BENEFITS OF USING OUR STRAINERS

AUSTRALIAN DESIGN AND MADE

THE 2″ PIT STRAINER
4.8MM & 10MM HOLE

The Mountain Road Strainer Co. PIT STRAINER is designed to clear debris off the strainers cage as it pulls water through it. The pumps exhaust air is pushed through an internal coiled pipe with deliberately placed holes along it. The air exhausts through these holes which, in turn, pushes the debris off the strainer to keep it clear.

The strainers shape allows for it to be used in many different environments. It will have no issues being dropped into an auger hole or into a sump. It can also be used for large roadway water make. We consider this strainer to very much be an all rounder.

MORE EFFECTIVE LABOUR USE

The Self Clearing Strainers are designed to continue the pumping process even when there isn’t anyone physically manning the pump and strainer. The self-cleaning component of our strainers allows the operator to turn on the pump, ensure the pump is running, and walk away having confidence that the strainer will remain clear and the pump will keep on pumping. This allows labour to be utilised more effectively around a coal mine as there is no time wasted manning pumps and manually clearing strainer.

SAFER AND BETTER ROADWAYS

Using our strainers will result in a reduction of water make on your roadways creating a safer roadway. Less water will result in less potholes, so less possibility of injury to operators or damage to equipment.

Less roadway damage allows for better quality of travel on roadways and this achieves a faster, easier drive in and out of the mine. Getting operators from the surface to their job site and vice versa as quickly and safely as possible allows for optimal time on production.

The better the roadways the less need for roadway maintenance, therefore you are saving on material cost and labour cost.

SIMPLE

Our strainers are designed to be simple to install and operate. With the correct fittings and hoses the set up time is minimal allowing your time to be more effectively utilised.

“Our strainer has well and truly paid for itself within its first month of use. We’ve got our strainer set up with water connected to the air inlet in a heavily silting sump and the results are amazing. We are not only saving on labour costs by having the Self-Clearing Strainer, but the peace of mind that it can’t run dry with the water inlet constantly on is priceless. Definitely recommend and would purchase again!”

Springvale Colliery in the Western mining fields of NSW could certainly take the award for being one of the wettest coal mines in the industry.
From the initial introduction of Mountain Road’s Strainers to our operations, the process has been faultless.
Feedback from the coal face to the Outbye Services Team, “these Strainers really work!”.
You can appreciate the conditions we work in here at Springvale, that when something works as well as the sales pitch behind it, it is a genuine industry game changer.
And to add to that, both Tyler & Andy deliver a service as efficient as their Strainers.

“Before the Mountain Road Pit Strainer was installed, we constantly had to remove strainers in our wash down bay and clean them out. Now we rarely have to attend to the strainer even after heavy silting from washing down machines.”

“Metropolitan Colliery has been using Mountain Road Strainer Co. products for over a year now. I have found their products to be of good quality and are fit for purpose. I have worked with Andy and Tyler over this time and have found them both obliging and knowledgeable of their products and willing to listen to our needs. At Metropolitan Colliery we mainly use their Pit Strainers and find they are simple and easy to set up and use. The Pit Strainer is used in everything from sumps, auger holes and swillies and performs well in all situations. I am confident in recommending their products to anyone.”
