ECOLINE BAG FILTER HOUSINGS Inexpensive bag filter housings for light duty applications

ECOLINE model bag filter housing is a “light duty” design for applications having operating pressures ≤ 100 PSI. The “ECO” portion of “ECOLINE” refers to its cost being less expensive than our other bag filter vessel designs. A significant reason for the reduced cost is the manufacturing technique used for forming the cylindrical housing – a process called hydroforming. Hydroforming the bag filter housing body eliminates the vertical weld seam used for traditionally fabricated bag filter housings and thus also eliminates welding, polishing and NDE procedures associated with those tasks. Another cost savings feature is the V-Clamp style quick-opening closure which simplifies filter bag access. The clamp can be opened/closed without special tools. ECOLINE bag filter housings are only available in 316SS material of construction and with 2″ FNPT (threaded) inlet/outlet connections.

A nice feature of the ECOLINE bag filter housing is that their chamber cover has a concave design to increase ullage within the vessel, thus reducing spillover and inadvertent contact with the process fluid. If you require a 150# design, consider the FLOWLINE II bag filter housing which shares the same hydro formed construction and evacuation cover design.

Optional features for ECOLINE filter bag vessels are differential pressure taps, powder epoxy coated adjustable steel mounting legs and the HAYFLOW upgrade option for increased flow capacity. These are also available in miniature sizes using #3 and #4 size filter bags for low flow rate applications benefitting from a smaller vessel size and reduced cost (refer to our MINILINE bag filter page).
