Viking Lid-Ease Strainers

The Lid-Ease® simplex basket strainers are used for removing solid particles from process fluids in chemical, petrochemical, and general industrial applications. They protect pumps and equipment while maintaining continuous system operation. They handle nominal capacities from 5 to 340 m³/h (20 to 1,500 GPM) with pressures up to 14 bar (200 PSI). The inclined basket design minimizes pressure drop and ensures efficient, uninterrupted flow. Constructed in cast iron or stainless steel, the strainers provide durability and corrosion resistance. The breech-lock lid allows quick access, simplifying maintenance and reducing downtime during cleaning operations. Top-entry basket removal eliminates the need to drain the system and minimizes product loss. Optional magnetic inserts and differential pressure indicators support improved filtration control and maintenance planning.
