Model 2596 2-8 Inch Automatic Self-Cleaning Basket Strainer

Cast Iron or Stainless Steel, Flanged, 2" to 8"
The Eaton Model 2596 2" to 8" Automatic Self-cleaning Strainer is designed for the continuous removal of particle solids from liquids in pipeline systems, preventing damage to expensive pipeline system components. It features the unique idL™ shaft seal that positively prevents leakage from the backwash shaft at the top of the strainer.

    Features:
  • Flow rates up to 1800 gpm (409 m3/hr)
  • A broad selection of screen options
  • Automatic backwashing for operator-free service and minimal backwash effluent
  • Cenpeller technology for more efficient and complete backwashing
Available Sizes: 2", 3", 4", 6", 8"

To simplify maintenance the Model 2596 features a unitized modular assembly. The motor, gear reducer, and the internal operating mechanism are housed within the strainer cover and lift off as a unit. This makes all components easily accessible and reduces associated maintenance costs.

With an automatic control system monitoring the strainer operation, cleaning is accomplished by an integral backwash system. A small portion of the screen element is isolated and cleaned by reverse flow. The remaining screen area continues to strain – providing uninterrupted flow. With this efficient design, only a small amount of the liquid being strained is used to carry away the debris from the strainer. Continuous flow is assured and protection is provided for nozzles, pumps, valves, heat exchangers, and process equipment.
Cenpeller™ Technology
A common problem in many automatic selfcleaning strainers is inefficient backwashing due to debris lodged in the strainer element.

The Model 2596 2"- 8" strainer features a unique vane plate positioned at the inlet of the strainer element where it contacts the process media before it enters the element. The vane causes the incoming liquid to move in a circular motion forcing the debris to lay up against the surface of the strainer element rather than lodging in the element’s openings. Lodged debris can negatively impact the differential pressure across the strainer, resulting in a shut down of the strainer and manual cleaning of the element.

Cenpeller Technology helps prevent this situation and delivers easier and more efficient backwashing.
