The design of TATE ANDALE’S duplex strainers are uncompromised by an accountant’s pencil. When evaluating duplex strainers, the consideration should be focused on both performance and the total cost of owning and operating a strainer, known as life cycle costs. The thick, heavy body walls provide unparalleled corrosion allowance. The straining ratios are the highest available.

TATE ANDALE’S moving parts are designed to minimize wear. Available wedgewire baskets are the most durable straining elements on the market. All of this adds up to produce the longest lived, most cost efficient, high performance strainers available. Spreading the cost of a TATE ANDALE twin basket strainer over a life expectancy measured in decades, not years,demonstrates a TATE ANDALE strainer is the lowest cost; proving that competing strainers cost more long-term.

The high straining ratios, aside from the performance benefits, contribute lower operating costs because the baskets do not need to be cleaned as often. In analyzing the life cycle costs of TATE ANDALE strainers versus the competition,our designs provide the lowest life cycle costs in the industry.

Typical Applications

• Process/continuous flow
• Large amounts of debris

Duplex units are recommended for continuous operations, and where heavy duty straining is required. A diverter valve switches the flow from one basket to the other, permitting removal of the out-of-service basket for cleaning.
