If you pump water, you know how important it is to keep equipment running smoothly and water flowing freely. Whether you are pumping water from a stream, canal, river, ditch, pit, sump, or pond, you need the water to be free of debris that could block water flow, damage the pump, clog water distribution equipment or damage process equipment.
The Self-Cleaning Suction Screen is galvanized or epoxy coated and utilizes a heavy 12, 18, or 24 mesh stainless steel screen designed to increase pump efficiency. The screen continuously removes debris from water. This saves time and money in fuel, pumping efficiency, and maintenance costs. The Self-Cleaning Suction Screens can be used for agricultural, turf, industrial, centrifugal, or turbine pump applications.
The suction screen is attached to the end of the pump in the water source. All water pulled in must traverse the screen before entering the intake pipe. The screen stops trash and debris from entering and causing costly maintenance requirements in your system. The pump discharge return line drives two spray bars that continually rotate, jet water at the screen, and blast debris away from the screen at 2.8 to 4.5 bar (40 to 65 psi) operating range.
The suction screen has no exterior moving parts. It can be installed at any altitude without the operation being affected. The screen is uncollapsible and corrosion resistant and also has a standard flanged connection. Other connections are available upon request.
