Filtration Housings

MAE provides a variety of standard design vessels to handle flow rates between 10 gpm to 2,500 gpm at pressure ratings ranging from 75 to 600 psi. For special system requirements, our engineers will custom design a system. Standard CM and UF design filter vessels are constructed from the highest quality carbon steel, 304 or 316 stainless steel and conform to ASME code standards.

Inline filter vessels come in two standards sizes 4.5" ID x 16" L, UF1-30 and 4.5" ID x 27.5 L, UF1-65. Both sizes come in two different designs (Band Clamp & Swing Bolt) and three different pressure ratings. All cover-sealing designs are easily accessible and don't require special tools to release the cover seal in order to access the filter bag or basket.

All 90 and 180 style filter bag/strainer vessels are designed with a recessed basket, a volume displacer permanently welded to the top cover, and a 304 stainless steel wire mesh retainer basket. Wire mesh baskets increase available filtration surface area by 30% compared to a perforated retainer basket. We offer our 90 and 180 size vessels in two different styles, UF and CQX, and a variety of pressure ratings with 150 psi being standard.

Multi-bag/strainer vessels offer large surface areas capable of handling up to 4800 gpm in a single housing. Increasing surface area allows for longer processing time prior to filter change-out. Containing anywhere from 2 to 24 baskets in a single vessel, our standard Side-inlet Side-outlet offers the greatest flexibility and doesn't require a platform to be built in order to chang-out or clean the filter elements or strainers (refer to diagram and charts).

MAE offers a full line of cartridge vessels. These systems are available in a variety of sizes capable of holding between 1 and 200 single or quadruple length string wound, molded or pleated cartridges. Our cartridge vessels are manufactured to the same high quality standards as our filter bag vessels.
