The stainless steel bag filter housing is our convenient and economical filtration solution designed to meet the needs of a wide range of industries: water, chemical & polymers, food & beverages, cosmetics, etc., offering the possibility to use a wide variety of filter bags to suit many industrial filtration applications.
The main advantages of the bag filter housings are its wide selection of filter bags with progressive filtration ratings from 0.5 to 2000 microns and a flow rate ranging from 1 to 180 m3/h. Convenient and durable, this filter is highly appreciated in many different fields.
This filter vessel can be adapted for multiple applications such as paint filtration, process water treatment, and as a safety filter for drilling and pumping waters. It is ideal in multiple industries: agri-food, cosmetics or fine chemicals, for which we offer an electro-polished or mirror finish with no retention zone.
Highlights of the bag filter housings
Bag filtration offers numerous benefits. Performance is scalable according to your filtration demands. A simple change of filter bag can completely transform the filtration threshold. The flow rates are scalable, it is possible to use a simple stainless steel bag filter, multibag filters or multiplex systems (several in-line filter housings) for flow rates up to 1000 m3 / h.
How does a bag filter housing work
The industrial bag filter housing consists of a cylindrical body, usually made of 304 or 316 L stainless steel. This filter vessel can accommodate one or more filter bags depending on the flow rates. The liquid to be filtered arrives from the top of the filter into the bag. This filter bag is supported by a restrainer basket that handles the mechanical loads. The fluid passes through the filter bag leaving the impurities inside of it. Then, the liquid comes out through the bottom nozzle of the filter housing, free of impurities.
During filtration, the pressure upstream gradually increases until the bag is completely clogged. It is then necessary to stop the installation or by passing to another filter body via a valve. Simply open the cover and replace the filter bag.
We can offer filter bags with filtration ratings ranging from 0.5 to 2000 microns.
Both, the filtration rating and filter bag materials can be adapted to best suit the demands of each industrial process.
The advantages of bag filter housings
Bag filter housings are popular because they offer many advantages. Reliability, performance, simplicity, filtration quality and economy are just some of it best features. It is also possible to adapt the filter vessel, so that it can be easily integrated into an existing installation.
