Bag Filter Housings for Industrial Liquid Filtration

Bag filter housings are widely used in industrial liquid filtration systems where reliable removal of suspended particles is required. Pelmar Engineering supplies industrial bag filter housings designed to support high flow filtration applications across manufacturing, water treatment, and process industries throughout Canada.

These filtration housings are engineered to accommodate replaceable filter bags that capture particulate contaminants while allowing clean liquid to pass through the system. Bag filtration systems are commonly selected for their simplicity, cost effectiveness, and ability to handle high flow rates in demanding industrial environments.

The following bag filter housings are available through Pelmar Engineering and are designed to support a wide range of liquid filtration requirements.

Industrial Bag Filter Housing Applications

Bag filter housings are commonly installed in industrial filtration systems where liquids must be filtered to protect equipment, maintain product quality, or meet operational requirements. These housings are capable of handling a variety of flow conditions and filtration requirements depending on the bag filter configuration.

Typical applications include:

  • Industrial process water filtration
  • Chemical and petrochemical processing
  • Food and beverage production
  • Cooling water systems
  • Wastewater treatment operations
  • Pharmaceutical and specialty chemical processing
  • Pre filtration for downstream filtration systems

Bag filtration systems provide an efficient method for removing suspended solids from liquids while maintaining consistent system performance.

Types of Bag Filter Housings Available

Pelmar Engineering supplies multiple bag filter housing configurations designed to support different system capacities and filtration requirements.

Available filtration housing series include:

  • BMB Series multi bag filter housings designed for high flow filtration systems
  • HSL Series housings designed to accommodate double length bag filters
  • LP Series Housings NSF ANSI 61 certified multi bag filter housings for water applications
  • SL Series single bag filter housings available in ASME code and non code configurations
  • TL Series bag filter housings with top inlet and bottom outlet configuration

Each series offers different design characteristics including inlet configuration, bag capacity, and material construction to support various industrial filtration applications.

Selecting the Appropriate Bag Filter Housing

Choosing the correct bag filter housing requires evaluating system requirements such as flow rate, filtration level, and operating conditions. Engineers and system designers typically review these parameters when selecting filtration equipment for industrial processes.

Important considerations may include:

  • Required flow capacity
  • Type of liquid being filtered
  • Particle size to be removed
  • Operating pressure and temperature
  • Installation space and system configuration

Evaluating these factors helps ensure the selected bag filter housing provides reliable filtration performance and supports long term system operation.

Common Questions About Bag Filter Housings

A bag filter housing is a pressure vessel designed to hold replaceable filter bags used to remove suspended particles from liquids. As fluid passes through the filter bag, contaminants are captured inside the bag while clean liquid continues through the filtration system.

These housings are widely used in industrial filtration applications because they provide a simple and efficient way to remove solids from liquids while supporting high flow rates.

Single bag filter housings contain one filter bag and are typically used for lower flow rate applications or smaller filtration systems. Multi bag filter housings contain multiple filter bags within a single housing, allowing them to handle higher flow rates and larger volumes of liquid.

The choice between single bag and multi bag housings depends on system capacity, flow rate requirements, and the volume of liquid being filtered.

The replacement frequency of bag filters depends on several factors including the level of contamination in the liquid, system flow rate, and filtration requirements. In many systems, bag filters are replaced when pressure differential across the filter increases or when filtration performance begins to decline.

Monitoring system pressure and filtration performance helps determine when filter replacement is required.

Bag filter housings are commonly manufactured using stainless steel or carbon steel depending on the application and operating conditions. Stainless steel housings are often used in applications requiring corrosion resistance or sanitary conditions, such as food processing or pharmaceutical production.

Material selection depends on the type of liquid being filtered, operating temperature, and system pressure.
