TECHNICAL DATA
WHAT ARE PP STRAINERS, LATERALS, EJECTORS & PP BALLS?
Systems for chemical processing and industrial filtration depend on more than just pipelines, tanks, and pumps. Specialized polypropylene parts found inside these systems regulate fluid distribution, increase filtration effectiveness, lower maintenance costs, and guaranty smooth operation. While each part plays a distinct role, taken as a whole, they support uniform process performance in chemical industries, water treatment facilities, electroplating units, and process equipment.
When polypropylene is exposed to moisture, chemicals, or process water, it does not rust, scale, or corrode like traditional metallic components do. Because of this, PP components are a sensible option for businesses trying to reduce maintenance while increasing equipment longevity. Additionally, polypropylene has good mechanical strength, which makes it appropriate for continuous industrial use in a variety of handling and filtration systems.
PP Strainers
PP strainers are filtration elements found in demineralization systems, softeners, activated carbon filters, and pressure sand filters. Collecting filtered water while keeping filter media out of the outlet pipeline is their main job. Precision slotted apertures enhance filtration and backwash performance by allowing water to flow thru effectively while holding onto the filtration media. The strainers made by Plastic Fabricators have a 0.2 mm slit size and are suitable for a number of filtration uses.
PP Laterals
The distribution network inside filtration vessels is made up of PP laterals. They guarantee uniform water collection and distribution throughout the filter bed by being connected to a central header. Uniform filtration, effective backwashing, and improved filter media utilization are all facilitated by proper lateral design. Water treatment facilities, activated carbon filters, and pressure sand filters frequently employ header-lateral systems.
PP Ejectors
Chemicals or process fluids can be transferred or mixed without the need for moving mechanical parts thanks to PP ejectors, which use the Venturi principle to create suction using flowing liquid. PP ejectors are frequently utilized in chemical dosing systems, acid transfer applications, and industrial process plants where metallic ejectors might have a shorter service life because polypropylene is resistant to many corrosive chemicals.
PP Balls
PP balls are hollow floating balls made of virgin polypropylene that are frequently utilized in chemical process vessels, pickling tanks, and electroplating tanks. They minimize heat loss, suppress fumes, lower evaporation, and increase energy efficiency by floating on the liquid’s surface. They offer a straightforward but efficient way to safeguard process liquids while reducing operating expenses because they are lightweight and chemically resistant.
WHY INDUSTRIES CHOOSE POLYPROPYLENE COMPONENTS
COMPLETE PRODUCT RANGE
TYPES OF PRODUCT
Every filtration and process system has different operating requirements, which is why no single polypropylene component can perform every function. PP strainers, laterals, ejectors, and floating balls are designed for different stages of filtration, distribution, fluid handling, and process efficiency.
At Plastic Fabricators, each product is manufactured using quality polypropylene to provide corrosion resistance, good mechanical strength, and dependable performance in demanding industrial environments. Whether you’re designing a new filtration plant or replacing worn-out internal components, our products are built to integrate with a wide range of industrial systems.
PP STRAINERS
Description
In any pressure filter, the strainer safeguards the entire system while the filter media cleans. A poorly constructed strainer can increase maintenance costs, decrease filtration efficiency, and let media escape. Because of this, PP strainers are a crucial part of demineralisation plants, softener vessels, activated carbon filters, and pressure sand filters.
Polypropylene strainers with precisely slotted apertures that let filtered water pass while holding onto the filter media are made by Plastic Fabricators. Consistent flow distribution, effective backwashing, and enhanced filtration performance are all made possible by the 0.2 mm slit design. These strainers, which are made of corrosion-resistant polypropylene, are appropriate for water treatment applications where long-term durability is crucial, such as drinking water systems, with plain white background

PP EJECTORS
Description
Chemicals must be precisely mixed, transferred, or dosed in many industrial processes. The Venturi principle, in which flowing liquid creates suction to draw another fluid into the system, is how PP ejectors accomplish this. Ejectors provide a straightforward, dependable, and low-maintenance solution because they don’t have any moving mechanical parts.
PP ejectors, which are made of polypropylene, offer exceptional resistance to a wide range of corrosive chemicals, which makes them appropriate for applications involving chemical dosing, acid transfer, scrubber systems, and water treatment where corrosion may affect metallic components.
In addition to requiring less maintenance, their simple design ensures dependable performance in continuous-duty industrial settings.

PP LATERALS
Description
A filtration system’s water distribution determines how effective it is. Water must be collected and distributed uniformly throughout the filter bed by PP laterals. Channeling, decreased media usage, and decreased filtration efficiency can all result from uneven flow.
Our polypropylene laterals are made to function as a header-lateral assembly, guaranteeing balanced flow throughout backwash and service cycles. They are made of polypropylene, which provides outstanding resistance to scale formation and corrosion while preserving structural integrity over time.
PP laterals help maintain consistent filtration performance and lower maintenance requirements whether they are installed in softener vessels, activated carbon filters, or pressure sand filters.

APPLICATIONS BY INDUSTRY
WHY POLYPROPYLENE PERFORMS BETTER IN CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENTS ?
Moisture, chemicals, acids, alkalis, and process water are all commonplace in many industrial facilities. When exposed to these circumstances, metallic components may progressively corrode, impairing performance and raising maintenance needs.
Polypropylene exhibits distinct behavior. The material itself offers corrosion resistance rather than depending on protective coatings. Because of this, PP components can continue to function in applications like chemical processing, water treatment, electroplating, and effluent treatment without the constant maintenance that metal parts typically require. Polypropylene doesn’t need to be repainted or treated for corrosion because it doesn’t rust. To keep components functioning effectively, routine cleaning and inspection are usually sufficient.
Water distribution must be uniform in filtration systems. Consistent flow across the filter bed is maintained by well-designed strainers and laterals, which enhances media utilisation and facilitates effective backwashing.
Selecting the appropriate internal parts involves more than just the initial purchase. Over the course of the filtration system’s lifetime, lower maintenance, a longer service life, and dependable operation all contribute to a lower total cost of ownership.
