Strainers

New "Slip-On" gravity strainer screen – Now replace a worn screen in 20 minutes or less. See how on the video.

Kadant offers two different strainer technologies for removal of suspended particulate.
The type of strainer best suited for the application depends on the influent solid loading and mesh size selected.

For applications with total suspended solids less than 1000 ppm and media retention requirements between 60-200 mesh (75-233 micron), the Gravity Strainer is the equipment of choice.

The VA Vacuum Assisted Gravity Strainer is an enhanced version of the Gravity Strainer. The unit will operate with influent total suspended solid loadings as high as 5000 ppm (0.5%), and with screen sizes as fine as 325 mesh (44 micron).

A major advantage of the VA Vacuum Assisted Strainer is its ability to operate through upset conditions, therefore minimizing equipment downtime and eliminating the need for operator intervention.
