Automatic

Automatic strainers clean themselves while the line stays in service. When debris builds up on the screen, a backwash cycle or rotating cleaning arm flushes it to drain, so there's no basket to pull and no interruption to flow.

Automatic Strainer Designs

• Backwash strainers – reverse flow through screen sections
• Motorized scraper or brush strainers – scrub the screen for sticky solids
• Differential pressure triggered – clean only when needed
• Timer-based cleaning – routine cycles for steady debris loads

Typical Applications

Automatic strainers protect heat exchangers, spray nozzles and cooling systems on cooling water, raw water intakes, process water and wastewater lines. For sizing, gather the flow rate, debris type and load, required screen size and line pressure. They're a strong upgrade where manual strainers need cleaning several times a shift.

Centro can help you size an automatic strainer that matches your flow and debris load.
