Pot Type Strainer
Description
POT TYPE STRAINER
Fabricated Heavy Duty Pot Strainer | Industrial Pipeline Strainer | Flanged End | DN 50 β DN 600
MNC Industrial Valves is a leading Pot Type Strainer Manufacturer in India, supplying heavy duty fabricated pot strainers for large diameter industrial pipelines used in refineries, petrochemical plants, power plants, and process industries.
Pot Type Strainers are designed to remove solid particles, debris, welding slag, and process contaminants from pipeline fluids, protecting pumps, compressors, control valves, meters, and other downstream equipment.
The pot-shaped fabricated body provides large filtration area and high dirt holding capacity, making this design ideal for high flow industrial pipelines. Fabricated construction also allows custom sizes, thicker body construction, and high structural strength for large pipeline applications.

FILTRATION ELEMENT & OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The filtration element consists of perforated stainless steel basket with internal wire mesh lining. Typical mesh sizes: 40 mesh, 60 mesh, 80 mesh, 100 mesh. Mesh size depends on required filtration accuracy.
Operating Principle: Fluid enters the pot strainer body and flows through the perforated basket filtration element. Solid contaminants are trapped inside the basket while clean fluid exits through the outlet pipeline. Accumulated debris is removed by opening the top cover and cleaning the basket element.
