Single Bag Filter – SF Series(Side Inlet / Eye-Bolt)

The CMI SF Series Side Inlet Single Bag Filter Housing is an industrial-grade filtration vessel engineered for applications requiring higher pressure, improved mechanical stability, and reliable sealing performance.

Unlike the EF Series (economic V-clamp type), the SF Series adopts a side-entry flow path and a robust eye-bolt lid locking structure, providing enhanced durability and superior sealing under varying flow and pressure conditions.

The SF Series is available in Size 1/2/3/4, with pressure ratings up to 10 bar (Size 1/2) and an impressive 21 bar (Size 3/4)—making it ideal for more demanding industrial environments.

This is the best choice for general industrial filtration where cost efficiency and higher mechanical strength are both required.

Product Overview

The CMI SF Series Side Inlet Single Bag Filter Housing is an industrial-grade filtration vessel designed for applications requiring higher pressure resistance, improved mechanical stability, and reliable long-term sealing performance.

Compared with the EF Series (economic V-clamp design), the SF Series features a robust eye-bolt closure structure and a side-inlet / bottom-outlet flow configuration, ensuring enhanced durability and consistent operation under varying pressure and flow conditions.

The housing is available in Size 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 configurations, with pressure ratings up to 10 bar (Size 1 & 2) and up to 21 bar (Size 3 & 4), making it suitable for a wide range of industrial processes.

It represents the standard industrial solution where both cost efficiency and mechanical strength are required.

Key Features

  • Industrial eye-bolt closure design
    Provides stable and uniform sealing for long-term operation.
  • Higher pressure capability
    Up to 21 bar, significantly stronger than V-clamp type housings.
  • Side-inlet / bottom-outlet configuration
    Ensures smooth flow distribution, reduced pressure drop, and complete drainage.
  • Robust stainless steel construction
    Manufactured in SS304 / SS316L, with optional ASME Section VIII compliance.
  • Reliable sealing system
    Viton profile gasket ensures consistent sealing performance.
  • Universal filter bag compatibility
    Suitable for Size 1–4 filter bags with metal or plastic rings.
  • Easy maintenance
    Shot-blasted surface finish simplifies cleaning and inspection.
