High Flow Mechanically Cleaned Strainers

Eaton MCS mechanically cleaned strainers are adapted from the high-performance MCF-824 filter design, optimized specifically for water-like fluids and coarser particle retention thresholds—typically tracking no finer than 150 microns.

No Dynamic Seals: The defining advantage of the MCS series lies in its ultra-fast, magnetically coupled actuation system. By eliminating traditional housing cover through-holes, this design completely removes dynamic seals prone to wear, leakage, and degradation. This upgrade reduces maintenance overhead, prevents fluid loss, and dramatically cuts downtime.

To maintain a clean screen without interrupting process flow, a spring-loaded wiping disc travels vertically up and down the interior length of the element. This movement drives accumulated debris down into the bottom purge chamber.

The mechanical drive system relies on a hollow central shaft containing heavy-duty rare-earth magnets. An internal magnet traveler inside the column is pneumatically driven by standard facility shop air injected through the base of the cylinder. The external magnet housed within the wiping disc tracks this movement precisely, sliding outside the column without any physical mechanical linkage breaching the vessel walls.
