Kerr Pump & Supply is the exclusive HELLAN® Strainers distributor for the municipal industry in the state of Michigan. Hellan is a leader in Automatic Cleaning Strainers, offering the most efficient inline cleanable strainer solutions on the market.
The Hellan Strainer Company manufactures a variety of manual and automatic self-cleaning strainers that allow for on-line screen cleaning. They are extremely popular due to their reliability, efficient operation and cost savings. Hellan Strainers remove all types of solids (such as algae, zebra mussels, sand, grit, debris, machine cutting chips, etc.) from various fluids.
Hellan Strainer’s patented self-cleaning system reduces downtime and saves your company money. Hellan’s unique patented design with integral scraper brush and outside to in flow through the screen performs well in algae related applications. They are certified NSF 61 compliant.
Instead of trapping solids like conventional basket strainers (which necessitate frequent basket removal for cleaning), the Hellan Strainer discharges solids from the flow without disassembly. This reduces operational and maintenance costs and permits continuous flow of fluids.
Kerr offers Hellan Strainer parts and an extensive service department that can assist with any strainer repair that is needed. Our service technicians are fully insured, certified and factory trained to ensure your satisfaction. Kerr also supplies a wide range of pump accessories including filtration for pumps.
