Single Bag Filter Housings
Single bag filter housings provide a practical and economical method of removing suspended solids, dirt, scale, rust, and other particulate contaminants from liquid process streams. The housing holds a single replaceable filter bag, allowing contaminated bags to be removed and replaced quickly when the element reaches its loading capacity, or the system reaches its specified differential pressure.
Particularly useful where filtration is required but continuous flow during bag replacement is not essential. Where uninterrupted filtration is required, multiple housings can be installed in parallel, or a duplex arrangement can be specified.
Key Benefits
Simple Filtration — Provides reliable removal of suspended solids and contaminants using a single replaceable filter bag.
Quick Changeouts — Removable covers provide convenient access to the filter bag, simplifying routine inspection, replacement, and maintenance procedures.
Cost-Effective Operation — Single-bag configurations offer an economical filtration solution while minimizing replacement and maintenance costs.
Compact Footprint — The single-element design requires less floor space and provides a practical solution for installations with limited available space.
High Flow Capability — Larger #1 and #2 bag configurations accommodate higher flow rates and greater holding capacity than smaller #3 and #4 arrangements.
Replaceable Filtration Media — Individual filter bags can be removed and replaced without replacing the housing, reducing operating costs and supporting flexible filtration performance.
