MS Duplex Strainer
A Duplex Strainer comprises two parallel filtration chambers connected via a valve mechanism. While one chamber is in operation, the other can be cleaned or serviced, ensuring uninterrupted flow. The valve system, typically a 3-way ball valve or butterfly valve, facilitates seamless switching between chambers .
