ACME – Company Profile
Acme Engineering is a manufacturing
company with three product lines:
1) Gas Detectors, 2) Heating Systems,
and 3) Automatic Strainers. Acme
possesses a wide range of custom products
to meet any industrial or commercial need.
The company was founded as a manufacturer's representative
firm in 1956 and began large-scale production of its own
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) equipment
in 1963. Our gas detection line was launched in the early 1970’s
and we have been manufacturing automatic strainers since the
mid 1980’s.
Automatic
Scraper Strainers
• The ACRS Automatic
Strainer is a motorized
unit designed for the
continuous removal of
suspended solids from
intake, process and
wastewater flows.
• Cleaning is accomplished
by a spring-loaded blade
and brush system managed
by a fully automatic
control system.

Modes of Operation
Manual Operation
• When in manual operation,
selector switches control the
motor and blowdown
operation.
Automatic Operation
• When in automatic
operation, timers within the
control panel regulate
strainer operations in
conjunction with
differential pressure
override. Relays start and
stop the motor & valve.
New FRP Strainers
Advantages in using FRP Strainers
(i) More cost effective than an all metal construction
(ii) Extremely resistant to corrosive environments
(iii) High impact solids resistance
(iv) High-strength and high-performance design
(v) Versatile and enduring construction
