Yes. Filtedge filter housings are frequently used in skid-mounted filtration systems based on your requirements. They facilitate consolidated transportation, rapid installation, and on-site commissioning.
The maintenance cycle for Filtedge filters depends on fluid characteristics, solid content, operating conditions, and filter model.
This primarily depends on matching your filter’s precision level with contaminant content. Proper selection and matching to operating conditions can extend the service life of filter bags and cartridges, reducing replacement frequency.
Filtedge filter housings typically use differential pressure gauges or differential pressure monitoring devices for monitoring.
When the differential pressure reaches the set value, it will prompt you to perform maintenance or cleaning on the equipment.
When the filter media in your filter becomes clogged, the system differential pressure of Filtedge filters will increase, indicating that the filter needs to be cleaned or the filter media replaced. Of course, proper selection during the filter selection stage can effectively reduce the risk of clogging.
Filtedge’s fully automatic series filters can be cleaned without disassembly.

Filtedge filter housings are primarily used for filtering chemical liquids, sewage, wastewater, and other fluids, or for solid recovery. They serve as the core filtration component within the entire filtration system.
A filter housing is merely a critical component within the filtration system, responsible for housing various filter elements and completing the filtration process. The filtration system is a complete system designed based on the liquid requiring filtration. It includes the liquid inlet piping, control system, valves, pumps, and filter housing—a comprehensive filtration setup, not a single component.
Bag filter housings offer precision ranging from hundreds of microns to tens of microns, suitable for medium-to-low precision filtration. They are ideal for liquids with low solid content and medium-to-high flow rates. Cartridge filter housings achieve precision down to 1 micron or higher, providing high-precision filtration. They are best suited for liquids requiring deep filtration and are typically used in the middle or final stages of a filtration system.
For high-flow liquid filtration, we recommend multi-bag filter housings or fully automatic self-cleaning filter housings. Depending on flow rate, you can enhance filtration efficiency by adding more bags or implementing parallel flow splitting while maintaining stable filtration performance.
Yes. A filter housing designed to suit factors like flow rate, opening mechanism, automation requirements, liquid pH, and temperature better aligns with actual operating conditions. This reduces maintenance frequency for issues like clogging, pressure drop, wear, and filter bag replacement, thereby extending equipment lifespan and lowering long-term maintenance costs.
For varying requirements, some filter housings can achieve versatility by selecting intermediate values in material, pressure rating, and sealing methods to suit multiple liquid filtration needs. However, extreme liquid properties, high temperatures, pressures, or viscosities typically necessitate custom designs to ensure stable and reliable equipment operation.
A filter vessel typically refers to the main body of the filter, i.e., the body section. A filter housing, structurally, encompasses the main body, the internal structure that holds the filter elements, valves, control systems, and other components as a complete assembly. However, people often use “filter vessel” interchangeably with “filter housing.”
A multi-bag filter housing can accommodate multiple filter bags internally to handle higher flow rates and can be used in conjunction with other filters. A single-bag filter housing can only hold one filter bag, featuring a compact design intended for low-flow liquid applications.
