Kochek Company has introduced a new all-aluminum strainer with a self-leveling float system that makes drafting possible under almost any condition.

The high intake ratio allows for maximum volume flow rates, according to the company, while the vortex shield protects against whirlpooling.

Kochek said the new strainer is the lightest, most compact floating strainer on the market and is available with threaded, Storz or camlock connections in a range of sizes. With its balanced handle and light-weight design the new self-leveling strainer is easy to carry and deploy quickly. The compact design of the strainer makes for convenient storage.
