Start-up strainers – Temporary and permanent protection for pipes & fittings

Our start-up strainers, conical strainers and plug?in strainers reliably protect pipelines, pumps, containers and fittings from solids – especially in the critical start-up phase of industrial plants or after maintenance work. Together with Industriefabrik Schneider GmbH, we manufacture individual stainless steel strainer inserts, precisely matched to the medium, filter type and process requirements. As a valve manufacturer, we can also supply the appropriate valves on request and undertake modifications for your complete system.

Start-up strainers & plug?in sieves – Temporary and permanent protection for pipelines

Start-up screens and plug?in sieves reliably protect pipelines, pumps and fittings from solids – especially during the critical start-up phase of industrial plants or after maintenance work. They are individually made to measure and can be flexibly integrated into existing systems.
Thanks to their robust design and variable mesh sizes, start-up strainers and plug?in sieves are suitable for numerous applications in industry, chemicals, energy, water technology and food production.


As a fittings factory, we supply these components as individual products or as a complete system – modified, automated or with matching fittings on request.
