Bulk Loading filtration for flow rates up to 50 gpm

Here is a way to ensure that the liquid chemicals or petroleum products you put into bulk containers – from drums to tanks cars – are as clean as they should be. This final filter uses low-cost filter bags with dirt retention capabilities as fine as one micron. The filter attaches to the end of your loading pipe or hose, so it’s the last thing your product touches before being loaded. It will stop any contaminant that has escaped your regular filtering system. The filter can be attached to your line by a standard quick-connect coupler for easy removal. The cover is held closed by an easy-operating clamp – no tools required.

It acts to hold the bag down in proper position, also. The filter bag can be quickly removed after loading for inspection. This will indicate your system filtration condition, and the bag can also serve as proof of the cleanliness of the product delivered. (Just send the bag along with the shipment.)

The filter is of welded construction, in carbon or 304 stainless steel. It weighs approximately nine pounds. The filter bag basket is of perforated 304 stainless steel. It uses standard-sized filter bags, #3 or #4. We offer them in many materials and micron ratings. If filter bags aren’t desired, you can order units with strainer baskets, in a wide range of perforation hole sizes and with wire cloth linings as fine as 200 mesh.

Vibrating Filter

High-frequency sieving action prevents rapid filter loading

This vibrating filter prevents filter cake from forming on the element surface. As in sieving, the screen through which the product passes is rapidly agitated. This prevents the building up of even smaller particles on larger ones stopped at the screen. By keeping over-sized material bouncing off the screen, the smaller particles can reach the screen and pass through. This sieving-type filter is ideal for paints, medicines, paper coatings, foods, or any product containing desirable solids that can be classified by size.

Unlike standard sieving, the vibrating filter works in a closed, pressurized system that greatly increases throughput. The high-frequency vibration also serves to de-lump agglomerated material. The vibrating filter contains a perforated stainless steel basket lined with either stainless wedgewire or wire cloth. An air-driven vibrating motor at the bottom causes the basket to vibrate. The vibration rate is changed by varying the air pressure. Higher pressures produce higher frequencies. The basket is isolated from the housing, so very little vibration is transmitted to housing and piping.

An All-Stainless Steel Mini-Bag Filter For 3000 psi Service
Ideal for spray nozzle protection

Here’s the best answer yet to the need for a small yet rugged final filter for liquids at pressures to 3000 psi. The filter contains a stainless wire mesh “bag” with a 14 square inch area. It can be thrown away when dirty, or cleaned and reused. Flow is from the inside to the outside of the element; contaminant stays trapped inside. The straight through design has no elbows, turns or internal pockets to create pressure drops or collect sediment, and they’re easy to flush out.

The mini-bag filter is very easy to service too. Just spin the knurled collar loose, push the housing out of line a bit, remove the element, slip a new or clean one in, and you’re back in business. The seal is a special, Teflon-encapsulated Viton O-ring. It can be tightened by turning the knurled collar, usually by hand.

Specifications

• Pressure rating: 3000 psi
• Differential pressure rating: 25 psi
• Port sizes: 3/8 inch NPT
• Micron retention ratings (absolute):25, 50, 75, 100 125 and 150
