In-Line Filter Systems

Dependable Filtration for Process Fluids and Cooling Water

In-line filters play a critical role in maintaining clean, contaminant-free water or coolant circuits by capturing debris, sediment, and particulate matter before they reach sensitive equipment. These filtration units are built for robust industrial use — offering high flow capacity, minimal pressure drop, and easy maintenance for both small systems and large-scale process loops.

Constructed with stainless steel housings and replaceable conical screens, the filters are engineered to trap solids effectively while maximizing flow efficiency. Their upward-flow strainer design forces heavier particles downward into a reservoir, then collects them for flush-out — avoiding clogging, reducing maintenance frequency, and preserving flow integrity.

With flow capacities from modest 100 GPM up to 2,000 GPM, these in-line filters are suitable for a wide range of applications including injection molding coolant loops, water-cooled machinery, heat exchangers, chillers, and general closed-loop cooling systems. Pressure ratings up to 150 PSI accommodate demanding industrial environments.

Effective Contaminant Removal: Removes particulate, rust, scale, and debris to protect pumps, valves, heat exchangers, and other downstream components.

Low Pressure Drop: Large conical screen and optimized flow path ensure nearly uninterrupted flow — even at high flow rates, maintaining system efficiency.

Wide Capacity Range: From small process loops to high flow requirements — scalable filtration to match system size.

Simple Maintenance: Flushing port and reservoir design allow easy removal of collected debris without system shutdown or disassembly.

System Protection & Longevity: By reducing contaminant load, in-line filters extend the life of pumps, seals, heat exchangers, and overall cooling circuits.

Inline filter

In-line filters help maintain fluid quality by removing suspended solids, rust, scale, or other particulate contaminants that could damage pumps, valves, or heat exchangers. They prevent blockages, reduce wear on moving parts, and ensure consistent performance and flow stability across the cooling or processing loop.

Common configurations for in-line filters include:

  • Compact Inline Strainers: For small flow applications, ideal for lab setups, small chillers or auxiliary circuits.
  • High-Capacity Inline Filters: Built for larger systems with flow rates up to 2000 GPM, suitable for central cooling loops, industrial chillers, or processing lines.
  • Multi-unit Manifolded Filters: Multiple filters installed in parallel to increase throughput or provide redundancy while maintaining filtration efficiency.

The internal conical-screen design creates a self-cleaning effect. As fluid flows upward through the screen, heavier debris is forced downward into a reservoir where it is retained until flushed out. This design minimizes pressure drop — often less than 1 psi — and avoids frequent clogging. Maintenance is simplified through a flush port that allows debris removal without disassembly or system downtime. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
