Thompson Strainer

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.

Advantages (the principle):

• 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.

Standard specifications for Thompson Strainers:

• Designs with in/out 2” to 10” ports (NPT, ANSI flange and sanitary flange)
• 2 port connections for differential pressure cell
• Standard pressure rating of 150 psig
• Pump suction or pressure installation
• Ultra-polished finish

(Available options) Screen selection based upon your specific needs:

• Wide range of perforated hole-openings from 1/4" to 50 microns
• Inlet/outlet and flush port positioning based on installation
• Stainless steel 304 (standard), 316, or alloy of your choice
• Low-profile or compact model for small spaces
• Wide selection of materials for gaskets to ensure process compatibility
• Bolted, clamp, or eye bolt lid type
• Duplex unit with single control lever
• High flow potential when linked with manifold connector
• Quick and flexible design via the SolidWorks design software
