FAQ

What is the typical application for this Alwilco suction strainer?

It is designed to be submerged in the hydraulic fluid reservoir and attached to the pump's suction line. Its primary role is to filter out large contaminants like metal shavings, dirt, or debris before they can damage the hydraulic pump.

The correct mesh size (measured in microns or mesh count) depends on the pump manufacturer's recommendations and the system's cleanliness requirements. A common size for suction strainers is 100-mesh (approximately 149 microns), which protects against coarse particles without causing excessive flow restriction or pump cavitation.

Yes, all-metal suction strainers like this one are designed to be cleaned and reused. They should be inspected and cleaned during routine hydraulic system maintenance using a suitable solvent and compressed air. However, if the mesh is damaged or clogged beyond cleaning, it must be replaced.
