Single Bag Filter – TF Series（Top Inlet）

Product Overview

The CMI TF Series Top Entry Single Bag Filter Housing is the premium high-performance model in the CMI single-bag product family.

Unlike the EF Series (economic V-clamp design) or the SF Series (industrial side-inlet design), the TF Series features a top-entry cast lid that allows the incoming liquid to press the filter bag directly from above, achieving maximum sealing efficiency and virtually zero bypass.

With fewer welds and higher structural integrity, the cast lid design provides excellent durability and sealing performance, making the TF Series ideal for high-purity, sensitive, or critical filtration applications where leakage or bypass cannot be tolerated.

This housing is widely used in electronic liquids, fine chemicals, food & beverage, coatings, and key RO process stages where filtration quality and sealing reliability are essential.

Key Features

• Top-entry cast lid design
  Fewer welds, higher strength, and improved long-term durability.
• Near-zero bypass performance
  Top inlet flow presses the filter bag directly into position for maximum sealing efficiency.
• Improved flow distribution
  Top-entry structure provides more uniform liquid distribution and more stable filtration quality.
• Low residual liquid volume
  Top inlet and bottom outlet configuration reduces dead volume and simplifies cleaning.
• High-grade stainless steel construction
  Available in SS304 / SS316L for stable long-term industrial use.
• Reliable gasket sealing
  Viton profile gasket ensures consistent sealing performance for sensitive liquids.
• Suitable for high-purity applications
  Ideal for liquids where bypass control and filtration quality are critical.
