TATE
ANDALE simplex strainers offer a rugged reliability and a level
of versatility unmatched in the industry. From basic cast iron with bank
vault quality to truly customizable fabrications, there are options available
to meet any operational need as well as fit any budgetary need.
Single basket strainers are used for batch operations where the liquid flow may be interrupted periodically for cleaning. They are generally recommended for intermittent service such as fluid system start-ups, emergency protection and light duty where the amount of foreign debris is small.
Simplex strainers cost far less to operate than Y strainers. Typically, simplex strainers have been designed with open area or straining ratios of at least 6:1. On the other hand, Y strainers usually have a 2:1 straining ratio. This means the basket in a Y strainer will fill at least three times as quickly as a simplex strainer, making it three times more costly to operate than a simplex strainer.
When you factor in the outstanding longevity of simplex strainers achieved by their heavy duty designs, plus their ease of operation and maintenance, the total cost of owning and operating these strainers over their lifetime (life cycle cost) is the lowest in the industry. If you want a single basket strainer that's still operating after all others have failed, you want a TATE ANDALE simplex.

Typical Applications
- Batch type operations
- Installations with small amounts of debris
- Emergency protection
Why Choose a Simplex over a Y strainer?
"Y" type strainers typically have 2 or 2½ to 1 straining ratios. Simplex strainers on the other hand, usually have a 6 to 1 or better.
What does this mean to the operator?
If the operator cleans the "Y" strainer once per shift, he would only need to clean the Simplex once a day. If he cleans the "Y" type once a day, he would only need to clean the Simplex once every 3 days.
