Strainer
Refer to Figure 14
A Banjo brand strainer is supplied with the ground drive
fertilizer pump. It is plumbed before the pump. The
standard 80 mesh screen
should be suitable for most
applications. Other screen sizes are available from Banjo
Corporation.
Wear protective gloves when changing screens.
If changing screen sizes, keep in mind the following.
• A smaller mesh (100) will keep very small manifold
orifice plates from plugging so often. However, the
screen will have to be cleaned more often.
• A larger mesh (50) or (30) will pass more material but
should only be considered when using large manifold
orifice plates.
• A plugged or partially plugged screen will starve the
pump resulting in a reduced application rate.
• Mesh sizes: (Smallest) 100, 80, 50, 30 (Largest)
