The heart of a strainer is the basket or screen.
Eaton´s baskets or screens are designed to strain all solids effectively and durable. Both are available as standard and heavy-duty construction and come with the unit or as spare basket.
While the standard design meets the need of nearly all possible applications, the heavy-duty version is extremely rugged and recommended where either an extremely high viscosity material is strained, or high solids load are experienced.
Baskets and Screens are constructed in different materials and are available in a wide range of perforations and mesh providing removal of solids from ½ and larger to as low as 40 microns.
