FSI X100 Cartridge/Bag Filter Housing

prosep cartridge filtersThe FSI X100 is an excellent, low cost filter housing and its design means that it is highly adaptable, offering the choice of using either a bag filter or a cartridge filter in the same unit.

It offers filtration to as little as 1 micron and includes the housing, corrosion-proof legs, an adapter plate and a comprehensive manual, with optional pressure gauges also available.

The unit is manufactured entirely from polypropylene with a UV inhibitor for all weather durability, and has a 2" NPT inlet and outlet.

XO1 Filter Bag

Measuring 6" in diameter by 20" long the XO1 Filter Bag has a surface area of 0.186 m2.

The XO1 is fitted with the patented Polyloc Ring which seals directly against the wall of the filter housing and eliminates the chance of fluid by-pass.

A heavy duty Polypropylene Strainer Basket supports the XO1.

X20 Filter Cartridge

X20 cartridgeThe X20 Polyseal Cartridge is a steep pore gradient depth filter designed to have a large dirt loading capacity.

The X20 measures 5.5" in diameter and 23.25" long, yielding a total cartridge volume of 500 in3.

In laboratory tests, the X20 has out-performed standard 10" cartridges by holding 20 times the volume of dirt.

The design of the X20 Polyseal Cartridge features a single open end that directs fluid from outside the cartridge in through the filter. A built-in handle on the cartridge top assists in seating and removing the X20.

The cartridge bottom is equipped with FSI's patented Polyseal End Fitting to ensure a by-pass free sealing without the need for double O rings or flat gaskets. Fitting securely into the cartridge plate, the X20 does not require springs, hold-down plates or centre posts.

Maximum recommended flow rate is 10-12 m3/hr (160-200 l/min) for both cartridge and bag filters. Maximum pressure is 6.9 bar (100 psi).
