Application Available in long and short models, Streamline™ filters and strainers provide versatile, cost-effective filtration. Designed for maximum application flexibility, the Streamline housing accepts a wide range of disposable filter and reusable strainer media. They are ideal for use in the dairy, food, beverage, meat and poultry, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. Working principle The Streamline™ filters and strainers are designed to promote product quality and sanitation, while protecting processing equipment such as homogenizers, meters, spray nozzles, needle valves, and pumps. Standard Design One of the industry’s most enduring product designs, the Streamline™ offers an efficient free-flow design, corrosionresistant 316L stainless steel, sanitary design, and lightweight construction. The Streamline is available in two lengths to provide optimum filtration area for the application. Approved for use in USDA meat and poultry inspected plants, the Streamline™ is furnished with a single screen for straining large particles or with a backup tube and over screen with small perforations for removing finer particles.
