Why Strainrite for Scientific Consultation & On-Site Support

47+ Years of Filtration Leadership

Founded in 1978, Strainrite’s heritage is closely tied to the initial development of filter bag technology. Our founder, John H. Lapoint Jr., was instrumental in conceiving, perfecting, and proliferating the original filter bag — and that pioneering spirit drives everything we do today.

Industry-Specific Expertise

From pharmaceuticals and food & beverage to oil & gas and microelectronics, our technical team understands the unique regulatory, process, and quality requirements of your industry. We serve leading coatings and ink producers worldwide and supply filtration to customers in over 40 countries.

Validated & Certified Solutions

Our products are manufactured and tested in third-party validated clean rooms under an ISO 9001-certified quality management system. We provide validation guides, bacterial retention testing, USP Class VI compliance, and LAL endotoxin documentation to help you satisfy regulatory requirements.

Custom Engineering Capabilities

Our engineering team designs custom filtration systems for special requirements, including electropolished finishes, code 7 & code 6 cartridge configurations, stainless steel systems with legs, and sterilization via hot water or in-line steam. If a standard solution doesn’t exist, we build one.

Fast Delivery & Reliable Supply

While competitors may take six months to a year to ship, Strainrite delivers faster. Our domestic manufacturing in Auburn, Maine, combined with deep inventory and efficient production processes, ensures you get the products you need when you need them.

How We Work With You

Assess & Recommend

It starts with understanding your process. Our field sales professionals conduct a comprehensive needs assessment — evaluating your filtration challenges, fluid properties, throughput requirements, and quality targets. We then recommend the optimal filter media, housing configuration, and system design to meet your goals.

Implement & Optimize

Once a solution is in place, our support doesn’t stop. We provide on-site assistance during installation, monitor performance, and work with your team to fine-tune the system. Our goal is to maximize yields, minimize filter usage, increase throughput, and reduce change-out labor — delivering measurable results over the long term.
