Self Cleaning Strainers

Q: What are the main advantages of installing a Self-Cleaning Strainer?

The primary advantages of Self-Cleaning Strainers include: Continuous Operation: They allow processes to run uninterrupted by automatically cleaning the strainer element, eliminating the need for manual cleaning and system shutdowns. Reduced Maintenance: These strainers significantly lower maintenance efforts and costs by automating the cleaning process, which is particularly beneficial in hard-to-access or hazardous environments. Long Service Life: With fewer moving parts and advanced designs that minimise wear, self-cleaning strainers tend to have a longer service life than traditional strainers. Efficiency and Protection: By ensuring a consistent flow and preventing clogging, self-cleaning strainers enhance system efficiency and offer superior protection for downstream equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Self-Cleaning Strainers work?

Self-cleaning strainers automate removing debris and particulates from the filter element within the strainer, ensuring continuous flow and reducing maintenance requirements. They typically operate using one of two mechanisms: tubular backwashing or mechanically cleaned technology. In tubular backwashing systems, a reverse flow is initiated to clean the filter element. Mechanically cleaned strainers use a scraper or brush mechanism that physically removes debris from the filter surface. Both methods ensure the strainer operates efficiently without manual intervention, maintaining optimal flow rates and protecting downstream equipment.

Can Self-Cleaning Strainers be customised for specific applications?

Yes, Self-Cleaning Strainers can be extensively customised to meet the specific requirements of various applications. Customisation options include materials to suit different fluids and operating environments, connection types for seamless integration into existing systems, and specific design features like pressure ratings and filtration sizes. Additionally, exotic materials and special coatings or linings can be requested for unique applications. It's advisable to consult with the manufacturer, such as Purple Engineering, to discuss your specific needs and explore the available customisation options to ensure optimal performance and compatibility with your system.

Key Functions of Strainers

Particle Removal

Industrial strainers have been designed to capture and remove solid particles such as dirt, debris, rust, scale, and other impurities from liquids like water, oil, chemicals, or gases.

Extended Equipment Life

By removing solid contaminants, industrial strainers contribute to the longevity and efficient operation of industrial equipment. Reduced wear and tear on components leads to longer maintenance intervals and a longer overall lifespan for the equipment.

Maintenance Reduction

Regular maintenance and cleaning of industrial equipment is definitely time-consuming and costly. Strainers help reduce the frequency of maintenance activities by preventing the accumulation of debris in the system.

Equipment Protection

The main purpose of using an industrial strainer is to protect downstream equipment and components from damage caused by particles present in the fluid. For example, strainers help prevent damage to pumps, valves, heat exchangers, and other critical components by ensuring that only clean fluid passes through pipelines.

Process Efficiency

Uninterrupted fluid flow without the obstruction of contaminants improves the overall efficiency of industrial processes. This is particularly important in industries such as water treatment, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing.
