The Thompson Strainer is a unique patented product (U.S. Patent # 5,132,013). Smart and user-friendly, you can use this strainer for a variety of applications in order to remove particles found in water or other fluids. This strainer has a great screen surface area and uses gravity to separate solids from the fluid to be filtered and then screened.
Non-deformable solid particles are flushed via a bottom flush port.
Greater screen surface area that contributes to reduced maintenance (conical screen with 3 to 5 times more screen surface area than with standard basket strainers).
Heavy-duty screen mesh thicker than standard models.
Operates with less than a 1-PSI pressure loss so as to minimize system operating costs.
Simple design, no moving parts, and energy-efficient.
