Model 510 Multi-Basket Strainer

The use of four baskets, rather than one or two, helps to keep operating costs low because the over all size of each basket can be smaller. This means that basket cleaning is a one person job, there is no need for two or more operators, or lifting tackle, to remove the baskets. To make this job even easier and quicker the Model 510 can be ordered with a special cover lifting davit with which the operator can raise the strainer cover and swing it out of the way for access to the strainer baskets. The four basket design provides an additional benefit as well...the centerline to bottom and centerline to top dimensions of the strainer are very short, creating a low-profile design that is ideally suited for installation in cramped quarters. For large size piping systems with high flow rates the Model 510 offers significant advantages over ordinary large size strainers, advantages that will improve performance and reduce operating costs over the life of the strainer. To reduce the pressure loss to an absolute minimum the Model 510 has a straight through flow configuration. This is made possible by a unique basket design that incorporates a slanted top to permit straight through flow.
