Spencer Strainers, Made In America
Spencer Strainer Systems was founded in 1995 as a division of Spencer Machine & Tool Company in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Glenn Spencer developed a permanent, self-cleaning, stainless steel filter/strainer for a local toothpaste manufacturer, who was tired of the waste and labor costs associated with disposable filter media, and static screens.
The company went on to find other applications to meet, saving many clients material and labor costs with this permanent solution. Today, Spencer Strainer Systems are found worldwide in a vast range of applications. The systems are manufactured in the company’s sole facility, in Jeffersonville, Indiana. These units remove particles from a liquid flow.
“Outside-In” Filtration
Spencer Strainers achieve success in difficult applications, due to the design, which introduces product to be filtered on the outside of a rotating screen. Stationary wipers clean the screen continuously, enabling constant operation.
This design is particularly effective in high-viscosity applications. It also allows internal reinforcement of screens, if necessary, to prevent deformation.
Materials of Construction
All Spencer Strainers are constructed of type 316L stainless steel. Other materials such as wipers and bushings, are tailored to the application and include Teflon, Delrin, Peek, Bronze, and Titanium. Durability is achieved through selection of the materials.
Prompt Lead Times
Spencer Strainer Systems clients enjoy industry-leading production windows, for the equipment itself, and replacement parts. Because of an extensive parts inventory, many parts can be shipped the same day, if ordered by noon Eastern Time.
