Single Filters provide a cost-effective method of protecting pipeline equipment, cleaning liquids or salvaging valuable solids
Principle of Operation
Airpel Series OV single basket filters are designed for the removal of solids from liquid flows. Any solids larger than the selected filtration media are retained within the filter basket (in to out filtration) and can then be disposed of safely and in a controlled manner. The OV series is used in liquid handling installations where the flow can be interrupted for short periods to allow the removal of the basket for cleaning.
Construction
All Airpel Series single basket filters are of cast construction and house a high quality stainless steel cylindrical basket. The design allows quick and easy access to the basket so it can be cleaned and re-used, helping reduce operating costs and controlling debris levels.
Airpel Series Features and Benefits – OV (Single / Simplex)
| Feature | Advantage | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Robust simple design | Low cost effective unit | Keeps within budget constraints |
| Easy access cover design | Quick opening for access to basket(s) | Reduced down time and no tooling required |
| Compact Design | Smaller foot print | Can be installed in tight / small locations |
| Multi basket option | High levels of filtration area and more compact design (Compared to ‘like for like’ products) | Less space required for installation and high filtration area gained |
| Screw and flange connection options available | Client can chose best options for their installation | Suit new or existing pipeline connections and reduce costs |
| Standard Airpel Design | Wide range of sizes and materials available from standard stock | Meets customers delivery and budget requirements |
| Basket design | Debris is held within basket | Re-use, easier & cleaner to dispose of unwanted filtered solids |
| Higher filtration area / volume than ‘Y’ types or conical filters | Lower clean pressure differential and greater dirt holding capacity | Less down time, potential smaller filter selection |
Single Filters provide a cost-effective method of protecting pipeline equipment, cleaning liquids or salvaging valuable solids.
Incorporated are a number of special features such as high filtration in a compact design and various optional extras. The filter is of cast construction and is supplied with one high quality stainless steel cylindrical basket. It is used in liquid handling installations where the flow can be shut off for short periods to allow the removal of the basket for cleaning.

Protect Pipeline Equipment Against Damage
Machinery such as pumps and valves can be broken by grit, metal fragments, etc. while nozzles and heat exchangers have narrow construction that could easily become blocked, this equipment is expensive to repair / replace and the cost of downtime could be crippling, so the installation of a strainer ensures that the primary equipment is protected from any unplanned outage.
Typical Applications would include:
- Nozzle protection
- Heat exchanger protection
- Valve protection
- Pump protection
Remove particles from fluid product
Even if pipeline equipment is not at risk particles in discharge may breach environmental legislation or product acceptance criteria, so the use of a strainer / filter can prove to be a cost effecting and efficient way to maintain the process fluids quality whilst maintaining working standards.
Common industries where product quality is essential:
- Water treatment
- Food and beverage
- Pharmaceutical
- Paints, inks and varnishes, etc.
