A lenticular filter housing contains the filter modules and provides the connections, seals and flow path needed to use them. The purchase specification must cover the module assembly as well as the vessel. Begin with your liquid, required batch volume and filtration window, then ask the supplier to propose a matched configuration. LOONGFiltration's LLP range lenticular filter housing includes a housing system presented with a mobile trolley and pump. Confirm the equipment included in the particular quotation.

For media selection and the trial data needed to size the system, use our lenticular filter selection guide for industrial buyers. Include those results with the housing inquiry so the supplier can identify the required area and module arrangement.

Key takeaways

  • Compare the effective filter area and demonstrated batch capacity of each proposed assembly.

  • Match the module connection, stack height and seals against the housing drawing.

  • Specify process and cleaning conditions, including any planned use of gas.

  • Compare quotations with the same equipment scope and recovery assumptions.

Choosing between 12 and 16 inch configurations

Select the diameter and module count together. A 12 inch lenticular filter housing may be suitable for smaller lots when the proposed media can complete the batch within the available time. A 16 inch lenticular filter configuration can provide more area per module within a given product family. Its value depends on the extra capacity your process can use and the space needed to operate it. For wine applications, our lenticular filter sizing guide for wine covers module area, flow and batch capacity.

Decision

Evaluate for a 12 inch assembly

Evaluate for a 16 inch assembly

Required flow

Trial the selected grade at the intended flow per unit area

Confirm the additional area and the pump conditions needed to use it

Batch completion

Check accepted volume before the quality or pressure endpoint

Check whether the larger assembly avoids an interruption during the lot

Small lots

Establish liquid retained during startup and draining

Measure retained liquid against the smallest planned batch

Installation

Check the footprint and module removal space

Check the footprint, dome handling and wet module handling

Production changes

Ask which alternate stack arrangements are supported

Ask which smaller loads the proposed center post and hardware support

Get the effective area for the exact module code. Cell construction and module height affect the assembly, and the nominal diameter alone leaves those details open. For variable lot sizes, ask the supplier to show each permitted loading arrangement on the drawing. Lenticular module construction options

Match the modules to the housing internals

Verify the sealing interface before placing the order. Flat gasket and O-ring connections are examples of different module formats. Identify the connection and the hardware required for the selected assembly, and obtain the installation instructions with the quotation.

Specification

Information to put on the order

Module identification

Manufacturer, exact code, grade and effective area

Mechanical fit

Diameter, module height, number of modules and connection drawing

Internal hardware

Center post, adapters, compression parts and any required support plates

Wetted construction

Metal grade, elastomers and compatibility with the liquid and cleaning agents

Instrumentation

Inlet and outlet pressure measurement, gauge ranges and sampling points

Service access

Vent and drain positions, removal clearance and lifting arrangement

If you are replacing a Pall lenticular filter housing or retaining another existing module range, supply the original drawing and part numbers. Request written confirmation of the proposed combination. Include replacement seals and other service parts in the equipment list so they can be ordered by identification later.

Specify pressure, temperature and cleaning conditions

Give the supplier the process temperature and the full cleaning cycle, including chemicals and exposure time. Ask for the permissible conditions of the complete assembly, with separate limits for the vessel and the filter module. The module's differential pressure limit concerns the pressure difference across the media. The housing rating concerns the vessel's service conditions.

State whether the process includes carbonation, gas displacement or gas storage between runs. The supplier must confirm the intended gas service for the quoted vessel. Use our lenticular filter system setup checklist to document gas-service requirements and the equipment included in the quotation.

Review how operators will remove the dome and wet modules. Obtain the relevant weights and clearance dimensions and agree on a handling method before installation. Manufacturer instructions for vertical housings include overhead clearance and lifting considerations.Housing installation and handling guidance

What determines lenticular filter housing pricing?

Request a current, itemized quotation for the configuration you intend to buy. LOONGFiltration's LLP product page uses an inquiry process. Supply the process duty and installation requirements so the offer can identify the vessel and any integrated equipment. Request details for the LLP housing configuration

When comparing a lenticular filter housing for sale, establish the scope behind the price. Ask each supplier to price the same module arrangement and list the accessories included. A procurement comparison should also identify installation work and operating consumables that the buyer will supply.

Quotation item

What to establish

Housing and internals

Diameter, stack arrangement, material and seal specification

Valves and instruments

Included gauges, fittings, drains and vents

Pump and trolley

Whether these are included, with the pump duty and control method

Initial filter modules

Grade, quantity, area and replacement module identification

Documentation

Drawings, material records, applicable test records and operating manual

Delivery and commissioning

Packing, freight terms, installation scope and startup support

Ask for the quotation validity date and delivery basis. Compare the initial equipment cost with the expected cost per accepted batch. Your trial record can supply the assumptions for module use, preparation time and retained product. A reuse allowance needs a documented procedure and measured results on the intended liquid.

Agree on acceptance before ordering

Set measurable checks for delivery and commissioning. Review the final drawing and equipment list before manufacture or shipment. On receipt, match identification plates, wetted materials and supplied accessories to the order documents. Ask the supplier which pressure or leak test records apply to the quoted assembly.

During startup, confirm the installed module arrangement and operate under the supplier's procedure. Record inlet and outlet pressure at the agreed flow, then follow accepted volume and outlet quality through a representative batch. Include draining and changeover in the assessment if product recovery or available labor influenced the purchase.

Use the process duty from your own line when preparing the inquiry. LOONGFiltration's application pages can help identify the relevant filtration stage for beer and wine.

Frequently asked questions

Is a 16 inch housing always the better purchase?

Choose the assembly that meets your flow and batch requirements with acceptable recovery and handling. Compare the proposed module area and trial results for both sizes. The smallest and largest lots on your schedule should both be part of the review.

Can a tall housing operate with fewer modules?

Some designs support this through a different center post or loading arrangement. Obtain the manufacturer's approved configuration and the required parts. Scott Laboratories lists shorter posts for specific reduced module loads in its housing range.

Does the housing price include filter modules and a pump?

Confirm both items in the quotation. Ask for the module grade and quantity and, where a pump is supplied, its duty and controls. Compare the equipment list line by line before comparing totals.

Can the same housing be used for backflushing?

Get approval for the exact module, internals and procedure. Some assemblies use support plates during regeneration. Check the required hardware and permitted flow direction with the supplier before specifying the system for that duty.

Request a matched housing quotation

Send LOONGFiltration your liquid, batch range and filtration window. Include existing module codes or drawings, the cleaning cycle and any gas service requirements. Ask for a matched lenticular filter housing and module offer with the equipment scope and acceptance conditions stated. Discuss your housing configuration with LOONGFiltration.
