Multi-Cartridge Filter Housings
Achieve superior filtration performance with our multi-cartridge filter housing systems, expertly engineered for high-capacity, continuous operation across water treatment, chemical processing, and other demanding industrial environments. Built from ASME-certified stainless steel, these housings deliver exceptional flow rates, corrosion resistance, and compliance with stringent safety standards.
What Is a Multi-Cartridge Filter Housing System?
A multi-cartridge filter housing is a pressure-rated vessel that accommodates 2 to over 100 filter cartridges, allowing large volumes of fluids to be filtered in a single pass. These systems consolidate multiple filtration stages into a compact, easy-to-maintain unit, ideal for operations requiring high uptime, reduced downtime, and consistent product quality.

Why Our Stainless Steel Multi-Cartridge Filter Housings Stand Out
Engineered for Extreme Durability
Constructed from 304 or 316L stainless steel for long-term corrosion resistance.Optional ASME Section VIII-compliant designs for safe use under high pressure and temperature conditions.
Optimized Flow and Scalability
Internal architecture is engineered to reduce pressure drop and turbulence.Modular configurations allow expansion from 2 to 144 filter cartridges to match your process requirements.
Tool-Free Maintenance
Quick-release clamps and tri-clamp sanitary fittings streamline cartridge replacement and routine cleaning.Vertical design promotes efficient drainage and easy inspection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of a multi-cartridge filter housing?
A multi-cartridge filter housing is designed to hold multiple filter cartridges within a single vessel, enabling high-capacity filtration of liquids in industrial applications. These housings increase throughput, reduce maintenance downtime, and provide consistent contaminant removal across large flow rates.
How do I choose the right size multi-cartridge filter housing for my application?
Consider factors like flow rate (GPM or LPM), operating pressure, temperature range, fluid viscosity, and the type of contaminants to be removed. For example, a chemical plant may require a 24-cartridge stainless steel housing rated for 150 PSI, while a water treatment facility might need a 72-cartridge housing for continuous operation. Use our [Filtration Sizing Calculator] for accurate recommendations.
What types of filter cartridges are compatible with your housings?
Our housings are compatible with a wide range of standard and specialty filter cartridges, including:
• Pleated cartridges for fine filtration
• String-wound and melt-blown for depth filtration
• Activated carbon block filters for chemical and odor removal
• High-performance membranes like PVDF, PES, or PTFE for critical applications
All housings support 10″, 20″, 30″, and 40″ lengths.
Can these housings handle corrosive or high-temperature fluids?
Yes. Made from 304 or 316L stainless steel, our housings resist corrosion in aggressive chemical environments and withstand extreme temperatures from -40°F to 350°F. Optional PTFE or Viton® seals further enhance chemical compatibility.
What industries use multi-cartridge filter housings the most?
These systems are widely used across:
• Municipal water treatment and desalination
• Oil and gas production
• Pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing
• Food and beverage processing
• Power plants and cooling tower systems
Each industry benefits from the high-flow, low-maintenance, and long service life these housings provide.
Are your filter housings ASME certified?
Yes. We offer ASME Section VIII, Div 1-certified multi-cartridge housings for applications requiring code compliance and pressure vessel reliability. Certificates and documentation are provided with each unit.
How easy is it to maintain or replace cartridges?
Our designs feature:
• Quick-release clamps or swing bolt closures for fast access
• Tri-clamp or flanged connections for sanitary or industrial installs
• Tool-free cartridge replacement that minimizes downtime
Regular maintenance takes minutes, not hours.
Can I integrate your housings into existing systems?
Absolutely. We provide customizable inlet/outlet ports, mounting legs, drain/vent connections, and optional differential pressure gauges. Retrofit kits are available for most legacy systems.
