Strainer

Refer to Figure 20
A Banjo brand strainer is supplied with the ground drive
fertilizer pump. It is plumbed before the Hypro pump. The
standard 80 mesh screen

should be suitable for most

applications. Other screen sizes are available from Banjo
Corporation.

Agricultural Chemical Hazard:
Wear protective gloves when changing screens. Consult
material manufacturer or supplier documents for proper
handling and steps to take if skin contact occurs.

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)
