Value

Know what your exchanger is really worth

The materials in your exchanger drive its resale value. A titanium, cupro-nickel, or stainless unit can be worth far more reused than recycled.

MaterialWhy it matters for resale value
Carbon steelthe most common shell/tube material; lowest scrap value but highest resale demand for standard process duty
304 stainless steelcorrosion resistant, widely reused in food, dairy and chemical service
316 / 316L stainless steelmolybdenum-bearing grade for chloride and marine service; strong resale value
Copperfound in tube bundles and HVAC coils; high recovery value
Admiralty brassclassic condenser tube alloy; valued for both scrap and reuse
Cupro-nickel (90/10 & 70/30)seawater and brackish-water service; premium resale and scrap
Titaniumused in aggressive chloride, seawater and chemical duty; the highest-value exchanger material

Answers for sellers

Frequently asked questions

Do you really buy used heat exchangers in any condition?

Yes. We buy working, idle, surplus, decommissioned, damaged, and even scrap-grade heat exchangers. Condition affects the offer, but we make offers on virtually every unit. Send photos and the nameplate, or call 951-403-5738.

How fast can I get a cash offer?

Most sellers receive an offer within 24 hours of sending photos and the nameplate data. For full lots or plant decommissioning, we can schedule a same-week site visit. Call 951-403-5738 to start.

Who pays for rigging, removal, and freight?

We do. On accepted offers we arrange and pay for rigging, loading, and freight nationwide. You do not pay out of pocket to sell your equipment to us.

When do I get paid?

We pay 100% upfront on accepted offers — funds are arranged before pickup, not after resale. We can pay by wire, check, or ACH.

What information do you need to make an offer?

The nameplate (manufacturer, model, surface area, design pressure/temperature, materials), overall dimensions, quantity, and a few photos. If you have the U-1 form or original data sheet, even better.
