Multi-Bag Housings

Applications that require multiple filtration housing units offer extended service life and a large return on investment for our clients. 

Big Flow, Large Volume, No Problem!

We strive to meet the needs of our clients and that means engineering multi-bag filter housing units to accommodate large volumes and flow rates for a wide range of applications. Our standard stainless steel multi-bag filtration units can handle flow rates of up to 2,400 GPM. If your application requires a larger GPM, our team offers custom-engineered solutions to meet specific needs. These multi-bag filter housing units are versatile enough to be used with various filter media and are safe for use with many different chemicals or products, too. The stainless steel components are corrosion-resistant and make the units easy to clean, as well.

Choosing Multi-Bag Housing Units vs. Single-Bag Housing Units

If your filtration application requires higher volumes and flow rates but you or your team needs fewer media bag changes, a multi-bag filter housing system may be the best option to meet your needs! Multi-bag filter housings assist with faster turnaround times and can reduce downtime during bag media filter changes. Compression bag clamps also guarantee a positive seal and zero discharge, so no process fluids are lost. These features also prevent bypassing and leakage during processing. 

The ergonomic design of Filter Sciences multi-bag filter housing units makes operation, repairs, and cleaning quick and easy for your team, too! Because stainless steel prevents corrosion and is easy to sanitize, your units will be easier to keep in peak condition. The over-the-top design and spring lids also assist with easier filter bag changing. Side drain ports facilitate chaining multiple units, and because you can simply replace the filter media, our bag housing units offer huge savings over cartridge filters.

Why Stainless Steel Housings?

We choose stainless steel because it offers superior corrosion-resistance and strength over carbon steel. With the addition of chromium (10.5 to 11 percent by mass), the stainless steel in our housing units, both single-bag and multi-bag, forms a chromium oxide layer to greatly reduce corrosion in the unit and extends the service life to increase your return on investment.
