Original Accessories and Spare Parts for Safety and Reliability. The wide range of Filter Vessel Accessories makes it possible to custom design a vessel to the exact requirements of your application, no matter how complex or unique it may be.
Accessories can be used not just to meet applications requirements but to improve the process as well. For example, displacement balloons make bag change outs easier and magnetic inserts extend filter bag life in applications where iron particles are encountered.
We also carry spare parts for original GAF and Loeffler Housings.The range of accessories includes: Restrainer Baskets , Bag Positioner ,Bag Locks , Eye Bolt Sets , Leg Assemblies , Displacement Balloons , O Rings and Adaptor Heads for open filtration.
Restrainer Baskets
Heavy duty 316 SS baskets (included with housing) allow use of filter bags up to differential pressures of 75 psi. Available in all standard bag sizes, fitting all Eaton-Hayward-GAF bag filter vessels. Specially designed restrainer baskets are available for specific applications, including special materials of construction such as Hastelloy or Halar coated, perforated plate, gasketed basket top ring, conical shape, etc.
Replacement O Rings
Eaton-Hayward-GAF metal filter vessels are fitted with standard Buna N™ O-rings, but offer other O-ring materials such as EPDM, Viton®, PTFE encapsulated Viton® or silicone rubber. They offer a variety of chemical and thermal resistances to meet a multitude of uses. Plastic vessels are supplied Viton® O-rings.
Displacement Balloons
During filtration, they float in the filter bag, minimizing the amount of residual liquid present in the filter bag and reducing product loss. This eases the changing of the filter bags and eliminates the need for expensive pressure-aided draining systems. The 316 SS balloons’ maximum DP is 230 psi and they are available in sizes #01 and #02.
Bag Locks or Bag Positioners
Recommended for safe positioning of the filter bag in order to eliminate up and down movement of the bag caused by uncontrolled changes in pressure drop, thus avoiding the chance of the bag bursting. During filtration the bag holder remains in the filter bag (also in combination with the displacement balloon). Bag positioners are available in sizes #01& #02.
Bag Hold-down Rings
The various ECOLINE, SIDELINE, FLOWLINE and MAXILINE bag filter vessels are fitted with different bag hold-down rings (included with vessel). They hold the filter bag in the restrainer basket.
Support Legs
A height-adjustable leg assembly is standard for size #01 and #02 TOPLINE, FLOWLINE and SIDELINE housings, and is an option for ECOLINE housings.
Magnetic Inserts
Magnetic strainers are a combination of a bag positioner fitted in the centre with a magnetic bar or bars inserted into the filter bag during filtration. They will retain iron particles such as chips and fines, avoiding their deposition onto the filter media, thus extending the life of the filter bag. They will also retain finer iron dust when using bags of coarser micron rating. Eaton-GAF magnetic strainers are available in size #01 and #02 using one or two 316 SS covered magnetic bars.
Mesh Inserts
Bag filter vessels may be fitted with 316 SS mesh strainers in place of restrainer baskets, converting them into strainer filters. Mesh strainers are available in four standard sizes: #01, #02, #03 and #04–offering micron ratings of 25, 50, 100, 150, 250, 400, 800, 1200 and 4000.
Adapter Head and Basket
Used in conjunction with SNAP-RING Filter Bags in gravity feed open systems. Adapter heads are available in 316 SS and polypropylene with 1 1/2" BSP. No support basket is required for pressures to 10 psi. Above that, to 20 psi maximum, a basket support is recommended. 01 Size filter bags recommended.
