Conical Strainer Manufacturer India | FlowBiz Exports
Protecting mechanical equipment during plant startup, commissioning, and routine maintenance is critical to preventing foreign debris from damaging pumps, control valves, and turbines. Installing lightweight inline filtration safeguards expensive assets from construction debris, scale, and particulate contamination.
FlowBiz Exports Pvt. Ltd. is a leading conical strainer manufacturer in India, producing custom stainless steel witch's hat strainers engineered for high-efficiency temporary and permanent pipeline protection.
What is a Conical Strainer?
A conical strainer—also called a witch's hat strainer or temporary conical strainer—is a specialized inline filtration element installed between two pipe flanges during commissioning or maintenance cycles.
Its conical shape provides a large surface area for capturing rust, welding slag, scale, and foreign solids without causing excessive pressure drop across the pipeline. Once the system is thoroughly flushed and cleaned, the strainer can be removed or retained for continuous line protection.
Key Technical Specifications & Features
FlowBiz conical strainers are precision-built to deliver structural stability and high open area filtration ratios:
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Fabricated using high-grade SS 304 or SS 316 mesh backed by perforated stainless steel support sheet for structural integrity under high differential pressure.
- High Open Area Ratio: Designed with a filtration area up to 150% to 300% of the pipe's cross-sectional area to minimize flow restriction.
- Flange Ring Fitting: Standardized ring handle fits sandwich-style between standard ANSI, DIN, or BS pipe flanges for quick insertion and removal.
- Flexible Orientation: Suitable for installation with the cone pointing upstream (to accumulate debris inside the cone) or downstream (to accumulate debris outside), depending on process flushing preferences.
- Custom Mesh Ratings: Available in fine wire mesh options ranging from coarse perfs down to 100+ mesh fine retention.
Industrial Applications
FlowBiz conical strainers are widely used in plant pre-commissioning, flushing, and ongoing filtration across major industries:
- Oil & Gas Refineries: Protecting pumps, compressors, and meters during initial pipeline flushing.
- Power Generation Plants: Catching debris in boiler feed water, steam, and condenser lines.
- Chemical & Petrochemical Facilities: Filtering raw chemical feedstocks, process liquids, and solvent lines.
- Water Treatment & Desalination: Screening coarse solids and pipe scale during startup phases.
