Wondering what type or size of strainer is needed to keep up with the larger extractors. Say the 9 frame or 18 frame radial. Seems we some times overwhelm a strainer with the club's 3 frame tangital.

I use multiple strainers set up on clean buckets, and when one gets full, I switch them out:).
I run it straight into a five gallon bucket with no strainer. When the bucket is full I dump it into a double bucket strainer. I have several double bucket strainers going at the same time.
I run mine through the largest (600 U?) from the Dadant set.
What is a "double bucket strainer?"Quote:

You can also buy them from Brushy Mt., but they are easy enough to make.
