Switchable duplex strainer

Switchable duplex strainer for continuous operation – optionally with magnetic inserts.

Data sheet

Product information

The duplex filter type DF is the ideal solution for industrial applications requiring uninterrupted filtration. Thanks to the changeover unit with butterfly valves or ball valves, the filter elements can be replaced during operation. The robust construction in steel or stainless steel and the wide choice of options make the DF a versatile all-rounder for liquids, gases and viscous media.

Special features

  • Changeover filter unit for continuous operation
  • Two filter chambers with stainless steel screen elements
  • Druckstufen: PN6–PN40
  • Nominal sizes: DN50–DN300
  • Body material: steel P250GH or stainless steel 1.4571
  • Strainer basket in stainless steel 1.4301, fine screen in 1.4401
  • Standard mesh size: 1 mm (optionally 0.05 mm to 10 mm)
  • Vent and drain connections
  • Designed to the Pressure Equipment Directive PED 2014/68/EU
  • Optional: magnetic inserts for metallic particles, heating jacket,
  • differential pressure indicator, quick-release closure, automation with a pneumatic actuator

Advantages

  • Changeover unit with four butterfly valves – clean one chamber while the other stays in operation
  • Body in steel P250GH or stainless steel 1.4571, pickled and passivated
  • Fine screen 1.4401 with a mesh size of 1 mm as standard
  • Vent socket in the cover, drain socket in the body base

Versions

  • DN50–DN300
  • PN6, PN10, PN16, PN25, PN40
  • Changeover unit with butterfly valves or ball valves
  • Automated version with a pneumatic part-turn actuator

Areas of application

  • Filtration of liquid, viscous and gaseous media
  • Plants that have to be cleaned without interrupting production
  • Nominal sizes DN 50 to DN 300 in PN 6 to PN 16
  • Media with metallic particles, optionally with magnetic rods

Selection and installation

The mesh size decides the protective effect and the service interval – 1 mm is standard, 0.05 to 10 mm are possible. For the changeover, a pneumatic part-turn actuator is available in addition to the manual version.

Magnetic inserts for strainers, filters and strainers

Armaturenfabrik Basket strainer Duplex strainer Simplex strainer Magnetic rod Magnetic insert Option Magnetic filter Stainless steel

Our magnetic inserts are the perfect addition to strainer inserts in strainers, basket strainers, simplex strainers and duplex strainers. They ensure the reliable separation of ferromagnetic particles such as iron, steel chips or magnetite, which occur in many process media. This increases operational reliability and extends the service life of your systems.

Our features:

  • Integrated magnetic rods made of high-performance neodymium for maximum holding force
  • Combined filtration: mechanical sieving + magnetic separation
  • Customization: For all common screen geometries and filter types
  • Material: Stainless steel for magnetic holders, corrosion-resistant and hygienic
  • Easy cleaning: Magnetic bars are easy to remove and easy to maintain
