This industry is perhaps the largest user of basket strainers. There are innumerable areas where the presence of a basket strainer means a cleaner product, protection of equipment, or simple separation of solids from liquids. There is scarcely a chemical operation involving liquid flow which cannot be improved or guaranteed longer running life by installation of a basket strainer in the line. is perhaps the largest user of basket strainers.

Just as the paper industry needs lump free coating the Ceramic Industry does also. The presence of unwanted solid particles in glazes, for example, can mean rejection of a product. Basket strainers are installed just ahead of glaze spray equipment to prevent this. |

Strainers are used in the Power Industry to clean water and to protect equipment as descried above. They also screen transformer oil to avoid clogging of the circulating lines. |
|
Basket strainers are used to remove traces of grape skins and seeds from wine and to remove bits of pulp, skins, or other unwanted matter from fruit juices. They are used to take out lumps from chocolate syrup and wax from honey. The Baking Industry strains bone and gristle from molten lard with basket strainers and also uses them to remove bits of dough, seed, etc., from water they discharge into sewer systems to conform to environmental regulations. |

Basket strainers are used in the Marine Industry for many purposes. One of the most important is handling sea water in cooling lines, fire control lines, sanitary lines, and general cleaning lines. This water comes from outside the ship and can contain a good deal of undesirable matter. Strainers are used on board ships to clean fuel, hydraulic and lubricating systems. |

The presence of “fish eyes” (lumps of un-disolved resin), skins, and clumps of pigment is a perpetual problem. They are hard to detect and can spoil a batch run. Basket strainers are used to remove all of them. |
|
Basket strainers clean unwanted material from petroleum products ranging from crude oil to gasoline. A specific case is fuel oil, which can contain gums or tars or other dirt which can plug the nozzles of an oil burner. Every industrial oil burner is equipped with a basket strainer to screen these out. Strainers are used in similar ways in refineries and in oil handling operation to keep undesirable material away from pumps, meters and other equipment. |

Ointments, lotions and similar products which may contain clumps of undispersed or undissolved matter are pumped through basket strainers. In the manufacture of lipstick, for instance, unwanted lumps can ruin the product. |
