|---|---|---|
| Fil-Trek FRP-BMB multi-bag housing | fiberglass-reinforced plastic construction, explicitly for corrosive liquid service | Fil-Trek — Industrial Filtration |
| Fil-Trek Fabricated Strainers (90-97 Series) pressure rating | up to ANSI Class 2500 | Fil-Trek — Industrial Filtration |
| Netafim ScreenGuard (Manual Metal Screen Filters) | molded body with stainless 316L screen, rated to 10 bar / 145 psi | Netafim Mining — Heap Leaching Products Catalog |
A single-vessel bag strainer forces a shutdown every time the bag needs swapping. Fil-Trek's duplex DSL/DTL/SLDV/TLDV series uses valve changeover for zero-downtime bag swaps so a continuous mining slurry line doesn't have to stop for a routine change.
Mining process water strainers face two failure modes at once — high solids loading and leach-chemistry attack — which is why Netafim rates its ScreenGuard screens at 145 psi in 316L stainless. A strainer sized only for flow, without accounting for chemistry, fails early in heap-leach service.
