The Eaton Model 53BTX duplex basket strainer can operate continuously, eliminating the need to shut down processes for cleaning of strainers. When the first basket is full, a unique flow diverter cartridge shifts flow to a second basket to permit removal and cleaning with no interruption to operations. Draining this chamber is easy; the cover lifts and swings clear of the chamber opening with no special tools required. The unique flow diverter cartridge prevents fluid bypass into the out-of-service chamber. It features a dynamic sealing system that ensures exceptionally long seat life and positive sealing. Manual internal or external ball support adjustments are not necessary. The compact, low-profile design fits into spaces ordinary strainers may not, yet it still uses full-size strainer baskets with a low-pressure drop performance. Eaton offers basket openings from 3/4" down to 45 microns. One drain plug is on each side of the housing. Additionally, an easy to access vent valve is in the cover. Standard foot mounting pads ensure a rock solid installation no matter where the strainer operates.
