Ensure efficient delivery <strong>to</strong> the nozzle<br />
Line Strainers<br />
Line strainers are another critical component of your au<strong>to</strong>mated system.<br />
Particulates in the liquid can clog nozzles or s<strong>to</strong>p their rotation, which<br />
results in insufficient cleaning <strong>and</strong> potential product contamination.<br />
Filtering the liquid with line strainers prevents clogging <strong>and</strong> also extends<br />
the wear life of downstream equipment including nozzles <strong>and</strong> pumps.<br />
For fine straining, woven wire mesh screens provide very small openings<br />
<strong>to</strong> strain particulates down <strong>to</strong> 200 mesh (74 microns). The mesh screen<br />
should be made of stainless steel for strength <strong>and</strong> corrosion resistance.<br />
The screen is critical <strong>to</strong> the operation of the strainer, <strong>and</strong> an extra screen<br />
should be kept on h<strong>and</strong> for each strainer installed.<br />
See page 49 for strainer <strong>and</strong> mesh recommendations.<br />

Lances are more than just an installation component — they ensure<br />
efficient delivery of the liquid <strong>to</strong> the nozzle. For trouble-free system<br />
performance <strong>and</strong> the convenience of working with a single supplier,<br />
we can design <strong>and</strong> fabricate lances for any of our nozzles. Lances are<br />
available in different lengths for optimal positioning within the tank.<br />
For example, nozzles can be positioned so that the spray impacts<br />
directly on the heavily soiled areas or skim lines.<br />
