Filtration Housings from Rosedale Products

Filter Cartridges from Rosedale Products

While establishing an industrial filtration system, one important decision is whether to utilize filter housings with filter cartridges or filter bags. While both are widely used in a vast range of industries and applications, they each function in very different ways to achieve slightly different outcomes.

Rosedale Products is a leading technology developer of liquid filtration systems and waste minimization products. We are here to help you determine if a filter bag housing or filter cartridge housing is best suited to your application.

Filter Bag Housings

Also known as filter bag vessels, a filter bag housing is a casing around a filter cartridge or bag in a liquid stream. The bag intercepts the contaminants, particulates, or other impurities within the housing or vessel. The purified liquid can then continue through the filtration system. As the bag filter within is easily changed, costs are saved by not having to replace possibly expensive equipment.

Benefits of Filter Bag Housings

Filter bag housings are easy to open without any special tools or equipment so that the inner element can be cleaned or replaced with ease. Filter bag vessels typically experience low pressure drops and feature permanently piped housings. They’re easy to customize to your system, coming in single filter housings, multi-basket, cartridge, duplex, and multiplex units. Filter housings are generally more effective than filter cartridges when it comes to filtering out larger solids.

Industrial Applications for Filter Bag Vessels

Bag Filter housings support industrial-grade filters throughout the filtration process, and they can be found in a wide range of applications and industries. As they can be used so broadly, consider the following factors as you choose a filter bag housing:

  • Maximum pressure and temperature
  • Chemical and physical composition
  • Type of duty
  • What needs removal
  • Maximum flow rate

All these variables will impact the exact filter bag housings for your application.

Filter Cartridges

Filter cartridges are used to capture contaminants and remove particles from water or other industrial liquids. Unfiltered liquid enters the filter cartridge and is dispersed. Any contaminants are caught while allowing the filtered liquid to continue passing through the filtration system. They can be made of various materials, including stainless steel, to fit your exact application.

Benefits of Cartridges for Filtration Systems

Filter cartridges are uniquely versatile as they have considerable flow capabilities. Cartridges for filtration systems are easy to clean and maintain, making them a good option for applications where cleanliness is a top concern. Due to the cartridge construction, filter cartridges can be used for surface or depth filtration. Cartridges for filtration systems are particularly effective at filtering small particles.

Industrial Applications for Filter Cartridges

While versatile cartridge filters are suited and used throughout many industries, they are particularly useful within food and beverage applications as hygienic conditions must be constantly maintained. Cartridge filters are also recommended for any industrial application where liquid purification is your most critical priority.

Additionally, cartridges for filtration systems are often used in other processing or manufacturing applications, including:

  • Water purification
  • Cosmetics
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Electric utilities
  • Hydraulic fluids
  • Bulk chemicals
