Introduction to Pitambara Engineering Basket Type Strainer
Pitambara Engineering offers a range of high-quality filtration solutions, including the Basket Type Strainer, which is designed to provide efficient filtration and protect equipment from debris, dirt, and other contaminants. The Basket Type Strainer is a critical component in fluid systems across various industries, ensuring smooth operation and prolonging the life of downstream equipment such as pumps, valves, and pipelines.
The Basket Type Strainer is widely used in systems where continuous filtration is essential to maintain flow integrity and prevent damage caused by foreign particles. Pitambara Engineering Basket Type Strainer is engineered to deliver reliable performance, durability, and ease of maintenance, making it ideal for a variety of industrial applications.
What is a Basket Type Strainer?
A Basket Type Strainer is a type of filter used to remove solids and contaminants from liquids or gases in a pipeline. It consists of a perforated or mesh “basket” that collects debris, preventing it from entering the system and causing damage to downstream components. These strainers are installed in the pipeline at the point where filtration is required, and the liquid or gas flows through the strainer, while larger particles are trapped in the basket. The clean, filtered fluid continues through the system.
The Basket Type Strainer is designed for easy maintenance, with a basket that can be removed, cleaned, and reinstalled, ensuring that the filtration system operates efficiently without requiring frequent replacement.

How Pitambara Instruments Basket Type Strainer Works
The Basket Type Strainer is installed in the pipeline, typically before critical equipment like pumps or valves, to ensure that only clean, debris-free fluid enters the system. When fluid passes through the strainer, larger particles and debris are trapped inside the perforated or mesh basket, while the filtered fluid continues to flow downstream.
The basket is designed to handle a high volume of contaminants and can be easily removed for cleaning or replacement. Depending on the design, the strainer may also include a blow-off valve for cleaning the strainer without removing the basket, helping to maintain system efficiency without extended downtime.

- During installation, tank shuld be completely empty.
- There should be no objects which shall hinder the float.
- Ensure that the float position inside the tank should be such that agitation on it will be minimum.
- The position of mounting nozzle should be far away from the liquid fill pipe to protect the float from damage and faulty readings due to turbulence.
- Ensure that tank structures / fittings do not come in the way of calibrated gauges boards
- Instruments required- Welding machine, combination/crimping plier, spanner and adjustable.
- Even with large changes in liquid density, the immersion of a large diameter float will change very little, thus density has little effect on accuracy.
- Float systems are simple and easily understood.
- Even if the primary requirement is the transmitted signal, local indicators can continue to operate, even on loss of power.
