Simplex pipeline strainers remove damage causing particulate matter from the process media, protecting system components such as flow meters, pumps, and spray nozzles. The particulate matter is captured in the strainer basket. The line is then temporarily shut down and the basket removed for cleaning or replacement. Steam jacketed strainers are used for applications where materials must be kept hot in order to remain fluid. Applications examples are chocolate, asphalt, resins and polymers. The strainer body temperature is maintained by circulating steam or a heat transfer fluid through the strainer jacket. The strainer body is provided with either a carbon steel or a stainless steel jacket welded to the cast body. The jacket will handle steam pressures up to 100 psi. The basic strainer used in the Model 72SJ is our popular Model 72 Basket Strainer which has, over the years, proven itself a standard of industry. All of the features of the Model 72 have been retained, including large capacity baskets and yoke type, hand removable covers for quick basket cleaning or change out. Unit working pressure is 200 PSI at 100ºF
