Where to Buy
Description
Principle of Operation
Airpel OV single and multi basket filters are designed for the removal of solids from liquid flows. Any solids larger than the selected filtration media are retained within the filter basket (in to out filtration) and can then be disposed of safely and in a controlled manner. The OV series is used in liquid handling installations where the flow can be interrupted for short periods to allow the removal of the basket for cleaning.
Construction
All Airpel basket filters are of cast construction and house high quality stainless steel cylindrical baskets. The design allows quick and easy access to the baskets so they can be cleaned and re-used, helping reduce operating costs and controlling debris levels.
Specially designed to be compact and easily maintained, the multi basket range is of cast construction and is supplied with four or five high quality stainless steel cylindrical baskets offering easier basket removal compared to other units with similar pipe size connections.

Applications
Protect Pipeline Equipment Against Damage
Machinery such as pumps and valves can be broken by grit, metal fragments, etc., while nozzles and heat exchangers have narrow construction that could easily become blocked. This equipment is expensive to repair / replace and the cost of downtime could be crippling, so the installation of a strainer ensures that the primary equipment is protected from any unplanned outage.
Typical Applications would include:
- Nozzle protection
- Heat exchanger protection
- Valve protection
- Pump protection
Remove particles from fluid product
Even if pipeline equipment is not at risk particles in discharge may breach environmental legislation or product acceptance criteria, so the use of a strainer / filter can prove to be a cost effecting and efficient way to maintain the process fluids quality whilst maintaining working standards.
Common industries where product quality is essential:
- Water treatment
- Food and beverage
- Pharmaceutical
- Paints, inks and varnishes, etc.
