Mainstrainer
The UTEX® Mainstrainer saves time and money with
its specially engineered features. Centrifugal filtering creates a
vortex action that effectively separates a high percentage of solids
from seal flush liquids. When the liquid is injected under pressure into
the cone shaped cylinder of the mainstrainer, the pressure differential
creates a velocity flow that causes any solids heavier than the liquid
to be expelled to the cone wall and downward to the outlet where they
are drawn to a low pressure area. The clean liquid is directed to the
seal area.
An anti-clog design avoids filter elements that
could clog or fail. And the simple design offers one model for all
pressures and temperature ranges.
Tests have verified that 100 psi is the ideal
pressure for maximum particle separation, although high percentage
removals are achieved at lower pressures with various particle sizes.
Total flow through top and bottom outlets will
equal inlet flow. However, because of pressure differentials between the
seal area and suction area, orifices may be necessary to control liquid
flow. All inlets and outlets are 1/2" NPT.
