I've been looking for a quality suction screen for years. I have tried a number of plastic and metal contraptions and haven't been happy with anything. This puppy had some nice specs, so I thought I'd give 'er a try. It is very stout, but unfortunately it won't fit into a cubie as it's 3" wide. I need the ability draw oil from a cubie. These are also too tall(6") for cubies or shallow containers. What this screen did work well for was drawing oil from my large holding tank and into my centrifuge tank. I would use that for this purpose, but mount on a 90* elbow so cylinder is horizontal. I would like these to be slightly shorter, so you can skim the good oil from the top of a holding vessel.
For behind restaurant collection, I would recommend these, but choose a model with larger size holes. Heavy fats and PHO will clog this too quickly. Different style wvo suction strainers are available at Utah Biodiesel Supply.
Does anyone else have a suction screen they could recommend for drawing from cubies?
