When it comes to reliable pipeline filtration, Weamco’s Cast Simplex Basket Strainers set the standard for performance and durability. Designed to remove debris and protect your downstream equipment, these strainers are trusted across a wide range of industries—from oil and gas to pulp and paper, and everything in between. Built to withstand demanding environments, our simplex strainers help operators maintain smooth, efficient flow while extending the life of pumps, meters, valves, and other critical components.
Simplex basket strainers are ideal for applications where you can temporarily shut down the system for maintenance. Their straightforward design allows for easy removal and cleaning of the basket, ensuring minimal downtime and consistent performance. Because they provide a cost-effective, dependable filtration solution, Simplex Basket Strainers are widely used in process and power, chemical, oil and gas, pulp and paper, metals and mining, and water and wastewater industries. Their simplicity also makes them easier to inspect, service, and customize compared to more complex filtration systems.
With filtration levels as fine as 40 microns, our simplex basket strainers capture even the smallest particles, helping to maintain system integrity and reduce equipment wear. Each unit is built for efficiency with generously sized strainer baskets, providing higher debris capacity and fewer cleanings. This greater capacity supports stable pressure levels and reduces the risk of unplanned shutdowns. Whether your system handles clean fluids or more challenging process media, Weamco’s strainers deliver long-lasting, reliable filtration performance.
Weamco’s simplex basket strainers are available in a variety of high-quality materials to meet the specific demands of your system and environment. Cast iron is ideal for low-pressure systems and general applications. Bronze offers corrosion resistance for marine and chemical environments. Carbon steel provides high strength for demanding applications. Stainless steel delivers superior resistance to corrosion and high temperatures. Each material option is selected to offer long service life and compatibility with a broad range of process fluids.
We understand that every system is different, which is why we offer a range of end connection options to ensure seamless integration. Flat faced (FF) connections are ideal for low-pressure applications. Raised face (RF) connections enhance sealing under pressure. Butt weld (BW) connections provide high-strength, permanent joints. Threaded (NPT) connections allow for easy installation and maintenance. Socket weld (SW) connections offer secure, leak-proof joints. With so many configuration possibilities, it’s easy to match your strainer to your existing pipeline requirements.
