• Element cleaning without stopping or disrupting the fluid flow.
• Element cleaning without significant fluid loss.
• Fully enclosed system.
• No operator contact with the fluid, ideal for hazardous or sensitive applications.
• No externally introduced contamination issues, increases confidence in the quality of the filtered product.
• Clean operating area and easy environmental contamination control.
• Suitable for virtually all fluids of all viscosity levels.

Factors to be Taken Account of when Selecting a Strainer:

• Fluid type
• Flow rate
• Viscosity
• Temperature – operating and design
• Pressure – operating and design
• Degree of filtration required
• Connection type i.e. flanged PN16, ASA150, screwed BSP, NPT
• Any special requirements i.e. heating jacket, magnets, mounting brackets, dp indicator/switch etc.

• Paint and coatings industry
  Used as a fully automated quality control measure to ensure paint, ink , varnish etc is free of unwanted particulates in the process and filling lines. Used to replace paint bag filters, open sieves and other more labour intensive filtration methods.
• Chemical industry
  Used for filtering process chemical liquids on a automated basis to protect pipeline equipment, as a quality control measure and replacing more manual methods of filtration generally.
• Paper industry
  Frequently used for process water for example in the protection of spray nozzles on paper making machinery and also used on raw water intake and cooling water.
• Power
  Used on industrial water for cooling and the filtration of sealing water to increase the service life of turbine shaft seals.
• Water industry
  Used throughout the industry for straining of raw water usually before other finer filtration methods and on waste water treatment plant etc.
• Food
  Used on suitable applications for example in the chocolate industry as a quality control measure and in the meat industry for process water filtration.
