Titan Flow Control, Inc. is proud to manufacture y-strainers, basket strainers, duplex strainers & fabricated products for commercial and industrial applications.
Titan Strainers
Y Strainers
Y Strainers (or “Wye Strainers”) mechanically remove debris in pipeline with a cylindrical straining element, often called a screen. They can be placed in horizontal or vertical pipelines (downward only) and require regular cleaning of the screen for proper operation.
Features of Titan Y Strainers:
- All Titan Cast Iron and Carbon Steel strainers are epoxy painted providing an increased resistance to rust and corrosion.
- Hex ends on threaded units allow for quick and easy installation.
- Finer filtrations are possible with precision machined screen seats in both the body and the cap. This also helps to ensure proper alignment during assembly.
- Encapsulated gaskets extend the life of the gaskets and aid in preventing a gasket blowout.
- Large strainer bodies provide a large open area ratio that minimizes pressure drop.
- Drain/Blow-off plugs are provided at no additional cost on applicable models. Blow-off valves can be installed in-house to enable self-cleaning and reduce maintenance time at the job site.
- Numerous straining element options are available (perforation, mesh, and material) and Titan can quickly provide replacements when needed.
Basket Strainers
Basket strainers are used to mechanically remove debris in pipelines with a straining element that is shaped like a basket. Basket Strainers are typically used in horizontal pipelines. In most cases, they provide more open area for debris collection than a Y strainer and need less frequent cleaning.
Features of Titan Basket Strainers:
- All Titan Cast Iron and Carbon Steel strainers are epoxy painted providing an increased resistance to rust and corrosion.
- Hex ends on threaded units allow for quick and easy installation.
- Finer filtrations are possible with precision machined screen seats in both the body and the cap. This also helps to ensure proper alignment during assembly.
- Encapsulated gaskets extend the life of the gaskets and aid in preventing a gasket blowout. Models that offer an over-the-top flow path also feature a basket/seat o-ring.
- Optional cover designs are available including bolted, quick-open, and more.
- Large strainer bodies and sizable straining elements provide a large open area ratio that minimizes pressure drop and maximizes time between servicing.
- Drain and cover vent plugs are provided at no additional cost on applicable models. Blow-off valves can be installed in-house to enable self-cleaning and reduce maintenance time at the job site.
- Numerous straining element options are available (perforation, mesh, and material) and Titan can quickly provide replacements when needed.
Duplex Strainers
Duplex Strainers are ideal for non-interruptable applications. Two basket chambers and a flow diverter system allow the pipeline flow to be switched from one chamber to the other. Because the flow is completely isolated to a single chamber, the inactive chamber can be cleaned without shutdown.
Features of Titan’s New Duplex Strainers:
- Titan’s unique cup and cone diverter design with a double seal is patent-pending worldwide!
- Compact, low profile design uses full sized straining elements.
- Low torque handle with less than a quarter-turn change over means the strainer is easy to operate.
- Quick open cover provides easy access without special tools for cleaning and maintenance.
- A streamlined body cavity and internal straightening vanes help to minimize turbulence and and lower pressure drop.
- Numerous straining element options are available (perforation, mesh, and material) and Titan can quickly provide replacements when needed.
