APPLICATION-SPECIFIC MODIFICATIONS ENHANCE STRAINER EFFICIENCY

eawater

For industrial plant managers, automatic scraper strainers are among the closest solutions to a true “set-and-forget” system, effectively removing both large and fine suspended solids from industrial water, cooling tower water, liquids, and slurries.  The basic design represents one of the most efficient and cost-effective industrial self-cleaning strainers available. The motorized unit is engineered for minimal maintenance and operator involvement and can remove solids as small as 75 microns. These strainers allow for continuous, uninterrupted flow, including during blowdown cycles.  Cleaning is performed by a spring-loaded blade and brush system…
