Industrial Strainer
Xstem Valve Industries manufactures Strainer Valve units, including the Y Type Strainer, for industrial pipelines where solid particles must be kept out of pumps, valves and other equipment. Each strainer is built to the size, pressure rating, body material and screen you specify. You can read more about our company and how we work.
As a Strainer Valve manufacturer, Y Type Strainer manufacturer and industrial strainer supplier, we supply to the specification you provide. Our other valves are listed on the products page.
Our industrial strainers catch unwanted particles in the flowing medium before they reach the equipment downstream, and they are built to match your line and operating conditions.
Strainer bodies are available in carbon steel, stainless steel, ductile iron and forged steel, chosen to suit your media and operating conditions.
SS 304 and SS 316 screens are standard options. Monel and duplex stainless steel can be discussed for more demanding media.
The screen gives a good straining area, so the fluid keeps moving through the pipeline while the particles stay behind.
The screen can be taken out through the cover for cleaning, so routine maintenance does not need the whole strainer to be removed from the line.
The Y Type Strainer is a compact choice for pipelines where a simple, space-saving strainer is needed.
Size, pressure, material, end connection and mesh are all decided with you, instead of supplying one fixed design for every job.
We make our industrial strainers ourselves, so when you discuss your requirement you are talking to the people who build them. A strainer only works well when its size, material and screen suit the line it protects, and we confirm these with you before quoting.
Share your size, pressure rating, material, end connection and the particle size you want to catch, and we will recommend the matching configuration. The same applies if you are looking for a Y Type Strainer manufacturer for a specific line.
A strainer is normally installed with other valves. A gate valve on either side lets you isolate the line before opening the cover, and a swing check valve after the pump stops fluid from flowing back. We supply these too, so one enquiry can cover them.
For a quotation, send your details through our contact page and our team will get back to you.
Send the required size, pressure rating, material, end connection, screen or mesh requirement and application details to Xstem Valve Industries. As the manufacturer, we can review it and discuss the right Strainer Valve configuration with you directly.
A short guide from our side to help you decide how a strainer should be selected and fitted in your line.
The fluid passes through a perforated or mesh screen inside the body. Solid particles larger than the openings are held back on the screen, and the clean fluid moves on to the equipment downstream.
The body carries a flow arrow, which must match the direction of the line. Fit the strainer with the screen side facing down, and keep an isolating valve on each side so the line can be shut for cleaning.
A finer mesh catches smaller particles, but it also clogs sooner and needs cleaning more often. Tell us the particle size and the media, and we will help you choose a suitable perforation or mesh.
Strainers are fitted where debris in the fluid could damage equipment or affect the process.
Placed before a pump to stop scale, weld spatter and other debris from entering and damaging it.
Fitted ahead of steam traps and control equipment to keep scale and dirt away from them.
Used in industrial water lines to keep sediment and solids out of connected equipment.
Suitable for oil and petroleum lines, with the body and screen selected to suit the media.
Stainless steel, Monel and duplex options can be considered for chemical and process liquid lines.
Can be specified for gas lines and for slurry lines, depending on the screen and the particle size to be retained.
A suitable strainer keeps unwanted solid particles out of the process flow before the medium reaches downstream equipment.
Perforated screens with 1 mm to 5 mm holes and mesh from 20 to 200 are available, with custom micron ratings on request.

Answers to the questions we are asked most often about our strainers.
We are both. Xstem Valve Industries manufactures strainers and also supplies them to industrial customers, so you deal with the maker directly.
Our range covers Y-Type, T-Type and Bucket strainers. Tell us your line and the amount of debris you expect, and we will suggest the right type.
Stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316, Monel and duplex stainless steel, in perforated or mesh form. Custom micron ratings are available on request.
It depends on the size of the particles you want to hold back. A finer mesh catches smaller particles but clogs faster, so share your media and particle size and we will help you choose.
It depends on how much debris your fluid carries. A rise in pressure drop across the strainer is the usual sign that the screen needs cleaning. The removable screen and the drain connection make this easy.
Please share the size, pressure class, body material, screen type and mesh, end connection, media and temperature, plus your delivery location, through our contact page.
Besides strainers, we manufacture and supply other valves for industrial flow-control requirements.
