Unlike conventional Strainers such as Y-Type Strainers, Simplex & Fabricated (T-Type Strainers and Duplex Strainers... Self-Cleaning Automatic Strainers provide an effective means of filtering liquids without the need to shut down the system flow or to clean the screen element manually.

Once the maximum pre-set pressure differential has been reached the strainer switches to the self-cleaning mode and the back-flush valve opens. At the same time a specially designed cleaning head rotates across the surface of the screen element to drain away the collected solids. Once the screen element is clean and the differential pressure has returned to the minimum level the unit switches back to normal filter mode. During the cleaning/back-flush mode approximately 5% of the continuous flow rate is used to drain away the collected solids.

Self-Cleaning Automatic Strainer Systems are designed and produced to suit low, medium and high pressure requirements and a range of filtration levels. Vessel and internal component materials such as Steel, Stainless Steel, Duplex Stainless Steel and others are readily available, as are special internal linings such as rubber and epoxy coatings. Equipment packages can be supplied as skid-mounted or free standing and process control components such as valves, instrumentation and electrical are included as a standard feature.

Design and manufacturing code compliance is a standard feature as is stringent Quality Control and Quality Assurance in accordance with recognised audit standards and certifying authorities.

• Custom-made and Packaged Strainer Systems

Start-Up and Commissioning Strainers are employed during the testing and commissioning phase of construction projects to trap debris as a means of protecting sensitive equipment and/or instrumentation. Typical configurations are Cone (Witch's Hat), Top Hat (Basket) or Plate. 

During the construction phase spool pieces will be fitted to the pipeline at specific locations to facilitate the installation of the Strainers. The placement of the temporary strainer spools is usually at a point in the system where critical downstream equipment such as valves, pumps, gauges, instrumentation and other process equipment need to be protected during start-up.

The basic construction is usually perforated metal or welded wire mesh. Finer mesh can be fitted to either the outside or the inside of the basic assembly depending upon the direction of flow and/or the method preferred to capture and remove collected debris. The Strainers can be installed horizontally or vertically

Other Strainer types that can be used during the start-up and commissioning phase of a project are: Bathtub Strainers, Wedge Wire Flat Plate Strainers, Basket Strainers, Tee Strainers, Diaphragm Strainers and Reinforced Plate Strainers.
