What Is FiltEdge's Jacketed Filter Housing?
FiltEdge’s jacketed filter housing is a filter that adds a layer of insulated housing unit to the regular filter housing. It provides a stable temperature for your crystalline, high-viscosity, coagulation-prone slurries, keeping the slurry fluid and allowing for smooth, efficient filtration, reducing your consumable scrap rate and avoiding clogging that can cause downtime.
You can use jacketed filter housings to filter hot melt, asphalt, chocolate, highly concentrated polymers, and pharmaceuticals with temperature-sensitive ingredients.
FiltEdge can customize a jacketed filter to fit your production line, either warming or cooling, depending on your needs.
Types of Jacketed Filter Housing
Single Bag Jacketed Filter HousingCompact, suitable for small and medium flow lines
Multi-Bag Jacketed Filter Housing2-23 pockets with multiple labor-saving closures for chemical and polymer applications.
Single Core Jacketed Filter HousingHigh-precision hygienic filtration for small and medium-sized pharmaceuticals, syrups, oils and fats, biotechnology, etc.
Multi-cartridge Jacketed Filter HousingCombination of high flow rate and high precision to prevent crystallization of liquids.
Steam Type Jacketed Filter HousingRapid heating by means of high-temperature steam jackets for liquids such as chocolate and hot-melt adhesives, which tend to solidify easily.
Hot Water Type Jacketed Filter HousingUtilizing hot water jacket to achieve heat preservation, can be changed to cold water to achieve low temperature filtration effect according to your process requirements.
Heat Transfer Oil Jacketed Filter HousingJacketed filter housing for thermal oil circulation at temperatures up to 300°C, especially suitable for bitumen and heavy polymers.
Features of Jacketed Filter Housing
FiltEdge researchers and designers are constantly optimizing the performance of Jacketed Filter Housings to provide you with improved filtration efficiency and production safety.
Not only the filter itself can withstand the pressure, but also the jacket can withstand 0.6-1.0MPa, and 2.5MPa can be customized.
Optimization of flow channel guidance, fully let the temperature wrap around the filter, no low-temperature dead angle.
Cleaner cleaning, no residual liquid, avoid liquid cross-contamination.
According to the thermal oil/hot water/steam you choose to use, we make different inlet and outlet for you.
Use high temperature resistant Viton/EPDM/FFKM/PTFE, no possibility of hardening and brittleness of the seal ring, effectively preventing the media from mixing.
SS316/SS304, to provide you with stable production operation.
Sanitary surface treatment, Ra <0.4μm, can obtain FDA approval.
For heavy-duty lids, it can save a lot of downtime.
Jacketed Filter Housing Design
FiltEdge In order to guarantee that the jacketed filter housing can have no single low-temperature point, we have adopted a flow channel optimized design, no matter whether you are using thermal conductive oil/steam, or hot water, it can cover the filter core 360° to allow the temperature to fully diffuse, to avoid cooling crystallization of filtered liquids, and to improve your filtration efficiency.
Zero Leakage Jacketed Filter Housing
Fear of inconsistency between the internal temperature of the filter and the jacket, resulting in thermal expansion and contraction of the filter metal housing and tearing of the welded parts due to internal stress, FiltEdge’s jacketed filter housing has been tested by 1.5 times of hydrostatic pressure and third-party X-ray testing of both the internal filter and the jacket. This ensures that your filter can withstand the pressure, has no leaks or breaks, and protects the quality of your product.
Easy Maintenance Jacketed Filter Housing
Our jacketed filter housing has a quick-open structure that saves you time in opening the lid, and the zero dead space design inside makes it easier and more efficient to clean the inside of the filter. Every time you open the cover for maintenance, you can save about 1 hour, which greatly reduces your downtime.
Applications for Jacketed Filter Housing
Whenever you need to filter liquids that tend to cool and solidify, your filtration system will need to use jacketed filter housing to maintain temperature and keep the material flowing. The following are the most common scenarios:
- Food and beverage: chocolate, cocoa butter, syrup, honey, palm oil, margarine, etc.
- Fine chemicals: hot melt adhesives, resins, asphalt, heavy oils, binders, lithium battery pastes, etc.
- Pharmaceuticals: pharmaceutical syrups, blood products, vaccines, ointments, emulsions, etc.
- Petrochemicals: wax products, paints, inks, etc.

This depends on the characteristics of the fluid you are filtering and the precision required. If your liquid flow is large, viscosity is very high, and impurities are many, it is more suitable for Bag Jacketed Filter, because the filter bag has more capacity than the cartridge, it is not easy to be clogged and cause downtime, and the cost of replacing the bag in the later stage is also lower.
If you have higher requirements for precision, the need for thorough clarification or sterilization, it is better to choose the core jacketed filter, because the precision of the cartridge can reach the sub-micron level.
Our jacketed filter housing adopts a dead-end design, which is not easy to harbor bacteria and supports CIP cleaning.
No. The inlet and outlet of Jacketed Filter Housing can be customized according to your piping layout and interface, such as side inlet and bottom outlet, convection type, flat inlet and flat outlet on the same side, and other directions. The interface standard supports ANSI/DIN/JIS flanges, sanitary quick-fit clamps or threads, and the pipe diameter can be customized from 1 inch to 12 inches.
The electric heating will make the filter unevenly heated, the cooling point inside the housing, which will easily lead to the solidification of your filtered liquid, some fluids, some solid particles will affect the filtration effect and filtration efficiency, and it will increase the cost of consumables, as well as the waste of your slurry. Secondly, some working conditions have the hidden danger of flammable and explosive, and the winding electric heating is easy to cause safety accidents.
