Industrial Strainers & Filters
Industrial Strainers
Strainers are designed and manufactured by Hidroflex. A Strainer is a device used to protect downstream equipment such as spray nozzles, plate heat exchangers, meters and pumps. A Strainer retains particles on the surface of its strainer element (ie on the mesh or perforated plate).
A Filter as the name suggests filters, but retains more particles inside the filter element body (ie. filter cloth or filter cartridge). Within the industry parlance filters and strainers have a similarity and its common to use these words other way around.
We manufacture a line of Strainers for different uses:
- Cone Strainer – used as a temporary strainer & can be used for fine straining when lined with mesh
- T Strainer with Flat Diaphragm – Used for coarse straining
- T Strainer with V Shape Diaphragm – Used for coarse straining
- Y Strainer – Used for fine straining
- T Type Inline Basket Strainer – Used for fine straining
- T Type Offset Basket Strainer
- Duplex Strainer – Used for fine straining
- Automatic Self Cleaning Strainer – Used to screen particles down to 100 microns
Industrial Filters
A Filter is also a device used to protect downstream equipment and we have a variety of them based on the media being filtered.
Type of filters used are:
- Cartridge filters – Polypropylene, sintered metal
- Bag filters – Polypropylene, Nylon, PTFE. These are available in single bag and multi bag units, designed for standard double length bags (7” dia x 30” length). Special sizes and designs are available on request.
Codes: ASME Sec. 8, Div.1; ANSI B31.3, B31.8.
Sizes: 1” to 3” standard for single bag units; 2” to 12” standard for multi bag units.
Liquid filters:
- Remove solids out of liquid
- Remove another liquid out (eg.water out of oil)
- Remove liquid and solids out
Gas filters:
- Remove solids out of gas
- Remove liquid out of gas
- Remove liquid and solids out of gas
Solids out of liquid:
Type of filters used:
Cartridge filters – Polypropylene, sintered metal
Bag filters- Polypropylene, Nylon, PTFE.
Liquid out of liquid:
There are always two stages. Stage 1 coalescing stage and Stage 2, filtering stage.
Solids and liquid out of liquid: This is always done in two stages. Stage 1 coalescing and Stage 2 Filtration.
Solids out of gas:
Type of filters used:
Cartridge Filters and Bag Filters.
Liquids out of gas:
Type used:
- Knockout pots
- Demister pad separators
- Vane type separators
- Centrifugal separators
- Coalesces filter separator
Solids and liquid out of gas:
Type used: Filter separator and filter coalesces
