FBT Series Filter Housing – Single Round

Single-Round Filter Housing
for Sanitary Liquid Filtration

FBT Series sanitary housings are designed specifically for liquid filtration in the food and beverage industry.

• Enhanced cleanability and microbiological safety due to crevice-free, polished and hygienic design
• Corrosion resistance and durability with 316L stainless steel wetted parts and high-quality welds
• Cost-effective without sacrificing quality and performance

FBT Housings are available in a standard sanitary design allowing a variety of connection options, or in a 3-A sanitary design, which meets the requirements of 3-A Sanitary Standards #10-04.

Features and Benefits

• Suitable for flow rates up to 91 liters/min (24 USgpm) depending on cartridge type and size
• Suitable for CIP and SIP 
• Beveled housing tube sheet and aseptic-style housing seal provides enhanced drainability and a crevice-free connection between the housing head and bowl
• Electropolished head and elbows and mirror polished bowl ensures optimal cleanability in critical areas while maintaining cost-effectiveness
• New cartridge locking design features additional cut-outs to traditional half-moon portions of the Code 7 bayonet locks, enhancing cleanability and drainability
  
  
  
• Operator-friendly V-Clamp housing closure simplifies handling
• Design satisfies EC Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC, ATEX 94/9/EC Group II Category 2

¹Maximum operating pressure ratings are vessel ratings only. Safe operating temperature and pressure will depend on filter cartridge and seal used. For compatibility details, please contact Pall
²For applications involving fluids below 0 °C (32 °F), please contact Pall.
³Check local pressure vessel code requirements.
⁴Seal materials meet FDA requirements for food contact use detailed in 21 CFR Section 177.2600 (excluding milk and edible oils). Additionally, seal materials in 3-A Series housings meet the requirements specified by 3-A Sanitary Standards #10-04.
⁵Refer to Pall Food and Beverage filter cartridge literature for additional guidelines on use.

⁶Flow/pressure drop characteristics refer to the empty housing only, for water at 20 °C (68 °F). For other liquids, multiply housing pressure drop by the specific gravity of the fluid.
