Simplex and Duplex filters from Global Valves & Engineering

Global Valves and Engineering are proud to represent the Plenty Filters UK range of filters. The Plenty Filters UK range of filters includes basket type strainers of simple robust construction. These can be supplied as Simplex (single) basket type for general applications where the process flow is intermittent or can be stopped for element cleaning such as tanker loading or drum filling. Alternatively they can be of Duplex (dual) basket type incorporating two 100% capacity filtration chambers connected by an integral flow changeover valve permitting flow to be switched between chambers, enabling basket cleaning to be performed without interruption to process flow such as is necessary on cooling water systems or gland sealing systems.

Overview: The general purpose standard, single basket filters feature an OSHA friendly quick-release cover for easy access, cleaning and maintenance. The design does not require specialised tools or knowledge, and results in a minimum of downtime. Suitable for both liquid and gas applications.

Sizes / Connections: 25mm to 300mm bore, flanged to ANSI 150/300RF for cast steel and stainless steel or ANSI 125/250 FF for cast iron or bronze. Class 600 filters (Simplex Type "T") are also available. Can be drilled to BS tables and or DIN standards. Also available with screwed connections 1" and 1½" sizes.

Filtration: Fitted with 2mm perforated basket as standard, which can be fitted with special cleanable mesh inserts for liquids or gases to achieve filtration from 20 mesh (920 micron) down to 300 mesh (45 micron) or Betamesh to 10 micron.

Dual wall gas baskets with disposable PAFIC elements can filter gases down to 1-2 micron.

Materials: Cast iron, cast steel and stainless steel, bronze, aluminium bronze and special rubber lined or Resistex lined bodies.

Applications: Simplex filters have become well established for applications such as RO pre-filtration, natural gas, side-filtration for HVAC cooling towers, diesel fuel, petroleum, sea water cooling water circuits, bio-diesel and alternative fuels, coal-seam gas and pump gland seal filtration, to name a few.
