What is Carbon Steel Filter Housing?
FiltEdge’s Carbon Steel Filter Housing is made of a steel alloy consisting of iron and carbon, and is available in bag filters, basket filters and automatic backwash filters. It is a container that combines filtration and pressure bearing, and is the core machine of the whole filtration system.
It can be mainly used in water treatment, chemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, food and beverage, metal processing and other industries for solid-liquid separation and clarification of your liquid.
Our single industrial carbon steel filter housing can handle large flow rate of over 5000GPM, and can be connected in parallel to expand the flow capacity for you according to the actual flow rate.
We have more than 100 types of carbon steel filter housing for you to choose from, covering a wide range of sizes, accuracies, pressures and flow rates. It is a cost-effective filtration solution.
Types of Carbon Steel Filter Housing
FiltEdge mainly provides two types of carbon steel filter housing and backwash filter. There are dozens of types of carbon steel filter housing, you can provide us the working condition information, we will help you to analyze and select the options. Or you can contact us to send carbon steel filter housing catalog.
Carbon Steel Bag Filter HousingA single filter can be installed with 1-32 filter bags, and you can choose the suitable number of bags according to your flow rate.
Heavy-Duty Basket Strainer (CS series)The filter basket can be fully recycled and has higher structural stability than filter bag, especially suitable for coarse filtration.

Sandblasted, polished, coated, pickled and passivated as your choice.
Choose from PTFE, EPDM, Viton, Silicone depending on required temperature and compliance.
Carbon steel filters can be upgraded to SS304/SS316.
Internal flow channel design to reduce pressure drop.
Conventional filters are 0.6-1.0MPa, and you can customize 2.5MPa reinforced filters.
The filter has a labor-saving structure design, which is convenient for one person to maintain the equipment, and can also be upgraded to an unmanned full-automatic filter.
Carbon Steel Filter Housing's Bag Compatibility
FiltEdge’s carbon steel filter housing is compatible with international standard and FSI standard filter bags, regardless of brand, as long as the size and specification can be matched, which makes it convenient for you to stock up on filtration accessories and reduce the cost of use. In addition, the bag design inside the carbon steel filter housing can be replaced with a filter basket. It mainly depends on the impurity content in your working condition and whether you require high precision for the filtration effect. If you don’t know very well, you can send us your working condition and we will help you to analyze which kind of filter to use.

Applications for Carbon Steel Filter Housing
The Carbon Steel Filter Housing is an economical filtration device that can handle high flow rates of liquids with high solids content for you. Once the housing is specially treated, or used in conjunction with other filters, it can filter corrosive and viscous slurries for you.
Like pharmaceuticals, Carbon Steel Filter Housing is not primarily used for food and beverage filtration, but basically for raw water and boiler water filtration to protect your core equipment. For applications such as edible oil refining, syrup clarification, bottled water pre-filtration, and wine decontamination, it is recommended that you purchase sanitary stainless steel filters in order to meet the requirements of FDA certification and ensure your food safety.
In applications such as lube oil de-particulation, fuel oil fine filtration, amine/glycol dewatering cycles, and pipeline weld slag interception, we reinforce the support blues of the carbon steel filter housing and optimize the design of the flow paths, among other things, to prevent instantaneous pressure fluctuations from breaching the filter bag and reducing your maintenance costs. If necessary, you can also upgrade to a duplex switching system.
Generally widely used in RO membrane protection, water reuse, descaling wastewater, cooling tower bypass filtration.We often effectively use multi-bag filters with reliably long-life filter bags, or smartly combined with basket filters to thoroughly solve the problems of extremely large filter footprint and frequently impurity clogging.
In the chemical industry, carbon steel filter housing is often made with PTFE lining or epoxy coating in order to prevent it from being chemically corroded to help you eliminate tiny leaks and improve your production safety index. It provides you with a cost-effective filtration solution and is often used in catalyst recovery, acid and alkaline liquid decontamination, solvent refining, and final clarification before drum filling.
In grinding machine cutting fluid circulation, parts cleaning line, emulsion degreasing applications, in order to prevent your filter bag from being cut by metal particles, or sludge clusters clogging the filter bag, and to avoid having to change the filter bag once every half an hour, it is recommended that you choose the basket type carbon steel Filter Housing, or the combination of the basket type carbon steel filter and the bag type carbon steel filter, in order to reduce the operating cost of your equipment.

FiltEdge
Stainless steel vs carbon steel filter housing mainly depends on what kind of working condition you need to apply. Stainless steel has a stronger ability to withstand corrosion, and a good surface treatment for stainless steel filters can meet the requirements of the sterility level.Carbon steel filter housing for oil, non-corrosive circulating water or neutral chemicals, it is completely sufficient. Its internal good epoxy coating, rust resistance is also strong. Compared with stainless steel filter, the price of carbon steel filter is nearly 30%-50% lower, which is very cost-effective.
FiltEdge’s carbon steel housing can be used for 10 years routinely; bag type carbon steel filter housing usually needs to replace the filter bag in 1-3 months; basket type carbon steel filter housing’s filter basket is basically a permanent accessory as long as it is not violently damaged, and can be used again after washing. The specific service life of your filters and accessories depends on your filter media and maintenance.
FiltEdge carbon steel filter housings work on the same principle as conventional filters. The slurry enters the filter, and through the action of pressure, it passes through the filter bag or filter basket, which intercepts the solid particles of impurities and allows the clarified liquid to flow out. The residual impurities need to manually open the cover and remove the filter bag/basket for replacement or cleaning. The filtration principle of automatic carbon steel backwashing filter is the same, only that the manual slag discharge becomes automated, without manual maintenance operation.
Our carbon steel filter housing has ISO, CE certification and Material Test Certificate (MTC). If you need, we can design and produce according to ASME standard. If you need FDA approval, please purchase food grade and sanitary stainless steel filters.
