Stainless Steel 304/316 Multi-Cartridge Filter Housing For Pharmaceutical Industry

Cartridge filter system offers wide range of flow capacities & contaminant holding capacities. Cartridge filter housing diameters can accommodate around 1 to 500 cartridges. Cartridge filters are normally used as polishing filter in almost all process industries. Cartridge filter is constructed of filter housing, filter cartridges, tube sheet, positive sealing arrangement for cartridge depending upon type of cartridge & choice of end connections. Positive sealing arrangement for cartridge filter assures no particle migration or fiber migration, even after high differential pressures.

Operation

Contaminated fluid enters the housing and is distributed evenly around the filter cartridges. Filtration takes place from outside to inside. Solids are collected on the outside of filter cartridges & clear filtrate is collected at outlet.

CHUNKE Housing Cartridge Filter Installation

 

Figure 1 below shows a common filter housing installation setup. This setup will facilitate filter installation and the sanitization and sterilization of filters during use.

 

CHUNKE Cartridge Filters should, at minimum, be installed in a housing system as shown in Figure 1 with the valves and pressure gauges in place for the “Product In” line. If the cartridge is being installed in a system that will be heat sanitized or steam sterilized, then the lines, valves, pressure gauges and temperature gauges for “Hot Water In” and/or “Steam In” should also be in place. If the filter is to be integrity tested, then the mass flow meter portion of the system in Figure 1 should also be installed.

Procedures for integrity testing filters as well as procedures for hot water sanitization, steam sterilization and chemical sanitization and to get more info please contact with us.

 

Figure 1. Cartridge filter housing installation diagram

 

1. Shut off flow by first closing valve V1, and making sure that valves V2, V3 , V4 and V5 are also closed. Then close all other valves open during operation. (Caution: Do not open the housing until pressure gauges G4 and G5 both show “0” pressure.)
2. .Open Vent (Valve 7) and Drain (Valve 6) to empty housing of liquid. Open downstream drain valve V10, if desired.
3. Remove the housing bowl and remove the old filter.
4. Open the bag containing the new filter at the end with o-rings and wet the o-rings with water or the fluid beingvfiltered. DO NOT TOUCH THE FILTER WITH BARE HANDS OR FINGERS.
5. .With the new filter still in the bag, push the o-ring end into the filter housing head using a twisting motion to assure a complete seal. If the filter has a 2-226 or 2-223-Tab o-ring configuration, make sure that the locking tabs engagev with the tab holders in the housing head. (To prevent inadvertent contamination of filter, do not directly touch filters with your hands.)
6. Remove the bag and replace the filter housing bowl.
7. Close the Vent (V7) and Drain (V6 and/or V10).

 

Quality Standard
