Strainer Baskets and Elements
Overview
The basket or element is the heart of a Eaton Strainer. It is designed to be both effective and durable so that it will function reliably for years. After a particular type of strainer housing has been selected, equal concern should be given to the basket or screen design and the perforation or mesh size – for this alone determines the ultimate functionality and performance of the strainer.

The strainer cover presses down on the bow-shaped handle and assures a tight seal. This is the standard, basic strainer basket, available in stainless steel or Monel, with a wide range of perforations and mesh linings to handle any straining problem. |
Heavy duty strainer baskets are reinforced in critical areas to stand up to the most demanding applications. |
Pleated, open type baskets have a very low pressure loss. The convoluted or pleated structure of the screen gives much greater straining area than other designs. Available in plain perforated metal or with a fine mesh lining. |

The slanted, open top design allows fluid to enter easily and cuts down pressure drop loss. By using four of these baskets in each chamber of the strainer, individual basket size is reduced. This means only one person is needed to clean even the largest size baskets. |
Eaton Model 596 and 2596 Automatic, Self-Cleaning Strainers utilize a screen element rather than a basket to trap unwanted particles. These screen elements are designed so that during backwashing the debris is easily dislodged and carried away through the backwash arm and out of the strainer. Several types are available to meet all application requirements. |
Hayward strainer baskets can be supplied with magnetic inserts which are valuable when microscopic iron or steel particles are present. These might pass though a fine mesh lining but the magnetic insert will catch them. Our powerful magnets are encased in stainless steel to prevent corrosion. |
