Duplex Filter Housing
Efficient Filtration | Long Service Life | Customizable Options
Our Duplex Filter Housing is the ultimate solution for continuous liquid filtration in industrial applications. Designed for efficiency and durability, it ensures uninterrupted operation, protects critical equipment, and meets the highest industry standards.
When fluid enters the filter housing, it passes through a filter screen tailored to specific specifications. Solid impurities are effectively trapped, and the clean filtrate is discharged through the outlet. For cleaning, the removable filter housing can be easily detached, cleaned, and reinstalled, making maintenance quick and hassle-free.
Dual-Stage Switching Filter for Continuous Operation
A standout feature of the Duplex Filter Housing is its dual-stage switching mechanism. By utilizing two three-way ball valves, the system integrates two single-cylinder filters on a shared base. This design enables seamless cleaning without interrupting operations, ensuring uninterrupted performance and maximum efficiency.

Applications of the Duplex Filter Housing
The Duplex Filter Housing is a versatile solution designed to meet the filtration needs of a wide range of industries. Here are some specific examples of how it can be applied:
Installation and Maintenance
Protect the Filter Element
The filter element, comprising the filter housing and stainless steel mesh, is the core component of the filter. Since the stainless steel mesh is prone to wear, it requires careful handling and protection to ensure optimal performance.Regular Cleaning to Prevent Blockages
Over time, impurities accumulate within the filter element, leading to increased pressure drop and reduced flow rate. To maintain efficiency, it is crucial to clean the filter element regularly and remove any impurities.Handle with Care During Cleaning
When cleaning the filter element, take extra care to avoid deforming or damaging the stainless steel wire mesh. Any damage to the mesh can compromise the purity of the filtered medium, potentially leading to equipment damage, including compressors, pumps, and instruments.Replace Damaged Components Immediately
If the stainless steel wire mesh becomes deformed or damaged, it must be replaced promptly to ensure the filter continues to meet design specifications and protect your equipment effectively.
