A Conical Type Strainer, commonly known as a Temporary Cone Strainer or Cone Filter, is a filtration device designed to remove debris, weld slag, scale, rust, and other unwanted particles from pipelines during system start-up, commissioning, and maintenance operations. Its cone-shaped design provides a large filtration area while maintaining efficient flow characteristics and minimal pressure drop.
Conical Type Strainers are widely used in industries such as oil & gas, petrochemicals, power generation, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, and process plants. Installed between pipe flanges, these strainers protect pumps, valves, flow meters, compressors, turbines, and other critical equipment from damage caused by foreign particles during initial plant operation.
Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel and other corrosion-resistant materials, Conical Type Strainers offer reliable filtration performance and can be customized to meet specific process requirements.
