A stainless steel filter housing is a core pressure vessel utilized within industrial fluid filtration systems. Designed to accommodate various filter elements—such as cartridges, filter bags, or membrane modules—it directs fluid flow through the filtration media to achieve contaminant removal, clarification, or separation. Due to their exceptional mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, these housings are widely applied across water treatment, chemical processing, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and industrial liquid purification sectors.
Description
Filmedia® offers one of the widest ranges of standard filter housings available today and with many in stock for immediate shipping. We also have the capability to fully support the process industries and their engineering contactors in to large and specialised projects. We have the design and project management capability to deliver both large and complex systems where required. We have delivered small one-off laboratory rigs for pharmaceutical applications, bespoke housings specially designed to fit perfectly into OEM’s machines, large skid or container based solutions for water treatment and oil & gas end users and many more. We offer a wide range of housings suitable for smaller process flows where a single filter cartridge is required. This range includes high pressure versions, housings with integral viewing sections and housings with a unique closure to ensure operation is as easy as possible.
