Davit Arm Multi-Bag Filter

Product Overview

The CMI Davit-Arm Multi-Bag Filter Housing is engineered for demanding industrial environments where safety, stability, and frequent maintenance access are critical.

Its heavy-duty integrated davit arm allows the lid to swing open horizontally without lifting or removal, ensuring maximum operator safety during bag replacement.

The side-inlet and bottom-outlet configuration enables complete drainage, while the optional tangential outlet design reduces vessel height and simplifies installation in compact layouts.

This model is ideal for high-flow, medium-to-high pressure, and continuous filtration processes, including chemicals, solvents, coatings, and RO pre-treatment systems.

All housings can be designed and manufactured in accordance with ASME Section VIII, Division 1 upon request.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty davit-arm mechanism
  Eliminates the need for lid lifting and minimizes risk of accidental dropping—maximizing operator safety.
• Horizontal swing-open design
  Enables smooth opening and closing, even for large-diameter or heavy-lid housings.
• High structural stability
  Designed for continuous operation under fluctuating flow and pressure conditions.
• Complete drainage configuration
  Side inlet and bottom outlet minimize residual liquid and improve maintenance safety.
• Zero-bypass bag support system
  Prevents bag displacement under high flow, ensuring consistent filtration performance.
• Universal filter bag compatibility
  Compatible with standard Size 1 and Size 2 filter bags (metal or plastic ring).
• High-quality surface finish
  Options include bead-blasted or electropolished interior (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm).
