Our custom rotary drum strainers are used to separate and sieve particles from product streams and are mainly used in situations with a high water flow and relatively small load of solid particles. Our strainers are stainless steel and ideal for a variety of applications. The rotating filter drum is continuously cleaned by a steam header and rotation against a scraper blade. Benefits of a rotary drum strainer include:
High throughput
- Continuous operation
- Low operating costs / low energy input required
- Sturdy construction
- Wide range of applications due to stainless steel
- Direct sludge outlet into drainage container
- Can serve as a single-service CIP system for a brine environment
More about rotary drum strainers
Rotary drum strainers consist of a large rotating wedge wire strainer within a stainless steel chest. Water passes through the screen and drains into a reservoir to be pumped for further processing. Solids are retained on the outside of the screen and are rotated toward a scraping blade. The blade removes the particles stuck to the outside of the screen which prevents build up and clogging.
Rotary drum strainers are used for a variety of applications including wash water for vegetables with fibrous waste of roots and leaves, or for separting curds from whey in cheesemaking.
