Viking Lid-Ease Pump Strainers: Maximize Pump Efficiency and Reliability

Maximizing Pump Efficiency with Viking Lid-Ease Strainers

Prevent Costly Downtime with Effective Filtration

In industrial operations, a single foreign object in the fluid can take a positive displacement pump offline, leading to significant downtime and costly repairs. Protecting your pumping system is not just an option; it’s a necessity. Viking Lid-Ease Pump Strainers offer a simple yet effective solution to safeguard your system, ensuring uninterrupted performance.

Features That Make a Difference

Viking Lid-Ease Pump Strainers are designed with innovation and efficiency in mind. Here are some standout features that set them apart:

• Quarter-Turn Breech-Lock Lid
  A quick, quarter-turn lid simplifies routine cleaning, saving valuable time and reducing operational hassle.
• Inclined Basket Design
  The unique basket design minimizes pressure drop, maintaining high system efficiency without compromising flow.
• Top Basket Removal
  This eliminates the need for draining the strainer, reducing product loss and enhancing maintenance convenience.
• Optional Magnetic Inserts
  Ideal for trapping ferrous particles, these inserts provide an additional layer of protection for your system.
• Differential Pressure Indicators
  Optimize cleaning schedules by monitoring when strainer maintenance is required, preventing overuse or neglect.

Built for Versatility and Durability

Designed for applications across chemical, petrochemical, and general fluid-flow industries, Viking Lid-Ease Pump Strainers deliver both flexibility and reliability. Key specifications include:

• Size Options: Available for ¾ to 8-inch piping.
• Basket Mesh Choices: Stainless steel screens in 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, or 100 mesh for catching all foreign particles.
• Capacity and Pressure Ratings: Nominal capacities from 20 to 1,500 GPM and rated pressure up to 200 PSI.
• Material Options: Cast iron, ductile iron, aluminum, or stainless steel for both strainer bodies and lids.

Unmatched Benefits

Low-Pressure Drop

Viking Lid-Ease Pump Strainers are engineered for smooth fluid flow, minimizing pressure drop thanks to their inclined basket design. This efficiency is unmatched by conventional basket-type strainers.

Ease of Maintenance

No special tools are needed for lid removal, making cleaning quick and easy. The top basket removal prevents contaminants from re-entering the pipeline, ensuring clean operation every time.

Compact and Lightweight Design

These strainers are perfect for systems with limited space, offering high performance without the bulk of traditional strainers.

Conclusion

Viking Lid-Ease Pump Strainers are an essential component for any operation seeking to maximize pump efficiency and reliability. Their innovative design and high-quality construction make them the ideal choice for industries dealing with challenging fluid flow scenarios.
