What types of Filter Housings are available?
We provide two distinct types of filter housings, either of which can be duplexed for applications in which the filter bags may have to be changed without having to interrupt the liquid flow. The first type, what we refer to as the Model SL, represents a very traditional design that has been around for many years and is manufactured by several companies. As such, it is one of the most popular filter housings that we offer.Since nothing clamps the bag in-place, it is possible to receive a little bypass. In order to reach the bag you have to stick your hand into the fluid or purchase bags with handles (additional cost).Capable of filtering flow rates as high as 180 GPM, these housings contain woven wire mesh baskets for supporting the filter bags. The basket design and seating arrangement eliminate the need for a gasket at the basket flange. Using the filter bags in conjunction with the mesh baskets enables usage at differential pressures as high as 60-75 PSI.
