Thompson Strainer

The Thompson Strainer, manufactured by Miller-Leaman Inc. of the USA, is a self-cleaning stainless steel strainer of very low head loss. Units are available in 50 mm to 250 mm sizes for flows up to 150 litres/sec or more and pressures up to 1000 kPa. Mesh size openings are available from 75 to 1000 micron.
       
      Applications in Process and General Industry  
    The Thompson Strainer is particularly suited for separating particles of different specific gravity to the carrying medium, e.g. sand and grit from water. The units have very low head-loss and can therefore be used where there may be insufficient pressure for other mean of filtration.  
           
      Applications in Water and Waste Water    
   

Thompson strainers have been used as primary filters for irrigation and small town water supply installations. The self-cleaning feature coupled with automatic draining of the sediment collected makes for units of minimum maintenance.

    
           
      Applications in Mining and Mineral Processing    
    Thompson strainers have also been used in mining and mineral processing applications for separating solid particles from the process stream. Their solid construction in stainless steel gives long and reliable operation.
