Application
Available in long and short models, Mainstream®filters and strainers with side-entry ports provide versatile, cost-effective, basket-style
filtration. Designed for maximum application flexibility, the Mainstream housing accepts a wide range of filtration and strainer media. For
strainer applications, the unit can be fitted with a variety of different baskets. When used as a filter, the Mainstream® unit incorporates a
perforated stainless steel basket designed to hold disposable filter bags. Fine filtration can be achieved down to 0.5 micron. They are
ideal for use in the dairy, food, beverage, meat and poultry, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries.
Working Principle
With their large surface area, Mainstream® filters and strainers combine high flow rates, low pressure drop, and simple cleanup and
servicing. High capacity and long filter cycles mean Mainstream® filters and strainers need significantly less servicing — all particles are
contained inside the basket (or bag) for quick, easy disposal. The Mainstream® housing stays in the processing line; only the basket is
removed during change-over. The end result for you is more efficient separation, faster throughput, and reduced media change over due to
the larger surface area of the Mainstream®.
Standard Design
The Mainstream® filters and strainers are designed to promote product quality and sanitation. It also features a free-flow design; stainless
steel construction for sanitation and corrosion-resistance; compatibility with a variety of filtering media; and fast, easy servicing. The standard
pressure relief cover for safe operation includes manual valve and drain elbow assembly. Two model sizes are available to accommodate a
wide range of capacities. The inside-out flow prevents basket damage and, the unique handle with lock design for positive O-ring sealing
prevents bypass and improves efficiency (US Patent No 4,775,469).
