Many manufacturers and industrial plants use filtering systems to remove particles and contaminants from water and chemicals. Filter media bags and cartridges are held in industrial filter housings, which are located at critical points to filter and clean process liquids.
Filter housings from Clean Liquid Systems come in a variety of sizes and configurations to suit different applications. Learn more about how they work, their benefits, and the options available below.
What Are Industrial Filter Housings?
An industrial filter housing is a solid shell or casing that holds a filter bag or cartridge in place. Liquid flows in through an inlet and then passes through one or more stages of filtering media. Sediment, particles, and impurities collect in the filter and the clean liquid passes out of the housing through an outlet.
This basic configuration can be modified depending on the needs of each application, such as mesh baskets, pressure relief valves, drains for accumulated sediment, space for multiple filter bags or cartridges, and brackets or clamps for mounting the housing at the point of use. Filter housings can be made from several materials including stainless or carbon steel, aluminum, inert polymers, or other specialized materials for corrosive, high-pressure, or hazardous liquids.
Our filter housing systems are designed for easy access so filters can be changed out easily without additional tools or complicated disassembly. They are a simple and cost-effective way to keep process liquids free from contaminants without disrupting regular operations.
Benefits of Industrial Filter Housings
Industrial filter housings offer several advantages:
- Ease of Maintenance. The housings are designed for easy access, allowing the inner element to be cleaned or replaced without special tools. This saves time and labor.
- Customizability. Housings are available for holding single or multiple filter bags, baskets, or cartridges, and can be tailored to specific system requirements.
- Efficiency. High efficiency filtration systems can be designed to regulate higher pressure and flow rates to avoid a buildup within the housing without disrupting operations. A range of particle sizes and types can be trapped, and sealing gaskets and closures prevent liquid from escaping the filtration process.
- Durability. Filter housings can be constructed from a range of materials including stainless or carbon steel, aluminum, and more. Materials that offer high durability, corrosion resistance, and temperature resistance are also available.
Applications of Industrial Filter Housings
Industrial filter housings are used across many industries:
- Chemical Processing. These filter systems are used with coolants, for removing catalysts, and ensure product purity.
- Food and Beverage. In food processing and manufacturing, filters are used for edible oils, syrups, and beverages like juices to remove particles, bacteria, and contaminants.
- Pharmaceuticals. In pharmaceutical production filter systems keep process water, solvents, and liquids free from contaminants.
- Water Treatment. Filter housings remove particles, microbes, and sediment, improving water quality in industrial and municipal water treatment plants.
- Petrochemicals. Filters are used with oils, fuels, and other petrochemical products, removing contaminants and particulate matter to optimize performance.
