Strainer spare parts
A clogged screen, a brittle gasket, a deformed basket – the unit itself is fine, only its internals are not. For this we manufacture replacement screens and spare parts – for our own units as well as for other makes.
This is needed more often than it should be. After a few years, some manufacturers no longer supply elements, and replacing the entire strainer is being considered – although the housing is in perfect condition. We replicate the wear part, to size or to sample: from the replacement strainer basket and the strainer element for the Y strainer to the gasket.
What is replaced
The strainer housing itself rarely breaks. What gets replaced are the parts that do the work.
The most requested part. Clogged, torn or simply too coarse for a new task – we manufacture to size, in any mesh size.
Strainer baskets for basket-type strainers →
The perforated plate support basket as an exchange strainer basket, with or without fine mesh screen. Also for discontinued ranges for which nothing else is available.
Cover and flange gaskets, spiral wound and kammprofile gaskets. Made to the groove dimensions if the standard size does not fit.
Strainer elements for strainers from other manufacturers. The dimensions of the old part are enough – we do not need a nameplate.
Replacements for other makes →Other makes
It happens regularly: a strainer has been running for twenty years, the housing is in perfect condition – but replacement screens can no longer be obtained. Then the question arises whether the entire valve has to be replaced.
Usually it does not. We replicate strainer elements for strainers of other makes – same dimensions, same fit, mesh size to your specification. What we need for this and what a replica achieves is explained on a separate page: Replacements for other makes →
A note for transparency: we are not a contractual partner of these manufacturers and do not supply original parts. What we supply is a replica that fits.
Older ranges
For our own ranges we continue to supply spare parts, even if the unit itself has been discontinued. This applies, for example, to our previous pot type strainer series: new units are no longer available, but we still manufacture replacement baskets and screens.
Tell us the model and nominal size. If the unit comes from us, we will find the design in our records – often it is enough to tell us which strainer it is.
Enquiry
For a replacement screen we need neither a drawing nor an article number. These four dimensions are enough – take them from the old part.
The largest diameter of the screen or basket, where it rests in the housing. In millimetres, accurate to the millimetre.
From the seating edge to the bottom. For conical parts, also the diameter of the tip.
What needs to be retained. If you do not know: tell us the medium and what has been getting through so far – we will derive it from that.
Stainless steel is the standard. For aggressive media, tell us the medium and we will select the alloy.
A photo always helps. It shows us the design of the rim, an existing handle (tab) or grip and the design of the bottom. These things are not covered by four dimensions. If you can send in the old part, that is the most reliable basis.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, this is a large part of our spare parts business. We need the dimensions of the old part – outside diameter, height, mesh size, material – or the old part itself as a sample. A photo shows us the design of rim and bottom.
Then tell us the medium and what has been getting through so far. From the application and the particle size we derive a range. With a sample, we measure the mesh size ourselves.
For our own units yes, permanently. For our previous pot type strainer series, for example, there are no new units any more, but replacement baskets and screens are still available. For other makes, we replicate to sample, regardless of whether the range still exists.
The easiest way is by post, together with a short note stating which strainer it is for and how many parts you need. You will get the sample back if you still need it – please let us know.
Yes, and this is often useful. If a screen clogs too quickly, a coarser mesh size is the solution – provided that it still retains what has to be retained. We discuss this beforehand.
Gaskets, yes. Pressure gauges, ball valves and differential pressure indicators are bought-in parts – we can supply them as well if you tell us the model and connection.
Send us the outside diameter, height, mesh size and material – or a photo of the old part. For our own units, the model and nominal size are often enough.
