These steel filter bag housings have heavy duty construction and are more durable than our other metal housings. They have a high-flow capacity for filtering large amounts of material. Housings come with a strainer basket to support a filter bag (sold separately). They have a threaded drain with a plug for easy cleaning. Bolt the legs to the floor for stability.

Housings with eyebolt cover provide a tight seal.

Housings with clamp cover allow for easy access to the filter bag for quick replacements.

The optional strainer baskets are sold separately. Only the baskets with 9/64" perforations will work with a filter bag.

To Order: For optional perforated strainer baskets, please specify the opening size: 1/16”, 9/64”, 3/16”, or 1/4”. For optional mesh strainer baskets, please specify a mesh size: 20 × 20, 40 × 40, 60 × 60, 100 × 100, or 150 × 150.

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.
