Product Features and Benefits: Waukesha Cherry-Burrell stainless steel filters and strainers are designed for sanitary and efficient flow, offering flexibility in installation and easy cleanup. Filters remove fine particles from liquids, requiring periodic replacement of the filtering media. Strainers, which are coarse filters, remove larger particles and can be reused after cleaning.

Inline and Side Entry Strainers: Available in sizes ranging from 1” (25 mm) to 4” (101 mm), these strainers are designed to remove particles of various sizes from products. They are not intended for odor or impurity removal. A pressure drop of 2 to 5 PSI indicates the need for filter media replacement. Protection from damage is advised when used with high-speed or positive pumps.

Ordering and Part Numbers: Customers can build their part numbers based on style, size, line size, backup tube, port inlet and outlet, overscreen, elastomer, and tags. Specific part numbers are provided for different connection types and seal materials.

Typical Applications: The filters and strainers are used in food applications such as baby foods, soups, tomato paste, fruit puree, and beverages like beer, soft drinks, and fruit concentrates.

Technical Specifications: The document provides detailed dimensions and pressure drop curves for both short and long units, with a pressure rating of 200 PSI at 70°F. The filter area is 1 ft² for short units and 2 ft² for long units, with maximum flow rates of 125 gpm and 200 gpm, respectively.
