Cartridge filter housing

About Cartridge filter housing

A cartridge filter housing is a filtration unit designed to hold one or more filter cartridges used to remove particulates, contaminants, or microorganisms from liquids or gases. Its widely used in water treatment, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food & beverage, and semiconductor industries.What is a Cartridge Filter Housing?Its a pressure vessel that securely contains filter cartridges (usually made of polypropylene, stainless steel, or pleated membranes). Contaminated fluid enters the housing, passes through the cartridges, and exits as clean fluid.Key Components Component Description Housing body SS304, SS316, MS, or PVDF for corrosive applications Filter cartridges Vary in length (10", 20", 30", 40"), material & micron rating Top closure Clamp, swing bolt, or threaded cover Inlet & outlet ports Flanged, threaded, or tri-clamp connections Cartridge holding plate Ensures correct positioning and sealing Vent and drain ports Optional for air release and cleaning Working Principle Fluid enters through the inlet port. Passes through the cartridges, which trap particles. Clean fluid exits through the outlet port. Cartridges are replaced or cleaned when clogged (based on differential pressure). Types of Cartridge Filter Housings Type Description Single Cartridge Housing For small flow rates; holds 1 cartridge Multi-Cartridge Housing For industrial-scale operations; holds 3100+ cartridges High-Pressure Housing Designed for RO, oil & gas, or boiler feed water Sanitary Housing Used in pharma & food industry (tri-clamp connections, mirror polish) Jacketed Housing For heating/cooling viscous fluids Technical Specifications Specification Range Number of cartridges 1 to 100+ Cartridge length 10", 20", 30", 40" Cartridge type DOE (double open end), SOE (single open end 222/226 O-rings) Micron ratings 0.1m 100m Material SS304, SS316, MS, PVDF Pressure rating 3 10 bar standard; up to 150 bar for high-pressure systems Flow rate 0.5 m/hr to 500+ m/hr Industries That Use Cartridge Filter Housings Water & wastewater treatment RO plants (pre/post filtration) Food & beverage (beer, juice, milk) Pharmaceuticals (sterile filtration) Chemicals and petrochemicals Cosmetics and personal care Electronics (ultrapure water) Optional Accessories Pressure gauges Air vent valve Drain port Clamps or bolt closures Differential pressure indicator Skid-mounted with pump
