Industrial Filtration Products

Filter Housing

The Filter Housing is a stainless steel industrial filtration housing designed for high-pressure and high-temperature applications in process-scale systems. It features a mirror surface finish and complete stainless steel construction to minimise particle and microbial adhesion, with no dead spaces. The housing accommodates one to multiple 10", 20", 30", or 40" cartridges, supporting variable batch sizes and flow rates across demanding industrial environments. Sanitary connections allow for quick installation and easy cleaning, with options for tri-clamp, flanged, and threaded fittings. Designed for Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Steam-in-Place (SIP) operations, it supports continuous processing in regulated industries.

Mirror surface finish on stainless steel reduces particle and bacterial adhesion, minimising contamination risk
Complete stainless steel construction ensures excellent corrosion resistance in aggressive process fluids
No dead spaces in the design prevent fluid entrapment and support full CIP/SIP cycles
Accommodates one to multiple 10", 20", 30", or 40" cartridges for flexible scale-up across batch sizes

Sterile filtration and clarification of pharmaceutical APIs and biologics during production
Clarification of wine, beer, dairy, and mineral water in food and beverage processing
Removal of particulates from paints, inks, and plating solutions in industrial coating lines
Filtration of process chemicals and electronic-grade fluids in semiconductor and chemical manufacturing

Who It Is For

Pharmaceutical manufacturers requiring CIP/SIP-compatible filtration in API and biologics production
Food and beverage processors handling high-volume liquid streams with strict hygiene standards
Water treatment facilities using RO systems with high-pressure filtration demands
Industrial chemical and electronics manufacturers needing corrosion-resistant, high-purity filtration
Process engineers managing scale-up from lab to production with modular cartridge housing

Problems It Solves

Contamination from dead spaces or rough surfaces in filtration housings leading to microbial growth
Frequent clogging or reduced flow due to poor cartridge fit or inadequate housing design
Inadequate cleaning performance from non-sanitary connections, leading to cross-contamination
Inability to scale filtration from small batches to large production runs with the same housing platform
Corrosion in aggressive chemical or high-temperature environments causing housing failure

Comparison

Compared With The Alternatives

Versus Carbon steel housings

Stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance in aggressive or high-purity applications, unlike carbon steel which may rust or leach contaminants

Versus Housings with internal welds or seams

The mirror finish and seamless design eliminate dead spaces, reducing microbial and particle adhesion compared to welded housings

Versus Standard industrial housings without CIP/SIP design

This housing supports full CIP and SIP cycles, enabling automated cleaning and compliance with hygiene standards in regulated industries

Versus Single-cartridge housings

Multi-cartridge compatibility allows for higher flow rates and larger batch sizes without changing the housing platform

Use Guide

How To Use It

Select the connection type (tri-clamp, flanged, threaded) based on existing system integration
Choose cartridge size (10", 20", 30", 40") based on required flow rate and batch volume
Ensure the housing is installed with proper gaskets and seals to maintain pressure integrity
Perform CIP or SIP cycles according to process requirements to maintain hygiene
Inspect internal surfaces after cleaning to confirm no residue or corrosion remains
Replace cartridges as needed based on pressure drop or flow rate reduction
