Self cleaning strainers are designed for applications where automated cleaning cycle is preferred. Automated Strainers reduce the manual process of cleaning the baskets.
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), automated strainers discharge solids from the flow without disassembly. This reduces operational and maintenance costs and permits continuous flow of fluids.


All Hellan Automatic Industrial Strainers are manufactured to ISO-9001 and meet all codes: ASME, CE/PED, Lloyds Register, Navy Mil Specs, and others for industrial and marine environments.

All Hellan Manual Strainers are manufactured to ISO-9001 and meet all codes: ASME, CE/PED, Lloyds Register, Navy Mil Specs, and others for industrial and marine environments.

All Hellan Large Automatic Strainers are manufactured to ISO-9001 and meet all codes: ASME, CE/PED, Lloyds Register, Navy Mil Specs, and others for industrial and marine environments.
Hellan Strainers are cast in sizes from 1 1/2" to 20" and fabricated in larger sizes. The nature of the fluid to be strained determines the material of the casting. Cast iron models are most common for fresh water 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 are offered, as well as screens utilizing fine wedgewire filtration.
