Protecting the pump is an integral step in ensuring system longevity. Installing a suction strainer will stop the larger pieces of unwanted debris from entering the suction line causing catastrophic problems downstream. Our Magnetic Suction Separators offer unique protection for pumps suction line from all sizes of ferrous particles without starving the pump.

The standard outer screen has adequate open area (.079 inch diameter perforations) to eliminate the possibility of pump starvation. All models are also available with a pleated 20 mesh screen (850 micron) by adding SS20 to the model number. (Example SKB-1-SS20.)
Please note that we also offer in-line filter housings equipped with SKB elements. See In-Line Magnetic Suction Separators and Tank-Mounted Magnetic Suction Separators for details.
