Hellan Strainers

As a leading provider of fluid straining systems, Hellan Strainers remove all types of solids (such as algae, zebra mussels, sand, grit, debris, machine cutting chips, etc.) from various fluids. They are extremely popular due to their reliability, efficient operation and cost savings. Instead of trapping solids like conventional basket strainers (which necessitate frequent basket removal for cleaning), the Hellan Strainer discharges solids from the flow without disassembly. This reduces operational and maintenance costs and permits continuous flow of fluids.

Cast Iron, Cast Steel or Stainless Steel

Strainers range from 1/2″ to 20″ and fabricated in 2"- 60" sizes. The nature of the fluid to be strained determines the material of the casting. Cast iron models are most common for freshwater applications. Cast steel can be used for higher pressure or where water hammer occurs. Stainless steel is used for highly corrosive fluids and bronze is used for seawater applications. Since the degree of straining required differs widely by application, a broad selection of perforated metal screen sizes is offered, as well as screens utilizing fine wedge wire filtration.

Where will you find Hellan Strainers?

They are used in the steel, petrochemical, and power generation industries to protect cooling systems and other applications. They are also used in freshwater, wastewater, and fire protection fluid straining systems solutions in both industrial and commercial buildings, refineries, and offshore oil rigs. Navy ships use self cleaning fluid strainers for seawater cooling protection of critical electronic equipment, fire protection systems, and filtration of lube oil and propulsion fuel systems. Hellan Strainers are even found in mission critical data centers.
