Product description
Single bag filter housing for flexible industrial liquid filtration
The Single Bag Filter Housing is designed for industrial liquid filtration applications where reliable performance, easy maintenance and flexible installation are required. This housing uses a single replaceable filter bag and is suitable for a wide range of filtration duties, from coarse pre filtration to finer process filtration.
Single bag filter housings are commonly used where flow rates are moderate and where a compact, cost effective filtration solution is preferred.
Filtration principle
The housing operates with a single filter bag installed inside a support basket. Process liquid enters the housing, flows through the filter bag and exits through the outlet connection, while particles and contaminants are retained inside the bag.
This filtration method offers:
-
high dirt holding capacity
-
stable flow behaviour
-
simple and fast bag replacement
-
flexible filtration ratings depending on bag selection
Bag filtration is widely applied in industrial liquid processes due to its simplicity and effectiveness.
Flow configurations
The Single Bag Filter Housing is available in two standard flow configurations to suit different installation requirements.
Side inlet bottom outlet
In this configuration, liquid enters the housing through a side connection and exits at the bottom. This design supports efficient liquid distribution and is commonly used in general industrial applications.
Top inlet bottom outlet
In this configuration, liquid enters from the top of the housing and exits at the bottom. This flow path supports vertical flow and can be preferred where installation space or process design requires top entry.
Both configurations are designed to ensure stable flow through the filter bag and reliable filtration performance.
Design and construction
The Single Bag Filter Housing is engineered for industrial environments and regular maintenance. The vertical design allows easy access to the filter bag and internal basket.
Typical design features include:
-
robust housing construction
-
removable internal support basket
-
smooth internal surfaces for cleaning
-
top access for fast bag replacement
-
compact installation footprint
Depending on configuration, different lid closure systems are available to balance ease of use and mechanical security.
Bag size compatibility
The housing is compatible with standard industrial liquid filter bag sizes:
-
size 1
-
size 2
-
size 3
-
size 4
This allows a wide selection of bag materials and micron ratings to be used depending on the application requirements.
Operating conditions
Typical operating characteristics include:
-
pressure ratings suitable for industrial liquid filtration
-
operating temperatures depending on housing material and configuration
-
compatibility with a wide range of industrial liquids
Exact operating limits depend on the selected configuration, bag size and process conditions and are defined during the configuration stage.
Compliance and safety
Single Bag Filter Housings supplied by Filtra International are designed in accordance with applicable industrial and pressure equipment standards. Depending on configuration, housings can be supplied with conformity documentation and CE marking.
