What is an IWAKO Auto Strainer? The Ultimate Guide to Automatic Filtration

In high-demand industrial environments, stopping production to clean a filter is not an option. This is where the Automatic Strainer—or Auto Strainer—becomes essential. Specifically, the IWAKO Auto Strainer represents the pinnacle of automated industrial filtration, offering a reliable, low-maintenance solution for continuous fluid cleaning.

If you are looking for a way to maximize system uptime and protect critical downstream equipment, understanding the role of this technology is key.

How Does an Automatic Strainer Work?

Unlike traditional manual strainers that require an operator to physically stop the process and clean the basket, the IWAKO Auto Strainer is engineered for continuous operation.

The core principle is simple yet ingenious:

Filtration Cycle: Fluid enters the strainer and passes through a fine screen or mesh element, which captures solid particles and debris.
Pressure Monitoring: As debris collects, pressure builds up inside the strainer. The system monitors this differential pressure continuously.
Self-Cleaning (Backwash): When the pressure reaches a preset level, the Auto Strainer automatically initiates a cleaning cycle. It momentarily reverses the flow (backwash) over a small section of the screen, flushing the concentrated debris out of the system through a drain valve.
Continuous Operation: The entire cleaning process is quick, often lasting only a few seconds, and occurs without interrupting the main filtration flow.

The Key Benefits of Choosing an IWAKO Auto Strainer

Investing in an Automatic Strainer provides significant long-term returns compared to manual solutions:

Maximum Uptime: The ability to clean itself on the fly means you never have to shut down production due to a clogged filter.
Lower Operating Costs: Automation eliminates the labor and time costs associated with manual cleaning and filter element replacement.
Superior Equipment Protection: By maintaining a consistently clean flow, the strainer prevents abrasive particles from damaging expensive pumps, nozzles, and heat exchangers.
Consistent Performance: The self-cleaning mechanism ensures the filter operates at optimal efficiency at all times, preventing pressure drop fluctuations.
