Typically consisting of a single filter element, a housing, and a cover, our simplex strainers and filters are our most basic design. They are suitable for batch, start-up, or emergency operations. If interruption of the process flow is permissible, then a simplex will be the most cost-effective solution.
Our build to order simplex strainers and filters are available in a number of different materials of construction including iron, steel, stainless steel, bronze, aluminum, and various high nickel alloys.
We usually recommend the straining media to be one half the diameter of the component that requires protection from debris. For example, 1/4’’ tubes in a heat exchanger should be protected by a strainer basket with 1/8’’ perforation. Oversizing the straining media could allow debris to foul critical equipment, while under-sizing the straining media could cause the strainer basket to clog with excessive frequency.
Available Models and Configurations
Tate Andale offers multiple single basket strainer models designed for different system demands.
Custom Build and Engineering Support
Each industrial single basket strainer can be configured based on project requirements. Engineering support is available to align design parameters with system conditions, including flow rate, pressure class, and fluid type.
Customization options include basket sizing, material selection, and nozzle orientation to support direct installation into existing piping layouts.
Key Benefits for Commercial and Industrial Use
Industrial and commercial operators use single basket strainers to maintain consistent system performance while reducing equipment wear caused by debris.
Key benefits include:
- Protection of critical downstream equipment from particulate damage
- Reduced maintenance requirements on pumps and mechanical systems
- Stable system operation in batch or intermittent flow processes
- Flexibility in basket sizing to match debris load conditions
- Compatibility with a wide range of fluids, including water, oils, and chemical solutions
These strainers are commonly selected for facilities where shutdown-based cleaning fits within operational schedules.
Pressure Ratings and Operating Capability
Tate Andale single basket strainers are manufactured to handle a wide range of industrial pressures, typically including 150, 300, 600, 900, and 1500 PSI configurations depending on model selection.
Each unit is built for continuous service in industrial environments where flow consistency and pressure stability are required.
Applications Across Industries
Industrial single basket strainers are used across multiple sectors, including:
- Power generation facilities
- Petrochemical and refining operations
- Manufacturing and process plants
- Mining and mineral processing systems
- Water and wastewater treatment facilities
- Commercial HVAC and building systems
In commercial environments, these strainers support fluid systems that require protection from particulate buildup without complex filtration setups.
