Backflushing Strainer

Model BFS

Backflush strainers have been specifically designed for use in applications where an automatic cleaning strainer is required to ensure process continuity.
This comprehensive range of strainers have been designed for filtering water for applications such as nozzle protection, cooling, quenching, and descaling.

Standard size range 80mm (3") ­ 300mm (12"). Sizes over 300mm, up to 750mm can be made to order.

Backflushing Strainer - Features
  • Cast iron or stainless steel construction.
  • Stainless steel screen with replaceable mesh lining.
  • Efficient cleaning action, with low liquid loss.
  • Low power consumption.
  • Filtration level down to 45 micron.
  • Adjustable backflush valve to reduce water loss.
  • IP65 automation.
  • Backflushing Strainer - Operation
    Fluid flows from the inside of the screen to the outside.
    Differential pressure increases as debris is collected on the inside surface.
    This initiates the cleaning cycle that consists of the collector arm rotating and backflush valve opening.
    This cleaning action causes a localised reversal of flow, removing debris from the screen and discharging it through the valve.
