What is a Conical Type Strainer?

A Conical Type Strainer is a filtration device designed to remove solid particles and debris from liquids or gases in a pipeline. The strainer features a conical-shaped body, which allows for efficient filtration and debris collection. The conical shape helps to increase the surface area for trapping contaminants, ensuring that the system remains free of foreign particles that could damage equipment or disrupt system performance.

The Conical Type Strainer is typically installed in the pipeline at a strategic point, where it can filter out unwanted solids before they reach sensitive equipment. The collected debris is stored in the strainer, and the filtered liquid or gas continues downstream.


Key Features of Pitambara Engineering Conical Type Strainer

  1. Efficient Filtration:
    • The Conical Type Strainer provides superior filtration, effectively trapping large particles, dirt, debris, and other contaminants, ensuring that only clean fluid continues through the system.
  2. High Flow Capacity:
    • The conical design increases the surface area available for filtration, allowing for higher flow rates without compromising filtration efficiency. This makes it ideal for systems with high-flow requirements.
  3. Durable Construction:
    • Manufactured using high-quality materials such as stainless steel or carbon steel, the strainer is built to withstand harsh environments, high pressures, and extreme temperatures, ensuring long-lasting performance.
  4. Compact and Space-Saving Design:
    • The conical design of the strainer is compact, making it suitable for installation in tight spaces or areas where other types of strainers may not fit.
  5. Easy Maintenance:
    • The design allows for quick and easy cleaning or replacement of the strainer element. The conical shape ensures that debris is collected at the bottom, making it easy to remove and clean the strainer when necessary.
  6. Versatile Applications:
    • The Conical Type Strainer is available in various sizes, materials, and mesh options, making it adaptable for use in a wide range of industries, including oil & gas, water treatment, chemical, and power generation.
  7. Corrosion Resistance:
    • The use of corrosion-resistant materials ensures that the strainer can withstand exposure to aggressive chemicals, high temperatures, and other harsh operating conditions.

How Pitambara Engineering Conical Type Strainer Works

The Conical Type Strainer is installed into a pipeline, typically before pumps, valves, or other sensitive equipment. As the liquid or gas flows through the pipeline, it enters the strainer body, where the flow is directed into the conical-shaped chamber.

The debris and contaminants in the flow are trapped by the filter mesh or perforated surface inside the strainer, which is designed to accommodate a high volume of solids. The clean fluid then passes through the strainer and continues downstream, while the collected particles accumulate at the bottom of the conical chamber.

When the strainer becomes clogged with debris, the basket or filter element can be easily removed for cleaning, reinstalled, and put back into service. This simple maintenance process minimizes downtime and ensures that the system remains operational with minimal interruption.


Applications of Pitambara Engineering Conical Type Strainer

  1. Water Treatment:
    • In water filtration systems, the Conical Type Strainer is used to remove large solids and particles from water before it undergoes further treatment or distribution.
  2. Oil and Gas Industry:
    • Protects pumps, valves, and other equipment in pipelines and processing plants by removing contaminants such as sand, scale, and debris from the oil and gas flow.
  3. Chemical Processing:
    • Ensures that chemicals are free from contaminants, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of chemical reactions and preventing equipment failure in processing plants.
  4. Power Generation:
    • In power plants, conical strainers are used to filter water and other fluids that are used in turbines, boilers, and cooling systems, preventing contamination and ensuring efficient operation.
  5. HVAC Systems:
    • Used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to filter out particulates from air or water, ensuring that HVAC systems run efficiently and effectively.
  6. Food and Beverage Processing:
    • Filters out contaminants from liquids used in food processing, ensuring that the final products meet hygiene and safety standards.
  7. Pharmaceutical Manufacturing:
    • Ensures the filtration of fluids used in pharmaceutical production, maintaining the purity and quality of the products being manufactured.

Advantages of Pitambara Engineering Conical Type Strainer

  1. Protects Equipment:
    • By removing harmful contaminants from the fluid stream, the Conical Type Strainer prevents damage to sensitive equipment such as pumps, valves, and instruments, leading to lower maintenance costs and fewer system failures.
  2. Increased System Efficiency:
    • Ensuring clean fluid flow throughout the system helps maintain optimal pressure, flow rates, and overall system efficiency, reducing the need for costly repairs or replacements.
  3. Long-Lasting Durability:
    • The robust construction ensures that the strainer can handle high pressures, temperatures, and aggressive fluids, providing reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
  4. Cost-Effective:
    • The easy maintenance and long service life of the Conical Type Strainer make it a cost-effective solution for filtration, reducing downtime and operational costs.
  5. Compact and Easy to Install:
    • The compact design makes the strainer easy to install, even in space-constrained areas, without compromising performance.
  6. Improved Flow Control:
    • The efficient design of the conical strainer ensures that the flow rate is not significantly reduced while maintaining high levels of filtration efficiency.

  • Precautions for installation
  • Applications
  • Features
  • During installation, tank shuld be completely empty.
  • There should be no objects which shall hinder the float.
  • Ensure that the float position inside the tank should be such that agitation on it will be minimum.
  • The position of mounting nozzle should be far away from the liquid fill pipe to protect the float from damage and faulty readings due to turbulence.
  • Ensure that tank structures / fittings do not come in the way of calibrated gauges boards
  • Instruments required- Welding machine, combination/crimping plier, spanner and adjustable.
  • Even with large changes in liquid density, the immersion of a large diameter float will change very little, thus density has little effect on accuracy.
  • Float systems are simple and easily understood.
  • Even if the primary requirement is the transmitted signal, local indicators can continue to operate, even on loss of power.
