QUICK TIPS Did you know strainer clips and elastomers are consumable items and fatigue over time? Clips: The fit of a clip must be checked regularly and replaced when it no longer provides a secure fit or is overly worn. Elastomers: Plan to replace the strainer elastomers annually at a minimum. Not sure when to clean a strainer? Installing a pressure gauge before and after a strainer can help. When the gauge placed after the strainer drops 8 to 10 psi following the initial flow start-up, you’ll know it is time to clean. GOOD TO KNOW • Strainer & Element Material: 316Lss • Sanitary ID Finish: 32 µin Ra welds ground & polished (Strainer Body / Internals and Perforated Elements). Wedgewire elements have bead blasted finish. • CRN Registered Maximum Pressure Rating (Standard Tri-Clamp) : 100 psi (4" body) • Full Assembly Maximum Pressure Rating (Standard Tri-Clamp): 125 psi (4" body), 75 psi (6" body) • Full Assembly Maximum Pressure Rating (High Pressure Tri-Clamp): 200 psi (4" & 6" body) • Maximum Temperature Rating: 250 °F • For wedgewire element sizing, it is recommended that the slot size is 30-50% smaller than the particle size to increase capture efficiency (e.g., to capture a 0.010" particle, use 0.005" or 0.007" wedgewire). • A hot water jacket option is available for 4" strainer bodies, contact Sani-Matic for custom quoting. • When shipped, strainer assemblies with a Teflon Encapsulated O-ring are not lubricated. Strainer assemblies with other O-ring materials will be lubricated with an FDA-compliant silicone grease. • High-Capacity Angle-Line Strainers have a 6" Body Size and are ideal for higher-volume processes. • Sample / Drain Ports are 0.5" tri-clamp ports added to the frame tri-clamp cap (for magnetic trap strainers, they are added to the strainer body). They drain a majority of the liquid, but are not 100% drainable. NOTE: A cap or sample valve is not included in the assembly. • End-Inlet Strainers are Standard Flow and Side-Inlet Strainers are Reverse Flow. • Filter tubes are FDA-compliant, and when used with perforated elements 3 / 32 " or larger maintain overall strainer assembly 3-A authorization. • Tuf-Flex ® Gaskets are PTFE gaskets with an EPDM core that helps to reduce "stickiness" of the gasket allowing for an easier and quicker strainer element removal process. • Strainer design uses a metal-on-metal seal where a gap of up to 0.005" may exist due to tolerances.
