Aquatic Strainer Design

Basket Strainer Selection
Fluidtrol Process Technologies, Inc. is a manufacturer of basket strainers for the aquatics community, also called hair and lint strainers.. Although we also make strainers and equipment for industry, our original product line is specialized for aquatic applications. We believe we build the best strainer available and should be given consideration for your next aquatic facility.

• FPT, Inc. has been making basket strainers and related products for the aquatics community since 1992.
• The Aquatic Series has been engineered specifically for the Aquatic Industry.
  
• Composite laminate construction offers corrosion resistance of PVC and the mechanical strength of fiberglass.
  
• Solvent Fused and backwelded prior to addition of fiberglass over-wrap.
  
• If necessary strainers can be made to conform to ASME code for non-metallic pressure vessels.
  
• Our stainless strainers are welded from SCH 10 304 SS and have the same design and features.
  
• Both materials create minimum pressure drop in the line due to large open area: pipe diameter ratios.
  
• Wide variety of models and configurations to choose from as well as custom strainers for special applications.
  
• Oversized bodies can be fabricated for high loading applications to minimize basket cleaning.

Fluidtrol Components

Our attention to detail is obvious when we break down key components of the Strainer. These units were specifically developed and engineered for aquatic applications, with the end-user in mind. Fluidtrol's ability to customize components to meet a specific application's needs is perhaps our most valuable offering to aquatic designers.
