High-Volume Submerged Mesh Intake & Debris Sifting System
Built for mission-critical water drafting and continuous wildfire suppression operations.
The Critical Bottleneck in Emergency Water Drafting
Debris & Silt Ingestion: Open-source water bodies (rivers, oceans, bay water, retention ponds, lakes, agricultural basins) contain heavy silt, weeds, and floating debris that clog pump impellers.
Costly Pump Downtime: Standard strainers choke quickly, forcing operators to shut down transfers to clear intake blockages during critical attack phases.
Shallow Water Inefficiency: Conventional float strainers create vortexing and draw air or bottom muck when water levels drop.
Limited Intake Throughput: Most field-rigged strainers restrict flow rates, drastically slowing turnaround times for water tender replenishment.
The Lenilu Water Basket (Main Cage Architecture)
Heavy-Duty Protective Enclosure: Rigid structural cage designed to rest securely on basin beds or banks without sinking into mud or shifting.
Multi-Stage Debris Sifting: Integrated perimeter mesh screen and slide-in filter panels stop weeds, gravel, and organic debris before they reach suction lines.
Dual Multi-Port Manifold: Twin bottom suction ports with dual-hose direct hookups for maximum volumetric throughput.
Top Lifting & Rigging Points: Four heavy-duty forged hoist loops allow rapid crane, backhoe, or winch placement and retrieval.
