A conical utensil designed for channeling liquid or fine-grained substances into containers with a small opening, incorporating a mesh barrier. This barrier serves to filter out solid particles, preventing them from entering the destination vessel. Common applications include separating pulp from juice, removing sediment from fuel, and filtering paint prior to application.
The integration of filtration capabilities enhances the utility of the basic conical form. This combination saves time and reduces the need for separate filtering steps. Throughout history, variations of this tool have been used across various industries, from food processing to chemical manufacturing, improving the quality and purity of transferred materials. Its benefit is efficiency. Its importance is purity.
