The screen or basket is the heart of the SAINATEC strainer. The media flows into the open end of the screen or basket and is strained as it passes through the screen toward the outlet. All particles larger than the screen opening are trapped inside. Screens are provided in perforated metal or wire mesh, depending on strainer size and/or material being strained. Only the best materials of the proper gauge to suit the service are used. All seams are spot welded for maximum strength. Double or reinforced screens are spot welded on the end peripheries as well as the seams.

Reinforced screens consist of a perforated sheet lined with wire mesh. SAINATEC engineers have designed the screens to provide maximum total screen area.

Mesh sizes is related to number of openings per linear inch. All meshes shown are available in carbon steel. 304 S.S. and 316 S.S. Many other meshes and materials are available.
