Mainteno® Tigon
Online-cleanable Y and T-type strainer that is flushed and back-flushed in place, without isolating the line.
Product overview
A Y or T-type strainer built so the screen is purged while the line stays in service. A blowdown connection on the cap reverses flow across the mesh and carries debris to drain, turning a shutdown job into a valve operation.
The problem it solves
A choked strainer normally means isolating the line, letting it cool, opening the cap and lifting out the screen. On a continuous process that is a planned shutdown, and the cost is measured in lost throughput rather than in the price of the strainer.
Working principle
Process flow enters the body and passes outward through the screen. Opening the blowdown valve creates a differential that reverses flow across the mesh, lifting trapped scale and mill debris off the screen and discharging it through the drain port while the line remains live.
Applications
- Steam mains and branch lines ahead of traps and control valves
- Pump suction protection on condensate and water circuits
- Compressed air headers and utility water lines
- Any line where a shutdown to clean a strainer is unacceptable
