The Model 2596 automatic self-cleaning strainer from Eaton continuously removes entrained solids from liquid in pipeline systems. It is suited for applications that demand uninterrupted flow and is used for straining cooling water from ponds, lakes or rivers, cooling towers, plant service water, boiler feed water, secondary effluent, irrigation and municipal water intake. The determining factors are the level of solids content and the ability to handle the backwash discharge flow. It can be used when loading is high or upset conditions occur. Continuous flow is ensured even while the system is being backwashed, providing uninterrupted protection for pumps, valves and other process equipment. 800/859-9212; www.eaton.com.
