure reliable performance under continuous operating conditions. Duplex basket strainers are particularly suited for high-flow, high-value process systems where equipment protection and uptime are critical.
Fabricated variants of these strainers can also be supplied with PTFE, Rubber, or Glass Flakes Epoxy (GFE) lining for enhanced corrosion resistance in aggressive process fluids.
