STK Side-Entry Single Bag Filter Housing (Side-In / Bottom-Out Flow)
STK Side-Entry Single Bag Filter Housing (Side-In / Bottom-Out Flow)
The STARK Side-Entry Single Bag Filter Housing is engineered for maximum ease of use and maintenance. Its unique side-inlet, bottom-outlet flow path eliminates top-mounted piping, providing completely unobstructed access to the filter bag for rapid change-outs and thorough cleaning. The compact design is perfect for installations with limited headroom.

Engineered for Hassle-Free Maintenance and Compact Installations
The **STK Side-Entry Bag Filter Housing (STK-CS Series)** addresses common maintenance challenges found in traditional top-inlet filters. By moving the inlet connection to the side of the vessel body, we have created a design that prioritizes operator convenience and installation flexibility.
Key Design Advantages
1. Unobstructed Access for Easy Cleaning
Unlike top-inlet designs where influent piping can obstruct access, the side-entry configuration leaves the top opening completely clear once the cover is removed. This allows for immediate, unobstructed removal of the spent filter bag and provides full access to the vessel interior for easy and thorough cleaning or inspection.
2. Low-Profile, Compact Design
The elimination of the top elbow piping significantly reduces the overall height requirement for installation. This makes the STK-CS series the ideal choice for skids, mezzanines, or any application where overhead space (headroom) is limited.
3. Efficient Flow Path & Sealing
Fluid enters through the side port and is directed downward into the filter bag via a specially designed internal distributor. This ensures even flow and prevents bag turbulence. A positive 360-degree bag hold-down ring ensures a secure seal, preventing any bypass of unfiltered liquid.
4. Versatile Sizing for Various Flows
Based on the technical parameters, this series covers a wide range of industrial flow rates. From compact units handling **6 m³/h** to larger vessels capable of **45 m³/h**, available in standard bag sizes #1, #2, #3, and #4 to suit your process needs.

* Note: Flow rates are theoretical for water processing.
Ideal for Height-Restricted & Frequent Cleaning Applications
The low-profile, easy-access design makes the STK-CS series perfect for:
- Skid-Mounted & OEM Systems:
Compact design fits easily into mobile filtration carts or process skids with limited headroom.
- Batch Processing (Paints, Inks, Coatings):
Where rapid bag changes and complete housing cleaning between different product batches are essential.
- Chemical & General Industry:
Filtration of solvents, process water, and chemicals where operator convenience and safety are prioritized.
- Facility Water Filtration:
Installed in tight mechanical rooms or mezzanines for utility water or cooling loop filtration.
