Duplex strainers remove damage causing particulate matter from the process media, and never have to be shut down for cleaning…the line can run continuously. When one strainer basket becomes full, flow is switched to the other by simply turning the operating handle of the strainer. The first basket is removed, cleaned and is ready for use again. These larger size duplex strainers are available in 5", 6" and 8" sizes. For smaller duplex strainers, up to 4" in size Eaton offers the Model 53BTX Duplex Strainer.
