Sanitary T-Style Single Element Filter Housing

The Sanitary T-Style Single Element Filter Housing by Meissner Corporation is a single cartridge filter housing designed for clarification, sterilization, and high-purity filtration of liquids and gases. Constructed from electropolished 316L stainless steel, it offers durability and corrosion resistance. It accepts cartridge lengths of 5″, 10″, 20″, 30″, or 40″ and supports flow rates up to 20 gpm for liquids or 300 scfm for gases. The housing features a sanitary T-type flow configuration with inlet and outlet on the same centerline and includes quick-release closure clamps for easy cartridge replacement.

This 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 continuous or point-of-use service and small to medium batch processing. It is suitable for sterile or high purity filtration of bulk gases, fermentor gases, or tank venting services, providing high reliability and security in biopharmaceutical and related processes.

The housing accepts one cartridge filter with nominal lengths of 5″, 10″, 20″, 30″, or 40″. It supports flow rates up to 20 gpm (76 L/min) for liquids and 300 scfm (510 Nm¬≥/h) for gases. Constructed from electropolished 316L stainless steel, it features a smooth ultraclean surface finish with ‚⧠25 µmºin Ra wetted surfaces. Inlet and outlet connections are sanitary flanges sized 1″, 1.5″, or 2″. Optional thermal jackets, sanitary vent and drain valves, and closure types are available. Differential pressure ratings vary with flow but can reach up to 345 psid.

The housing’s true sanitary T-style design with inlet and outlet on the same centerline minimizes contamination risk by preventing entrapment or build-up of contaminants. Its electropolished 316L stainless steel construction ensures maximum durability and corrosion resistance. The quick-release closure clamp enables fast cartridge replacement. Additionally, it offers a smooth, ultraclean surface finish for enhanced cleanability and optional thermal jackets for steam or coolant circulation, making it highly suitable for critical high-purity and sterile filtration applications.

Yes, Meissner Filtration Products can custom engineer the Sanitary T-Style Single Element Filter Housing to meet specific process requirements. Customizations include surface finishes to 10 µmºin Ra, special inlet/outlet connections such as RF flanges, custom vent and drain placements, gauge ports, and thermal jacketing options. These modifications allow the housing to be tailored for unique design or process needs beyond the standard configurations.

Common complementary products include Single-Use Systems, M-Flex® TPE Tubing, M-Sil™ Braid Reinforced Silicone Tubing, UltraClamp™ Sanitary Clamps, and Universal Lab Stand. These products support fluid handling, connection, and mounting needs in biopharmaceutical manufacturing workflows.
