Product description
Plastic cartridge filter housings for industrial and utility filtration
Plastic cartridge filter housings are designed for liquid filtration applications where corrosion resistance, chemical compatibility and ease of maintenance are required. These housings are used to hold industry standard filter cartridges and guide process liquid through the selected filter media in a controlled and reliable way.
Plastic housings are typically selected as a cost effective and practical solution for a wide range of industrial and utility filtration tasks. Different housing materials and designs are available to match operating conditions such as temperature, chemical exposure and purity requirements.
Filtration principle
The plastic cartridge filter housings are designed for top loaded cartridge filtration. Liquid enters the housing, flows through the installed filter cartridge and exits through the outlet connection. The housing ensures correct positioning of the cartridge and reliable sealing to prevent bypass.
This filtration concept allows:
-
consistent particle removal
-
predictable pressure drop behavior
-
simple and fast cartridge replacement
Housing types and configurations
1. Polypropylene cartridge filter housing
The polypropylene housing is manufactured from virgin polypropylene and is suitable for general industrial liquid filtration. It is designed for use with Double Open End cartridges and is available in standard sizes as well as Big Blue versions for higher flow rates and longer service life.
Typical characteristics:
-
corrosion resistant polypropylene construction
-
compatible with DOE cartridges
-
suitable for a wide range of industrial liquids
-
available in standard and Big Blue formats
2. Transparent cartridge filter housing
The transparent housing features a clear bowl that allows visual inspection of the cartridge and fluid condition during operation. This housing is also designed for Double Open End cartridges and is available in standard and Big Blue configurations.
Typical characteristics:
-
visual control of cartridge condition
-
easier maintenance planning
-
compatible with DOE cartridges
-
corrosion resistant construction
3. High temperature plastic filter housing
The high temperature housing is designed for applications where operating temperatures exceed the limits of standard polypropylene housings. It is manufactured from reinforced plastic materials that provide improved thermal stability while maintaining chemical resistance.
Typical characteristics:
-
suitable for elevated operating temperatures
-
reinforced plastic construction
-
compatible with DOE cartridges
-
stable performance under demanding conditions
4. Pure water cartridge filter housing
The pure water housing is intended for applications requiring high purity filtration. It is optimized for use with Code 3 filter cartridges and is designed to minimize extractables and contamination risks in sensitive water systems.
Typical characteristics:
-
suitable for pure and potable water filtration
-
optimized for Code 3 cartridges
-
materials selected for high purity applications
-
predictable filtration performance
Design and construction
All plastic cartridge filter housings share common design features such as:
-
reliable sealing systems to prevent bypass
-
threaded or clamped closure systems
-
mounting options for stable installation
-
configurations for common cartridge lengths and diameters
The housings are designed for durability, ease of use and straightforward maintenance.
Operating conditions
Typical operating conditions for plastic cartridge filter housings include:
-
pressure ratings suitable for general industrial liquid filtration
-
temperature limits depending on housing material
-
