The Right Equipment For Your Need
Whether you need an off-the-shelf solution or a custom-engineered design, our stainless-steel housings cover a wide range of process requirements. Use the table below to compare models and find the right fit.
Heating jackets are available to support temperature-sensitive processes, and stainless-steel holders can be used with Maxicaps® and Midicaps®. You may also be able to reduce cost by selecting a housing that falls under fluid group 2, which typically does not require approval from a notified body (according to PED 2014/68/EU).

Frequently Asked Questions
Filter housings are essential components in filtration systems, used in industries such as water treatment, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and chemical processing, where large volumes of medium require filtration.
A filter cartridge is a filter element that is typically inserted into a filter housing. It is reusable and replaceable and is often used in systems where the housing remains in place while the cartridge is changed. A filter capsule is a self-contained unit that includes both the filter membrane and the housing. It is designed for single-use applications and is disposed of entirely after use.
The benefit of stainless-steel filter housings is the multi-use function and the broad range of process parameters, e.g., higher temperature or pressure. This increases process flexibility, and the housing's lifespan ranges from several years to decades, thus contributing to sustainability efforts.
