Bag Housings

The 80 Series is a comprehensive range of bag filter housings that includes a wide selection of styles to suit almost all liquid applications. The 81 Series is designed to suit mini bags for low flow / low solid applications. The 84 Series range is a free standing single bag housing and the 85 Series and 86 Series (86A and 86B) offer robust construction, which suit all areas of chemical and liquid processing plants. We also offer the 88 Series range of multi-bag housings for higher flow applications.

81 Series Mini Bag Housing

Compact, Economical Filtration for Low-Pressure Applications
The 81 Series Mini is a cost-effective housing designed for low-pressure filtration tasks where simplicity and budget are key. Its compact form factor and straightforward maintenance make it a practical alternative to cast stainless steel strainers. Available in single or double length configurations, this top-opening housing features a Vee clamp for easy access and a side inlet with bottom outlet for efficient drainage. Only the basket requires removal during servicing, and it accepts Amazon and industry-standard bags ranging from 1–1000μm. Optional bolted closures and heating jackets are available.

81A Series High-Pressure Mini Bag Housing

Reliable Filtration for Higher-Pressure Processes
Engineered for pressures up to 21 bar g, the 81A Series provides a robust solution for compact, high-pressure filtration. Its swing-bolted closure ensures secure, tool-assisted access, while the removable basket allows for quick cleaning. This housing is ideal as a replacement for cast strainers and supports 8” (P3) and 14” (P4) filter bags with micron ratings from 1–1000μm. Fully compatible with Amazon and standard filter bags.

84 Series Standard-Duty Bag Housing

Flexible, Free-Standing Filtration for Continuous Operation
The 84 Series offers a compact, free-standing housing designed for continuous filtration processes requiring high flow rates and minimal hold-up volume. With a side inlet and outlet, it handles pressures up to 10 bar g and features a top opening with either a Vee clamp or optional Rathmann closure. Compatible with 16” (P1), 32” (P2), and 48” triple-length bags, this housing suits applications with limited footprint and supports micron ratings from 1–1000μm.

85 Series Adjustable Batch Process Housing

Versatile Design for Changing Processes
The 85 Series is tailored for batch operations with frequent product changes. Its adjustable legs and bottom outlet offer flexibility for varied installation requirements. Featuring a standard cast Vee clamp or optional Rathmann closure, it handles pressures up to 10 bar g and accepts P1, P2, and 48” triple-length filter bags. Widely used in chemical and liquid processing industries, it supports a broad micron range from 1–1000μm.

86A Series Top Entry Compact Filter Housing

Efficient & Safe Design for Liquid Processing
The 86A Series features a cast top-entry configuration with reduced internal volume, enhancing safety and efficiency for chemical, high-temperature, and hazardous liquid applications. With a top inlet and vent, bottom outlet, and retained hinged lid, it allows safe and easy access. Available in 316L stainless steel, it supports pressures up to 10 bar g at 150°C and flow rates up to 30 m³/hr. Compatible with P1 (16”) and P2 (32”) bags across the 1–1000μm range.

86B Series In-Line Bag Filter Housing

Streamlined, In-Line Design for Simplified Installation
The 86B Series is designed with an integrated in-line flow path, offering efficient, low-volume filtration and simplified installation. Its cast head features a smooth internal design with minimal product hold-up. A hinged lid allows for easy filter changes, and the housing is well-suited for high-temperature or hazardous fluid applications. Compatible with all standard P1 and P2 bags from 1–1000μm.

88 Series Multi-Bag Filter Housing

High Flow, Multi-Bag Design for Demanding Applications
Built for large-scale liquid filtration, the 88 Series supports up to 12 filter bags and is ideal for high-flow processes with frequent product changes. Featuring a standard Rathmann bolted closure with manual davit, it includes a side inlet and bottom outlet for optimal drainage. Rated for pressures up to 10 bar g, it accommodates P1, P2, and 48” triple-length bags with micron ratings from 1–1000μm. Commonly used in paint, chemical, and petrochemical sectors.

89 Series High-Pressure Free-Standing Housing

Versatile, High-Capacity Filtration for Industrial Use
The 89 Series is a free-standing, high-pressure housing designed for efficient liquid processing in industrial environments. With a pressure rating of up to 16 bar g, it features a top opening with hinged cover and screw clamps, and a side inlet with bottom outlet for complete chamber drainage. The clean chamber includes a dished end for easy maintenance, and the leg-mounted design ensures stable installation. Compatible with P1 and P2 bags from 1–1000μm, it’s ideal for chemical, food, and general industrial applications.
