FAQ

What is an industrial strainer?
An industrial strainer removes solids from liquid flow lines. In sugar mills, it’s used for juice clarification, syrup filtration, and massecuite processing.

Why are duplex strainers used in sugar processing?
Duplex strainers allow cleaning without shutting down production, which is essential in continuous crystallization systems.

How does a backflushing strainer work?
It reverses flow to dislodge trapped debris, reducing downtime and manual maintenance.
