Product description
Stainless steel single cartridge housing for industrial liquid filtration
The stainless steel single cartridge filter housing is designed for industrial liquid filtration applications where a compact, robust and pressure rated housing is required. This housing accommodates a single filter cartridge and is typically used for low to medium flow rates where simplicity and reliability are key.
Single cartridge housings are selected when filtration capacity requirements do not justify a multi cartridge system, or when point of use filtration is required within a larger process installation.
Filtration principle
The housing is designed for vertical installation with a single filter cartridge mounted centrally inside the vessel. Process liquid enters the housing, flows through the cartridge and exits through the outlet connection, while contaminants are retained by the filter media.
This configuration provides:
-
predictable filtration performance
-
stable pressure behaviour
-
uniform flow through the cartridge
-
efficient use of filtration surface area
The design supports both continuous and batch filtration processes.
Cartridge compatibility
This stainless steel single cartridge housing is compatible with:
-
Double Open End cartridges
-
Single Open End cartridges, Code 3
This ensures flexibility in cartridge selection while maintaining reliable sealing and cartridge positioning.
Design and construction
The housing is manufactured from stainless steel and designed for durability in industrial environments. It features a vertical, single stack configuration with top access for safe and efficient cartridge replacement.
Typical design features include:
-
single cartridge vertical configuration
-
quick opening clamp closure
-
integrated vent and drain connections
-
smooth internal surfaces for cleaning and hygiene
-
compact footprint for easy installation
The cartridge can be replaced without removing pipework, minimizing maintenance time.
Materials of construction
The housing body and closure are manufactured from stainless steel suitable for industrial process conditions. Non wetted components are selected for mechanical strength and long service life.
Sealing materials are selected according to process fluid compatibility and operating conditions.
Operating conditions
Typical operating conditions include:
-
pressure ratings suitable for industrial liquid filtration
-
operating temperatures compatible with stainless steel construction
-
suitability for liquids and low pressure gas applications
Exact pressure and temperature limits depend on cartridge length, housing configuration and operating conditions and are defined during the configuration phase.
Compliance and safety
Stainless steel single cartridge housings are designed and manufactured in accordance with applicable pressure equipment requirements. Each housing is pressure tested and supplied with appropriate documentation.
Where required, housings can be supplied with PED compliance and CE marking.
