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



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.

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 rubber 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 (sold separately) 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.
Cartridges with a polypropylene filter are often used as pre-filters in liquid processing lines, capturing larger particles to prevent clogging.
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.

Stainless Steel Quick-Clamp T-Strainers


- Max. Pressure for Beverage, Dairy, Food, Pharmaceuticals, and Water: 150 psi @ 72° F
- Temp. Range: -50° to 275° F
Add these inline T-strainers to your sanitary process line to trap solid particles during clean-in-place (CIP) cycles. They have quick-clamp sanitary tube connections, also known as tri-clamp connections, for use in dairy, food, and other process lines that require frequent cleaning and disassembly. As the high-pressure cleaning fluid flows through your line, the strainer's screen catches particles larger than 1/8" to prevent damage to pumps, valves, and other downstream components. And because the total open area of the screen is larger than the area of the tube itself, the screen will not restrict flow.
Strainers come with a gasket and clamp to secure the screen inside the strainer. Gaskets and clamps for connecting the strainer to your line are sold separately. A handle lets you remove the screen to clean it between runs.

Sanitary Magnetic Strainers



- For Use With: Beverage, Dairy, Food, Salt Solutions, Sodium Nitrate, Water
- Max. Pressure: 150 psi @ 225° F
- Temp. Range: -20° to 225° F
Draw metal shavings and other contaminants out of your sanitary liquid line with these strainers. As liquid swirls through the strainer cavity, magnets sealed inside capture any metal bits. Remaining impurities are separated out with gravity and trapped in a collection sump. Empty the strainers by removing the lid and scooping up the collected particles at the bottom of the enclosure. These strainers have quick-clamp connections, so they’re good for frequent deep cleans and line changes. Also known as tri-clamp fittings, they connect with a gasket, a clamp, and another quick-clamp fitting for quick removal and assembly.
These strainers are 316 stainless steel, which won’t corrode from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners. The continuous weld seams and polished surfaces are free of pits and crevices where bacteria could grow, making them easy to sanitize. Rated for high temperatures, you can keep these strainers on your line during a heated clean-in-place (CIP) process. All strainers and their included gasket are FDA compliant, meaning they are safe for food contact.
Filters that are USDA certified meet the highest standards of sanitary design.

High-Vacuum Inline Filters
Capture oil, oil vapor, and other contaminants from your pump to prevent them from spreading into your high-vacuum system with these filters. When it's time to replace the filter element, you don't need tools to access it; undo the quick-release clamp to open the filter body. Filters have a drain port to remove collected oil.
Filters with quick-clamp connections (also known as KF, NW, and QF fittings) require a quick clamp and a ring (both sold separately) for each connection.
Filters with claw-clamp connections (also known as ISO-K fittings) will connect to larger components than filters with quick-clamp connections. Use four claw clamps and a ring (all sold separately) to secure each connection. Double-claw clamps attach to the grooves on the fittings. Single-claw clamps have a clamp on one end and an exposed bolt on the other. Thread the bolt-end directly into the body of pumps, valves, or other high-vacuum components.

High-Vacuum Air-Intake Filters
Install these filters between your high-vacuum chamber and the inlet of your pump to remove dust, water vapor, and other contaminants from the system and protect the pump. Commonly used in vacuum-furnace and coating applications, they have a polyester filter element that traps particles as small as 5 microns. All filters have been helium-leak tested to ensure quality. When the filter element becomes clogged, you can replace it.
Quick-clamp connections are also known as KF, QF, and NW connections; they require a ring and quick clamp (sold separately) to complete the connection.

High-Vacuum Oil-Mist-Eliminating Exhaust Filters
Clamp these exhaust filters onto oil-sealed, high-vacuum pumps to remove oil, smoke, and other contaminants and keep workplace air clean. Once captured, the oil returns to the pump to be reused. Instead of a threaded connection, these filters have a quick-clamp high-vacuum fitting, which is commonly found on high-vacuum pumps. Quick-clamp high-vacuum fittings are also known as KF, QF, and NW fittings; they require a ring and clamp (sold separately) to complete the connection.

Odor-Absorbing High-Vacuum Oil-Mist-Eliminating Exhaust Filters
To keep airborne oil and odor out of your work environment, connect these filters to your high-vacuum oil pump. They purify pump exhaust in two stages: a fiberglass layer captures oil and collects it into a drain, and an active carbon layer removes any odor-causing oil or chemical vapors. Attach the quick-clamp fitting on the filter inlet to your high-vacuum pump. Use a ring and clamp (sold separately) to complete the connection.

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.
To maintain high performance, replace the filter element every 150 cycles.
