Projects are revised
Changed line sizes, materials and piping layouts can leave purchased strainers outside the final installation scope.
Surplus industrial pipeline & process equipment
Sell surplus industrial strainers.
Move idle inventory forward.
Unused project equipment. Duplicate maintenance spares. Strainers for a process line that has been retired. We work with companies looking to sell excess industrial strainers.

How surplus develops
The piping requirement changes.
The spare equipment often remains.
Industrial strainers help separate solid debris from a flowing process stream. They are selected for particular media, connections and operating requirements. When a system is redesigned or retired, stock purchased for the original installation can become surplus.
Processes are upgraded
Replaced pumps, cooling systems and utility equipment can release strainers and dedicated spares no longer needed.
Stocking is consolidated
Duplicate orders, changed spare policies and facility closures can reveal more process inventory than operations require.
Confirm with maintenance and process engineering which units remain required for active systems, planned work or internal redeployment before releasing stock.
Identify what you have
Industrial strainer inventory worth discussing.
We welcome inquiries about complete strainers, identifiable housings and related spare stock. Exact model, materials, screen details and condition establish the starting point.
Y-strainers
Y-pattern pipeline strainers. Include model, connection size and type, body material and supplied screen information.
Simplex basket strainers
Single-basket units held for process or utility systems. Identify the housing, basket, cover arrangement and any missing components.
Duplex basket strainers
Assemblies with paired straining chambers and a changeover arrangement. Record the complete configuration and condition of valves or operating mechanisms.
Temporary cone & basket strainers
Startup or temporary devices identified for a specific installation. Include dimensions, support arrangement and available drawings.
Automatic & self-cleaning units
Identified systems with cleaning mechanisms or controls. List drives, actuators, controllers and accessories separately.
Baskets, screens & accessories
Replacement internals, covers, seals and related stock. Record part numbers and known matching housings without assuming compatibility.
Recognizable names. Specific configurations.
Start with the manufacturer.
Keep the complete equipment identity.
Common names found on industrial strainer inventory include the manufacturers and product families below. Other brands, legacy units and documented custom equipment are welcome in an inquiry.
Eaton · Hayward · Keckley · Mueller Steam Specialty · Spirax Sarco · Armstrong · Titan Flow Control · Sure Flow Equipment
Brand names identify equipment only. Strainers Depot does not claim manufacturer authorization, endorsement or affiliation.
Connection size does not identify the screen.
Similar housings can contain different baskets, perforations, mesh liners and materials. Capture body and internal component details separately.
- Manufacturer, full model and serial number
- Connection size, type and marked ratings
- Body and screen materials where documented
- Mesh or perforation details and units
- Supplied covers, baskets, seals and accessories
Condition and history matter
Separate unused spares from removed equipment.
New stock, stored unused units, used strainers and repaired equipment should be described separately. Share original service, known media exposure, storage conditions and available records.
Disclose corrosion, leaks, damaged connections, cracked covers, deformed screens, missing baskets, modifications and other known faults. A clean exterior does not establish pressure integrity.
Identify process residue or cleaning concerns before discussing shipment. Keep internal components and documentation associated with the correct housing.
Keep ratings in context
Body ratings and screen limits are different.
Document allowable operating conditions and any screen differential-pressure limits separately. Do not infer pressure capability solely from connection drilling or a familiar body shape.
Mesh count and perforation diameter are different descriptions. Preserve the manufacturer’s actual designation rather than converting either into an assumed filtration performance claim.
Define the complete assembly.
For duplex or automatic units, list changeover components, drives, controls and cleaning equipment. State what is included and what has been removed.
Application suitability and any testing, isolation or removal should be evaluated by qualified personnel using the manufacturer’s information and complete process requirements.
From excess inventory to an inquiry
Start with the equipment details you have.
An existing list, partial stock export or readable photos can establish the starting point. State what has been counted, identified or tested.
Confirm genuine surplus
Check active systems and spare requirements. Select strainers no longer needed for current service or planned internal use.
Define the lot
Group by model and size, count quantities and note condition. Identify complete units, empty housings and separate internals clearly.
Discuss selling the equipment
Share details, location and timing. Inventory fit, commercial terms, inspection needs and removal or transport responsibilities are confirmed for the specific stock.
Value and logistics belong together
Look beyond the original purchase price.
Potential resale value depends on identification, configuration, size, condition, completeness and demand. A recognized brand or high original investment does not guarantee an offer.
Explain handling requirements early.
For larger assemblies, share dimensions, known weights, installation status and access constraints. Identify any residue or special handling concerns.
Agree on disconnection, cleaning, packing, loading and transport responsibilities before work begins. Retain labels and protect machined connections during storage.
Common questions
Selling surplus industrial strainers
Can I inquire about used strainers?
Yes. Describe prior service, media exposure, known faults and cleaning status. Include photos and available records. Used or untested condition needs to be considered during review.
Can I submit empty housings or spare screens?
Yes. Identify them separately and state what is missing. Include full part codes and known matching equipment where documented.
What if mesh or material details are unknown?
Start with readable markings and overall photos. Share original records where available and state which specifications are unknown rather than guessing.
Can I include duplex or automatic assemblies?
Yes. Describe the complete system and list operating mechanisms, drives, controls and cleaning components. Disclose missing or faulty parts.
What if the equipment remains installed?
Explain operating and connection status, location and removal timing. Inspection, isolation and removal arrangements need to be reviewed before a transaction is finalized.
Is there a minimum quantity or guaranteed purchase?
Share the equipment you have. Whether a transaction makes sense depends on the units, quantities, condition and logistics. Any offer or commercial arrangement is confirmed after review.
Put idle process equipment on the agenda
Have industrial strainers your company no longer needs?
Unused project stock, duplicate spares or complete assemblies — start with the details you have.
