Product description
Miniature Duplex Filter Systems
Miniature Liquid Filter Housings provide the ideal solution for straining and fine filtration at lower flow rates or when space is at a premium. Their compact size, low cost, and ability to accommodate a variety of filter media make Miniatures highly versatile.
Miniature Valved, Duplex Filter Systems allow increased flow rates by using both housings simultaneously. Two stainless steel ball valves, on the inlet and outlet of each vessel, function as shut-off valves, isolating individual housings from the filtering process. Each vessel operates independently, allowing continuous service during media removal and replacement.
Duplex Filter Systems are equipped with two inlet & two outlet connections. Alternate connection ports allow users the option of choosing the inlet and outlet site that best suits space and piping requirements. The remaining unused ports are sealed with (user-furnished) blind flanges. Alternate inlet and outlet connections may be ordered to allow the vessels to be placed directly in line with existing process piping. All housings are built to ASME specifications and are available in T-316 Stainless Steel or Carbon Steel.
Miniature Valved, Duplex Filter Systems use two #4 size (4″dia. x 14″ long) or #5 size (4″dia. x 24″ long) filter bags. They accommodate a variety of filter media, including Mesh and Micron Lined Baskets, Strainers, or Cartridges, making them extremely versatile for industrial, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, water, beverage, food and other process applications.
- 242 Models use #4 size filter bags, accessory baskets, or 10″ cartridges
- 252 Models use #5 size filter bags, accessory baskets, or 20″ cartridges
