Product Description
Sea Water Strainers are manufactured in various sizes and can be used for both vertical and horizontal applications. The strainer is made of durable stainless steel for long lasting performance. It is designed to remove solids and debris from the sea water system. The strainer is easy to install and operates on a simple on-off switch. The strainer also features a self-cleaning function to ensure it remains free of debris and clogging. The strainer is also corrosion resistant and is suitable for use in saltwater and fresh water environments.Robust Design for Marine ApplicationsEngineered for challenging marine environments, these sea water strainers use robust materials such as bronze, stainless steel, and cast iron. The corrosion resistance ensures long-lasting performance, even in saline conditions, making them ideal for ship engine cooling and fire protection systems.
Effortless Maintenance and InspectionQuick release or bolted lids and tool-less basket removal streamline maintenance. Optional inspection windows provide rapid visual access for basket monitoring, reducing downtime and ensuring reliable operation. Cleaning is manual, yet designed for simplicity and speed.
Flexible Mounting and Wide Capacity RangeInstallation can be adapted to either horizontal or vertical orientation, depending on the system layout. With flow capacities from 10 to 500 m3/hr and weights varying per model, these strainers suit diverse marine and industrial requirements. Packaging options ensure safe transport and handling.
FAQ's of Sea Water Strainers:
Q: How is maintenance performed on these sea water strainers?
A: Maintenance involves manually removing the basket without any tools, thanks to quick release or bolted lids. Periodic cleaning of the perforated basket is recommended to ensure optimal filtration and system performance.
Q: What connection types are available for installation?
A: Strainers feature both flanged and threaded end connections, allowing integration with various piping systems typically found in ships and industrial facilities.
Q: When should the basket be inspected or replaced?
A: Basket inspection should be conducted regularly during scheduled maintenance, especially in high debris environments. Replacement is needed if significant clogging or damage occurs; this process is simple due to the replaceable basket design.
Q: Where are sea water strainers most commonly used?
A: These strainers are widely deployed in ship engine cooling systems, fire protection pump installations, and desalination plants, wherever reliable sea water filtration is needed.
Q: What benefits do optional inspection windows provide?
A: The inspection window lets users visually monitor basket condition without opening the lid, enabling quick checks and reducing unnecessary maintenance intervals.
Q: What basket material is used and why?
A: Stainless steel is used for the basket material due to its corrosion resistance, durability, and ability to withstand harsh marine environments, supporting long-term reliability.
Q: What is the typical filtration accuracy provided by these strainers?
A: Filtration accuracy typically ranges between 1 mm and 3 mm perforation, ensuring protection for downstream equipment from larger particulates in the sea water.
