What The SS 304 and 316L Lenticular Does In Your Line
SS 304 and 316L Lenticular Filter Housings are constructed with SS316L for the lenticular filter elements and SS304 for the legs and clamp. They are designed for easy disassembly, cleaning, draining, and sampling. The housings feature a tri-clamp and swing bolt closure with an electropolished finish for sanitary applications. Available in 12 inch and 16 inch diameters with 1 to 4 modules, they support high flow and deep filtration in food and beverage processes.

Why Buyers Pick This Element
- Electropolished finish inside and out for enhanced cleanability and sanitary compliance
- Tri-clamp and swing bolt closure enables fast, tool-free change-out
- Total enclosed depth filtration prevents bypass and maintains process integrity
- Vertical design simplifies access and reduces downtime during maintenance
- SS316L wet parts resist corrosion in aggressive food and beverage fluids
- Modular design allows for 1 to 4 modules to match process flow and space constraints
Buyers Who Specify This Cartridge
- Food and beverage plant engineers managing sanitary filtration in high-purity lines
- Brewery and winery maintenance teams standardising on quick-change housings
- Filtration system integrators specifying sanitary housings for new production skids
- Distributors supplying replacement housings for existing lenticular filter systems
- Process engineers upgrading from older housings to electropolished, modular units
What It Fixes On The Line
- Difficult cleaning and sanitisation due to rough or non-electropolished surfaces
- Long change-out times from complex or non-standard closures
- Bypass or leakage at seals during high-pressure operation
- Inadequate corrosion resistance in SS304-only housings for aggressive fluids
- Lack of modular flexibility when scaling flow or replacing single modules
- Contamination risk from trapped solids in non-enclosed or poorly sealed designs
Construction Detail
- Constructed with SS316L for lenticular filter elements, SS304 for legs and clamp
- Electropolished finish on all wetted surfaces for sanitary performance
- Tri-clamp inlet/outlet with swing bolt closure for fast access and secure sealing
- Modular design with 1 to 4 modules to match flow and space requirements
- Total enclosed depth filtration prevents bypass and maintains filtration integrity
- Vertical orientation simplifies maintenance and reduces footprint
Materials Of Construction
- SS316L for lenticular filter elements and wetted parts
- SS304 for legs and clamp components
- EPDM O-rings for general food and beverage service
- Buna O-rings for hydrocarbon and general industrial fluids
- Silicone O-rings where low extractables are required
- Viton O-rings for high temperature and aggressive chemical service

How It Compares With The Alternatives
| Standard stainless steel housings with flanged connections | LRH uses tri-clamp and swing bolt for faster change-out, but requires compatible fittings |
|---|---|
| Housings with non-electropolished surfaces | Electropolished finish reduces residue and improves cleanability, but may require more careful handling |
| Single-module housings | LRH’s modular design allows incremental expansion or replacement, but adds complexity in assembly |
| OEM lenticular housings | Same dimensions and fit, but LRH offers lower lead time and cost without OEM branding or warranty documentation |
Installing And Running This Cartridge
- Confirm inlet/outlet size and module count before ordering to match your system
- Use the correct O-ring compound based on fluid type and operating temperature
- Inspect the O-ring and sealing surface before each installation to prevent leaks
- Clean and sanitize the housing after each change-out to maintain hygiene
- Do not exceed 150 psi or 150 ℃ to avoid damage to the O-ring or structure
- Lift the housing vertically during change-out to avoid dropping or misaligning the modules
