MODULINE bag filter systems are used for high flow rate filtration applications where the flow rate cannot be interrupted for filter bag replacement.  The MODULINE design is cost savings alternative to  MAXILINE HE-T duplexed multiple bag filter housings.

 

The MODULINE bag filter system offers a flexible approach for high flow rate filtration applications.  Instead of a single housing having as many as eight #2 size filter bag chambers, the MODULINE bag filter system can have an unlimited number of filter bag stations in support of higher flow rates and filtration efficiency.

 

The underlying multiple bag filter housing design used for duplexed filter housings is the MAXILINE-HE and as a multiple bag filter housing it has many personnel friendly features such as a single chamber cover with spring assisted hinge.  Certainly duplexed MAXILINE bag filters are the most compact filtration design for flow rates up to 1600 GPM.

 

The MODULINE system is not restricted to only eight filter bag chambers because the concept is installing standard #2 size bag filter vessels onto a common inlet and outlet manifold, so you can achieve the same functionality no matter how many filter housing are used and each housing can be isolated independently for changing its filter bag. 

 

Significant cost savings

Since MODULINE bag filer systems are made of standard components the cost difference between a duplexed MAXILINE-HE and MODULINE is tremendous; an eight chamber 316 stainless steel duplexed MAXILINE-HE costs about $127,000 whereas the equivalent MODULINE design costs only $76,000, a 40% savings!

 

Flexibility

The MODULINE filtration system provides flexibility with the underlying filter housing design.  You can construct a MODULINE system using TOPLINE bag filter housings for higher filtration efficiencies and to match this level of efficiency, use duplexed MAXILINE-MDE housings, however standard TOPLINE bag filter housings can also be electo polished and supplied with tri-clamp connections whereas the MAXILINE-MDE cannot; so for high flow rate sanitary applications MODULINE is the only alternative.

 

It is also possible to build-in support for high flow rates in the future by using a manifold with extra connections to be attached to additional bag filter housings in the future as needed.  Our standard MODULINE design consists of two to eight bag filter housings and for higher flow rates you can connect additional MODULINEs.

 

The MODULINE bag filter systems are based upon the TOPLINE, SIDELINE, FLOWLINE and FLOWLINEII bag filter vessel designs.  Please review each of their respective webpages for a more detailed description of which version is best for your application.
