MECHANICALLY CLEANED STRAINERS

MECHANICALLY CLEANED STRAINERS this type of strainer is used for non-water fluids or for applications where it is important to minimize product loss. Very often these are used for viscous fluids and other difficult to filter fluids such as paint, wax, and food/beverage applications. An internal disc wipes the surface of the element, pushing all of the retained particles to the purge chamber. When the drain valve is opened, the system pressure flushes the particles out the drain. The cleaning cycle is typically < 1 second and the volume of solids/fluid < 1 gallon. The internal stroke frequency and the purging frequency are set with programmable timers.
