Filtrox | DISCSTAR™ H Horizontal Lenticular Module Housing

Product Description

The DISCSTAR™ H is available for 16” double open ended modules with flat gaskets (DOE). It is a highly precise stainless steel filter housing for filter modules, developed and manufactured for everyday use. The enclosed system enables depth filtration to be carried out without drip loss.

Compared to standard vertical housings the DISCSTAR™ H is turned into a horizontal position. On one side there is a closure head through which the filter modules are loaded. The opening of the lid is supported by a gas-pressurized spring. To ensure a proper compression of the module stack, a compression force can be applied from the outside. No crane is needed to open the housing. Venting valve, sight glass, pipework and instrumentation are permanently installed. An optional residual filter can be installed to minimize the dead volume. The horizontal design allows a much easier and time saving operation.

The DISCSTAR™ H housing is much safer to operate and easier to handle due to an economic chest working height and easy loading and disposing of the modules.

BENEFITS
Easy replacement of modules / no need of crane or other lifting devices
Easy spent module removal and transportation
Easier to fill especially for modules with open filter media
Saves working time because of better accessibility of modules
Smaller footprint / reduce overall height compare to vertical design
No product loss due to optionally integrated residual filter
Ergonomic chest high operation
Pipework away from the operator section
Permanent vent valve pipework, sight glass and instrumentation
No center post components or loose components inside the housing
External module compression check
Skid version with two, three or more housings available
