Y Strainers are devices for removing unwanted solids from liquid, gas or steam streams (strainer) by means of a filter. As the name suggests, the valve has a "Y" shape design to easily clean the filter screen and remove dirt and debris from the valve. They are used in pipelines to protect pumps, control valves, steam traps, regulators and other process equipment.
The structure of the Y-filter valve is quite simple, including 3 main parts as follows: Valve body, Filter mesh, and Y-filter valve cover.
The industries where filter media are best used are those that need constant protection from debris. The most common use for medical filtration is in steam applications. With a "Y" shaped valve body design, the Y filter is good for high pressure hot steam, specifically:
- Used in clean water piping systems: Clean water, except pure water, often has sediment or waste that can get stuck in the pipes.
- Used in wastewater environments and wastewater treatment systems. These are locations with a lot of waste and sediment, so installing a Y filter is extremely necessary
- Use in fire protection systems: Any fire protection system requires a Y filter device. It is installed in front of water pump systems to remove trash before water is pumped. up the pipe
- Application in hot steam system: Hot steam for the purpose of removing dust or suspended objects contained in the hot steam. Helps clean hot steam before supplying steam to used equipment. To ensure technical standards, any system needs to have a heat filter
- Using medical filters in food and fast food production systems
- Arranged on the pipeline system of beverage and beverage factories
- Used in chemical environments, typically plastic Y filters because of their impressive performance and relatively reasonable price.
- In addition, it is also widely used in laboratory systems, pharmaceutical production systems, finished drug products, and the medical industry...
