What Is the Prolite Filter Housing?
The Prolite filter housing has an AISI 304 stainless steel body and retains particles in liquids with a bag filter or cartridge filters. Dirty liquid enters at the upper side of the housing, passes through the filter and leaves clean at the lower opposite side. Full bags or cartridges are easily replaced by opening the clamp lid.
The Prolite series is designed to meet the need for a stainless steel filter housing at a budget-friendly cost. Because it works with standard bag and cartridge filters in any micron rating, both the initial investment and consumable costs stay under control.
The series consists of two models: the Single Bag Filter Housing and the 4-Cartridge Filter Housing. Both models have a clamp lid, a silicone gasket, a special compression system and a pressure gauge.

Filtration Architecture and Working Principle
Inlet into the Body
Dirty liquid enters the filter housing through the inlet connection on the upper side.
Filtration with Bags or Cartridges
The liquid passes through a bag or cartridge filter of the required micron rating, and particles are retained in the filter. The compression system prevents filter bypass.
Clean Liquid Outlet
The filtered liquid continues into the line through the outlet connection on the lower opposite side. Pressure is monitored with a pressure gauge.

Filtration Precision and Compatible Filters
The micron rating is a property of the bag or cartridge fitted inside, not of the housing. The Prolite filter housing works with standard bag and cartridge filters in any micron rating.
- Bag Filter
- Bags 180 mm in diameter and 230, 380, 430 and 810 mm long, with polypropylene, stainless steel or galvanised steel collars.
- Cartridge Filter
- All cartridge filters 20″, 30″ and 40″ long in any micron rating; cartridge diameter varies.

- Clamp Lid
- The lid opens and closes with a clamp; a silicone gasket provides the seal, and filter changes are quick and practical.
Prolite Filter Housing Inlet/Outlet Connection Types
The Prolite filter housing is made with four inlet/outlet connection types to suit your piping, and with a clamp lid:
Muff Connection
Muff-connected inlet/outlet; DN25 – DN100.
Nipple Connection
Nipple-connected inlet/outlet; DN25 – DN100.
Flange Connection
Flanged inlet/outlet; DN25 – DN100.
Union Connection
