Rotary Strainers

The Rotary Strainer is a separation device designed for continuous delivery of a strained liquid or slurry stream, free of oversize particles. With a Fluid-Quip rotary strainer installed ahead of your process equipment, you can rest assured knowing that your process is protected against contamination, and your process equipment is protected against plugging, excessive wear, or failure due to contamination. Our improved design allows for consistent operation and minimal maintenance.

DESIGN FEATURES

  • Heavy Duty 316 Stainless Steel Construction resists corrosion from wide range of process applications
  • Rotating brush assembly keeps the internal screen surface free of buildup, ensuring steady, consistent flow, while directing contaminants toward bottom discharge
  • UHMW Brush Elements resist bacterial growth and lock in nylon bristles. Interwoven nylon bristle design ensures that bristles will not come loose and enter process fluid
  • Wide body construction provides ample space inside for operator inspection and maintenance
  • Unique Rotation Limiter keeps brush assembly intact during brief moments of reverse rotation during installation and inspections
  • Bottom screen groove locks internal screen in place to prevent screen from rotating with brushes or becoming misaligned
  • Sturdy Motor support maintains proper alignment of shaft, seals, etc.
  • Rigid Drilled Hole screen provides fine separation while maintaining structural stability
