The high purity Sanitary Stainless Steel Lenticular Housings (SSSLH) have been designed to meet the exact sanitary quality standards of the pharmaceutical, biological, food and beverage, fine chemical, and microelectronics industries. The highly polished mirror finish of the 316L filter housings inside and out provide superior corrosion resistance and minimize the process fluid from adhering to the internal surfaces, thus enhancing the cleaning operation. The highly corrosive-resistant material is ideal because of its superior strength and chemical compatibility.
The SSSLH housings are designed for complete disassembly, allowing full access to all internal surfaces for easy cleaning, draining and sampling and are designed with a secure swing away bolt closure. The housings accommodate both the 12.0 and 16.0 inch diameter lenticular discs in multiple stack heights to offer a wide choice of filter media area and flow rates. Also available is Multiple Lenticular discs housings with shorter length center posts to add filter area flexibility.
The objective of our engineers was to design a lenticular filter housing that is aseptic, practical and convenient to use. The swing-away bolts were placed at the bottom of the dome to minimize hold up volume and to simplify access to inspect the seals on the filter modules. The dome seal is installed in the up-right position to ensure the seals remain in position when tightening the bolts. The flow insert was machined from one piece to add stability to the center post and strength at the center post interface.
Each filter module that is installed in the housing will be centered at the top and bottom. This permits the module seals to be properly aligned and to engaged every time without fail and to be easily installed and removed. When using multiple stacks the center modules are centered at the top and bottom with the assistance of the center post guide. The center post guides eliminates the potential surfaces crevices and ease cleaning time found with the conventional fin type module centering device.
The mirror finish provided on both the outside and inside of the unit makes clean up easy in additional to enhancing the chemical resistance of the 316 L material. The finish also reduces the adhesion of most biological and pharmaceutical fluids and reduces surface bacteria growth. The surface preparation ensures that there are no unwanted surface crevices.
To add flexibility to adjust to various process batch sizes we offer shorter center posts. A 01-0285-2 filter housing designed to accept 32 cells can be purchased with additional center posts designed for 16 or 25 cells. This permits the customer to install shorter stacks when the batch sizes are smaller. If hold up volume is of a major concern a shorter dome can also be obtained.
The SSSLH 01-0285-3 Models and up are designed, in addition to the handles and for safety purposes, with heavy lifting lugs on the top of the dome.
