    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 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.
