Bag filter vessels are widely used in industrial liquid filtration processes to remove solid particles, impurities, and contaminants from fluids. Designed for high flow rates, easy operation, and low maintenance, they provide a reliable and economical solution for industries such as water treatment, chemical processing, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and oil & gas.
Our bag filter housings are engineered with durable construction, flexible configurations, and high filtration efficiency, ensuring consistent performance in demanding environments.
A bag filter vessel (bag filter housing) is a pressure filtration system that uses a filter bag to capture solid particles from liquids.
The system typically consists of:
Filter housing (vessel body)
Filter bag (filtration medium)
Support basket
Inlet and outlet connections
It is ideal for coarse to fine filtration (1–2000 microns) and large-volume liquid processing.
1. Liquid Inlet
The fluid enters the vessel through the inlet pipe.
2. Filtration Process
• Liquid flows into the filter bag
• Solid particles are trapped inside the bag
• Clean liquid passes through and exits
3. Collection & Discharge
• Contaminants accumulate inside the bag
• Bag is replaced or cleaned when full
This simple yet effective process ensures high dirt-holding capacity and stable filtration performance.
