Filter Housings Specifically Designed for Liquid Filtration

FBT Series sanitary housings are designed specifically for liquid filtration in the food and beverage industry1.

  • Enhanced cleanability and microbiological safety due to crevice-free, polished and hygienic design
  • Corrosion resistance and durability with 316L stainless steel wetted parts and high-quality welds
  • Cost-effective without sacrificing quality and performance

FBT Housings are available in a standard sanitary design allowing a variety of connection options, or in a 3-A sanitary design, which meets the requirements of 3-A Sanitary Standards #10-04.

Features and Benefits of Filter Housings

  • T-style multi-round housing • Suitable for flow rates up to 227 liters/min (60 USgpm) depending upon cartridge type and size
  • Suitable for CIP and SIP
  • Beveled housing tubesheet and aseptic-style housing seal provides enhanced drainability and a crevice-free connection between the housing head and bowl
  • Electropolished head and elbows and mirror polished bowl ensures optimal cleanability in critical areas while maintaining cost-effectiveness
  • New cartridge locking design features additional cut-outs to traditional half-moon portions of the Code 7 bayonet locks, enhancing cleanability and drainability

  • Operator-friendly V-Band housing closure simplifies handling
  • Housings with clamp coupling and butt weld connection options meet the design requirements of 3-A Sanitary Standards #10-04
  • Design satisfies EC Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC, ATEX 94/9/EC Group II Category 2
