Sanitary Metal Filter Housings

Along with a cartridge, these housings are used in liquid processing lines to filter contaminants and minimize bacteria growth in food and pharmaceutical plants, as well as other sanitary environments. Made of 316 stainless steel, they won’t corrode from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners. With a self-draining design, rounded edges, and highly polished surfaces, they leave no space for liquids to linger or bacteria to grow. These housings connect to process lines with sanitary quick-clamp fittings that allow for fast disassembly and cleaning. An EPDM gasket maintains a tight seal and resists water, detergents, chemicals, and steam. The gasket is FDA compliant for direct contact with food. Housings are 3-A certified for sanitary design standards and comply with FDA pharmaceutical equipment design standards.

Cartridges

Cartridges are pleated, creating a large surface area for trapping debris. They have one open end with an EPDM rubber O-ring and locking tabs—the O-ring creates a tight seal to ensure that liquids pass through the cartridge for filtration, while the locking tabs help align with cartridges for a secure fit. Cartridges are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.

Polypropylene Filter—Cartridges with a polypropylene filter are often used as pre-filters in liquid processing lines, capturing larger particles to prevent clogging.

PES Filter—Cartridges with a PES filter remove extremely small particles, so they’re commonly used as final filters in high-purity applications. They’re also known as absolute-rated cartridges.

Sanitary Compressed Air Filters for Oil, Particle, and Bacteria Removal

Remove bacteria, viruses, moisture, and other particles from compressed air and gases used in food, pharmaceutical, biotech, and electronics applications. These air filters catch 99.99% of particles as small as 0.003 microns. That’s why they meet 3-A’s accepted practice for creating sterile air, which is used in applications such as tank ventilation, pharmaceutical packaging, and beer fermentation. They’re FDA compliant for direct contact with food, and also meet pharmaceutical equipment design standards.

Designed for sanitary areas, these air filters are 3-A certified 10-04 and meet ASME BPE. Their housing and filter element are stainless steel, so frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners and sanitizers won’t corrode them. They can also be sterilized in an autoclave or using steam in sterilize-in-place (SIP) procedures. To make sure water and cleaning liquids drain off, these air filters don’t have any horizontal ledges. The smooth, polished sides and rounded edges minimize spots where bacteria could grow.

These air filters have two quick-clamp fittings, which are easy to remove for cleaning and access to your line. Each fitting has an EPDM gasket for a tight seal and excellent resistance to steam.

Sanitary Metal Filter Housings with Cartridge for Food and Beverage Steam Lines

Replacement Cartridges

Remove contaminants, moisture, and other particles from steam that will touch food and for final filtering in pharmaceutical, biotech, and electronics applications. The cartridge in these housings filters out 98% of particles as small as 1 micron and 100% of particles as small as 2 microns. That’s why they meet 3-A’s accepted practice for creating culinary-grade steam, which is often used in steam-in-place (SIP) cycles to sanitize equipment, and for applications such as blanching. They’re FDA compliant for direct contact with food, and also meet pharmaceutical equipment design standards.

All are made of 316 stainless steel, so frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners and sanitizers won’t corrode them, and they withstand steam. These housings are designed to sanitary standards; they’re 3-A certified 10-04 and meet ASME BPE. They have rounded edges and highly polished interior and exterior surfaces, minimizing the spots where bacteria could grow. For the same reason, they don’t have horizontal ledges—liquid completely drains off.

They connect to your line with two quick-clamp fittings that are easy to take apart for cleaning and line reconfiguration. Each fitting is tightly sealed with an EPDM gasket, which has excellent resistance to steam.

Cartridges can be cleaned and reused, but after six cleanings you should replace them to maintain high performance.

Corrosion-Resistant Metal Filter Housings with Cartridge for Food and Beverage Steam Lines


		Replacement Cartridges

Remove contaminants from culinary steam—steam that sanitizes food and beverage processing equipment—with these corrosion-resistant filter housings. They’re often used as pre-filters to trap large particles, protecting filters that then capture smaller particles. Made of stainless steel, they won’t corrode from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners. The cartridge can be cleaned for repeated use, but should be replaced after six uses. These housings comply with FDA design standards for pharmaceutical equipment and are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.
