Filter Bag Support Basket is used primarily for supporting liquid filter bags inside bag filter housings with perforated stainless baskets that keep the bag from bursting under pressure. This page lists the industries and assemblies where it is specified, the selection criteria that matter for each application, handling and installation practice, and the cases where a different mesh, screen or filter type is the correct choice. It is supplied to Size #1 / #2 bag housings.
Typical Applications for Filter Bag Support Basket
Where Filter Bag Support Basket is specified and bought:
- Paints, inks & coatings: bag filtration of batches.
- Food & beverage: syrup, juice and oil straining.
- Chemicals: process liquid filtration.
- Water treatment: pre-filtration ahead of cartridges.
How to Specify Filter Bag Support Basket for Your Application
- Bag size: #1, #2 or #4 bag to match the housing.
- Perforation: 2–3.2 mm holes, often with a mesh liner for fine bags.
- Material: SS304 or SS316 to suit the liquid.
- Standard: Quote Size #1 / #2 bag housings and the size designation from the table on the product page, plus any value you changed in the technical drawing.
Handling & Installation Practice
- Seat the bag ring fully in the basket so liquid cannot bypass the bag.
- Clean the basket at every bag change.
Common Selection Mistakes with Filter Bag Support Basket
- Bypass at a poorly seated ring.
- Using the wrong basket size for the bag.
Where Filter Bag Support Basket Is Not the Right Choice
Not a filter by itself — the bag does the filtering.
