About SS Bag Filter Housing
SS Bag Filter Housing SS Bag Filter Housing is designed for optimum filtration performance. The range of SS Bag Filter Housing provides filtration solution for a broad variety of fluid applications in the process industry. SS Bag Filter Housing is particularly useful for filtering large volumes of high viscosity liquids. SS Bag Filter Housing is constructed of filter housing, filter bags, internal cage to support bags, positive sealing arrangement, and choice of end connections. The internal supports ensure that bags will not burst, as high differential pressures build up during operation.
Operation
Unfiltered fluid enters the housing and is distributed evenly around the filter bags. Filtration takes place from inside to outside. Solids are collected on the inside of filter bag for easy removal. The filtered fluid then exits through the outlet pipe.

FAQs of SS Bag Filter Housing:
Q: How does the SS Bag Filter Housing operate in an industrial filtration system?
A: The SS Bag Filter Housing employs a vertical flow configuration, where liquid passes through replaceable mesh bags that trap contaminants. The system is floor-mounted and leverages either single or multiple bags, depending on the filtration needs. This setup ensures efficient removal of particulates, with filtration accuracy up to 95%, making it ideal for demanding process applications.
Q: What filter media and micron ratings are available for this housing?
A: This housing can be fitted with filter media such as polypropylene, polyester, and nylon mesh bags. Micron ratings available include 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 micron, enabling users to select filtration fineness as required by their process specifications.
Q: When should the filter bags be replaced, and what is the process?
A: Filter bags should be replaced when there is increased differential pressure, reduced flow rate, or after a set operational period, depending on the applications contaminants load. Replacement involves manually opening the housing, removing the used bag, and installing a new one, making maintenance straightforward.
Q: Where can the SS Bag Filter Housing be used?
A: This versatile filter housing is suitable for use in water treatment, chemical processing, food and beverage manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, and general industrial filtration. Its flexible design supports varying operational demands, making it a suitable choice for diverse sectors.
Q: What benefits does the corrosion-resistant electropolished surface provide?
A: The electropolished surface enhances corrosion resistance, cleanliness, and durability. It prevents material degradation and product contamination, especially critical in hygiene-sensitive environments such as food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.
Q: Is installation and maintenance of the SS Bag Filter Housing complicated?
A: Installation is simplified due to the floor-mounted, vertical configuration and choice of flanged or threaded connections. Maintenance is user-friendly, involving manual cleaning and easy bag replacement, minimizing downtime and operational effort.
Q: How does leak-proof design improve operational safety and product integrity?
A: The leak-proof design, featuring high-quality Viton, silicone, or gasket sealing, ensures process liquids remain contained. This reduces the risk of spills, contamination, and loss of product, maintaining high operational safety and consistent filtration performance.
