Sanitary T-Style SFE Filter Housing

The Sanitary T-Style SFE Filter Housing by Meissner Corporation is a small flow, sanitary filter housing designed for clarification, sterilization, and high-purity filtration of liquids and gases. It accepts one 2.5″ or 5″ cartridge filter with a 2.25″ outer diameter and is constructed from electropolished 316L stainless steel for maximum durability and corrosion resistance. The housing features a quick-release clamp for easy cartridge replacement and is suitable for continuous or point-of-use service.

The Sanitary T-Style SFE Filter Housing is used for clarification, sterilization, and high-purity filtration of liquids and gases. It is effective in critical sanitary or high purity service applications, including sterile filtration of bulk gases, fermentor gases, tank venting, and small batch processing. It provides high reliability and security for continuous or point-of-use service in biopharmaceutical and related processes.

The housing accepts single-open-ended (SOE) cartridge filters of nominal lengths 2.5″ (63.5 mm) or 5″ (127 mm) with a 2.25″ outer diameter. It supports flow rates up to 5 gpm for liquids and 70 scfm for gases. The housing is constructed from electropolished 316L stainless steel with a ≤ 25 µin Ra wetted surface finish. Service ratings are 250 psig at 70¬∞F for liquids and 125 psig at 70¬∞F for air/gases. Connections include 1″ sanitary flange inlet/outlet and 1/4″ hose barb vent/drain valves.

The Sanitary T-Style SFE Filter Housing features a true sanitary T-type flow configuration with inlet and outlet on the same centerline, minimizing dead legs and contamination risk. Its electropolished 316L stainless steel construction ensures maximum corrosion resistance and durability. The housing has an ultraclean surface finish to enhance cleanability and extremely low hold-up volume for high recovery of valuable liquids. Quick-release clamp closure allows fast cartridge replacement, and sanitary vent and drain valves facilitate venting, draining, sampling, or integrity testing.
