SS Cartridge Housing is a housing for cartridge filters made of stainless steel (SS) - usually type SS304 or SS316, depending on the level of corrosion resistance required. This component is used in liquid or gas filtration systems in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, and water treatment industries.
Here is a more detailed explanation:
Main Functions
SS Cartridge Housing functions to:
-
Accommodate the cartridge filter (usually a hollow cylinder of fiber or membrane).
-
Direct fluid flow so that it passes through the filter element effectively.
-
Withstand the operating pressure of the filtration system (because it is made of strong stainless steel).
-
Protect the filter element from physical damage or external contamination.
General Components
-
Body Housing - the main stainless steel housing.
-
Head Cover / Cap - the top part that can be opened to replace the cartridge.
-
Inlet and Outlet - fluid inlet and outlet.
-
Vent and Drain Valve - to remove air or discharge residual fluid.
-
Clamp / Bolt Locking System - lock between the body and cap.
-
Support Plate & O-ring Seal - to ensure the cartridge sits tight and does not leak.
Types Based on Number of Cartridges
-
Single Cartridge Housing → only 1 filter cartridge (usually for small capacity).
-
Multi Cartridge Housing → contains 3, 5, 7, 12, or more cartridges (for large industrial capacity).
