FLUOR-O-SHIELD™
PTFE and PVDF Strainers
Our FLUOR-O-SHIELD™ fluoroplastic strainers are well suited for use in removing suspended or waste solids from extremely corrosive or high-purity fluid streams. They help prevent damage to sensitive downstream process components such as pumps, valves, instruments, and spray nozzles. When compared with PVC, CPVC, or polypropylene units, their all fluoroplastic construction provides superior corrosion resistance, as well as a higher operating temperature range.
The screw top with handles allows easy strainer cartridge removal and clean-out. Drain-plugs allow drainage of residual liquids before cartridge removal. Teflon® FEP encapsulated o-rings seats prevent blow-by and external leakage. For maximum installation flexibility, a wide range of mesh screens and connections are available in our standard product lines. We also welcome special orders if you have unusual requirements.

For the Basket and Y-Strainers, we normally stock the subassemblies and can assemble units to your specifications in a short lead time, often in a week or less.

PTFE and PVDF Basket Strainers
 |
The high capacity of our FLUOR-O-SHIELD™ PTFE and PVDF Basket Strainers allows you to maximize up-time by stretching the time between clean-outs. Our elegantly simple design and robust construction ensure years of trouble-free service.
The slant-head PTFE cartridge minimizes head-loss. And, the easily removable cartridge can be serviced in a matter of minutes.
Both PTFE and PVDF units are available in pipe sizes up to 3”. Standard connections in PTFE include NPT and Flanges. PVDF units are also available with socket-weld connections in both metric and IPS sizes. Other connections such as Tri-Clamp are available.
Standard Tefzel ETFE screens are available in mesh sizes ranging from 160 to 11 mesh (70 to 1,800 microns). Other mesh sizes and types available on special order. Click here for our Product Specifications brochure.

PTFE and PVDF Y-Strainers
 |
Micromold’s FLUOR-O-SHIELD PVDF and PTFE Y-Strainers are a lower cost and more flexible solution when the higher capacity of a basket strainer is not needed. Installation can be vertical or horizontal and, like our basket strainers, they are designed for years of trouble-free operation in the harshest environments.
PTFE units are available in pipe sizes up to 3”, and PVDF units up to 4”. In addition to the standard flanged, NPT, and metric or IPS socket weld connections, we can provide virtually any connection (Tri-Clamp, True-Union, etc.) on special order.
Standard Tefzel® ETFE screens are available in standard mesh sizes ranging from 160 to 11 mesh (70 to 1,800 microns). Other mesh sizes and types available on special order. Click here for our Y-Strainer Product Specifications brochure.

Baffle Strainers - Great Concept!
 |
Turn any plastic lined Tee into a simple in-line strainer. We make PTFE, PVDF, and PPL baffle strainers to fit your plastic lined Tee, allowing you to quickly and easily protect pumps, valves, and other sensitive components, This is cheap insurance which comes in a wide range of pipe sizes and hole patterns available to suit the needs of your system. For high-flow conditions, we can reinforce the baffle strainer with support struts. Standard hole size is 1/4”, Other hole sizes and other configurations such as Tefzel® ETFE mesh are available.

Startup Strainers
 |
Virtually all pump manufacturers recommend that startup strainers be used for protection from construction debris. Our strainers can be configured with virtually any hole pattern or mesh, to fit just about any pipe size. They can be inserted between flanges and the handle serves as an easy signal or reminder for quick verification of installation or of removal after startup. Call us with your requirements for PTFE, PVDF, PPL or any material and size - we’d be happy to give you a quote.
