Duplex Basket Strainer on Skid (Concept)

Duplex Basket Strainer on Skid (Concept) This is a concept model made to show my 3D modelling of process equipment. The dimensions are representative, not from a manufacturer's catalogue, and the design is not engineered or rated for pressure. What it is: a duplex basket strainer on a steel skid frame. Two strainer chambers sit either side of a central diverter housing with a changeover plug valve, so one basket can be cleaned while the other stays in service. Flow comes in on one DN80 flanged stub and leaves on the other, and each stub has a pressure gauge. Model: 188 separate parts, all modelled in FreeCAD. The main groups are: - Diverter housing: body, bottom plate, top cap, neck, four port necks, nameplate - Changeover plug, stem, gland nut, lever hub, lever and lever nut - Bonnet cover on the housing, with gasket, 6 bolts and 6 nuts - Two strainer chambers, each with shell, bottom plate, neck, flange ring, seat ring, cover gasket and cover - Per chamber: 8 cover bolts, 8 washers and 8 nuts, vent boss and plug, drain boss and plug, centre boss, spindle and handwheel - Two perforated baskets, each with body, bottom, rim and handle - Four flanged joints (inlet, outlet and the two chamber connections), each with flange, gasket, mating flange, bolts and nuts - Inlet and outlet pipe stubs with end flanges, and a pressure gauge on each (socket, stub, body, face, bezel) - Skid frame: 2 rails, 2 cross members, 3 legs and foot pads per chamber Files included: - STEP (.step): every part as a separate solid, for opening in other CAD software - STL (.stl): mesh for viewing or 3D printing a scale model - FreeCAD (.FCStd): the native, editable model - Gallery images: assembled, front, top and exploded views - Turntable video with an exploded view (the link is added once it is uploaded) These are STEP, STL and FreeCAD files. They are not SolidWorks, Fusion 360 or Inventor native files. If you need a similar process-equipment model, an exploded view, or a model built from your own dimensions, please contact me.
