This brochure details what is now regarded as the most comprehensive, innovative line of Filter Housings and
Accessories available on the market. Over recent years we have introduced new concepts to Filter Housing design
encompassing the revolutionary QIC-LOCK quick opening cover-lid mechanism (see page 12/13) greatly reducing
change-out times and a tangential outlet which lowers housing height making it easier to access the filter bags.
One of Eatons greatest achievements is the development and implementation of a single global product line manufactured worldwide in multiple locations to a common design in compliance with local code requirements:
In Europe, Asia-Pacific and South America Eaton is fully qualified to provide pressure housings of Category I-IV under the
Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) (97/23/EC) which came into
effect May 29, 2002. Housings are manufactured to Design Code
AD 2000-Merkbltter, the Notified body is TV Nord, Conformity
Assessment up to Module H1 and G.
In North America, South America and Asia, Eaton is fully qualified to
provide the same range of housings according to ASME. Canadian
registration numbers, CRN, are also available.

ACCESSORIES
EATON
FILTER HOUSING ACCESSORIES
Original Eaton Accessories, Consumables and Spare
Parts for Safety and Reliability
The wide range of Eaton Filter Housing Accessories
makes it possible to custom design a housing to the
exact requirements of your application, no matter how
complex or unique it may be.
01
01
Restrainer Baskets
Heavy duty, electropolished SS 316 perforated plate
baskets (included with housing) allows use of filter
bags and HAYFLOW elements up to differential pressures of 30 psi. Available in all standard sizes, fitting all
Eaton bag filter housings. Specially designed restrainer
baskets, including special of construction such as
HASTELLOY or EPOXY coated, are available. Standard
baskets can be used in combination with adaptor rings
for retrofitting other types of housings.
02
LOFNETIC Magnets
Magnet assemblies are inserted into the filter bag during filtration. They are a combination of bag positioner
fitted in the center with a magnetic bar(s). Lifetime is
extended by retaining magnetic particles such as chips
and fines, preventing deposition onto the filter media.
They also retain finer magnetic dust when using bags
of coarser micron rating. Eaton magnetic strainers are
available in size 01 and 02 using one or two SS 316
covered magnetic bars.
24
10
11
03
Bag Positioner
Highly recommended for all installations, mandatory for
some, bag positioners or bag locks ensure correct
positioning of the filter bag within the basket and eliminate any bobbing up and down movement of the
bag caused by uncontrolled back pressure. This avoids
any chance of bag bursting. ACCUGAF, PROGAF and
LOFCLEAR 500 filterbags need to be equipped with a
bag positioner. A special new collar design firmly fixes
the element inside the bag during filtration. They are
available in sizes 01 and 02.
04
03
06 Manifold Modules
Eaton standard pipe modules are available in SS 316.
90 elbows, flange reductions, flanged T sections,
and flange manifolds can be easily assembled to make
DUOLINE or MODULINE bag filter versions based
on FLOWLINE, SIDELINE or TOPLINE size 01 or 02
housings.
07 Adapter Head for Open Filtration
Used in conjunction with SNAP-RING filter bags in
gravity feed open systems. Adapter heads are available in SS 316 and polypropylene with a 1.5 NPT
connection for pressures to 20 psi.
08
Gaskets and O-ring Seals
As standard, Eaton metal filter housings are fitted with
Buna N O-rings. Plastic housings have Viton O-rings.
Other material options such as EPDM, Viton, TFE
encapsulated Viton or Silicone rubber are available
as flat gaskets. The options offer a variety of chemical
and thermal resistances to meet a multitude of uses
and applications.

04
Leg Assembly
Height-adjustable leg assemblies are standard for
size 01 and 02 TOPLINE, FLOWLINE, and SIDELINE
housings, and optional for ECOLINE housings. Wall
mounting brackets are also available.
05
Displacement Balloons
Inserting a displacement balloon inside the filter bag
minimizes the amount of residual liquid present in
the filter bag and reduces product loss. This eases the
changing of the filter bags eliminating the need for
09
Mesh Strainers
Bag filter housings may be fitted with SS 316 mesh
lined strainers in place of baskets to convert them to
strainer filters. Mesh strainers are available in four
standard sizes: 01, 02, 03 and 04, micron ratings are 25,
50, 100, 150, 250, 400, 800 m respectively.
10 Miscellaneous
Gauges, Vents, Eye-bolts, Clamp-screws, V-clamps,
Center-bolts, Butterfly and Ball Valves are available as
accessories or spare parts to fit the various Eaton bag
filter housings.
11 Bag Hold-down Rings
The various ECOLINE, SIDELINE, FLOWLINE,
POLYLINE and MAXILINE MBF bag filter housings
are fitted with different bag hold-down rings (included
with housing). They hold the filter bag securely inside
the restrainer basket which in turn is positioned
correctly within the housing.

INTRODUCTION
Setting New Technology Boundaries
Demanding or critical liquid filtration applications
require high performance filtration media. This
media may have to be more efficient, stronger,
longer lasting or conform to specific standards.
Sometimes, a unique combination of these qualities
can be required.
Eaton filter bags meet these stringent media requirements. The convenience and economy of liquid bag
filtration is now feasible for filtration applications
that previously required other, more expensive
systems.
Change the way youve been
thinking about filter bags...
and explore the range of filter
bags described in this catalog.
You may find solutions to
your most difficult filtration
challenges here. Todays bags
are capable of performing in
applications that, in the past,
required more complex and
expensive filtration systems.
After you have finished reading about these special
filter bags, contact us. Because demanding or critical
applications can be complex, an Eaton Applications
Specialist is available to perform a no-obligation
analysis of your process. Learn how one of these
high performance filter bags can work in your system, whether your system already exists or is in
the design stage, and the improvements you can
expectbefore you make any commitment.

CONSIDERATIONS
Bag Positioner
To ensure proper performance, PROGAF Filter Bags
must be used with the Eaton Bag Positioner. Using
them together aids bag insertion into the filter housing and assures correct alignment of the bag inside
the restrainer basket, preventing the bag from being
pushed out of the restrainer basket in case of reverse
flow, and makes bag removal easier.

Proprietary Construction
Proprietary construction processes produce a reliable,
durable filter bag. All seams are fully welded, producing
strong, reliable joints with no by-pass or loose sewing
thread. Seams are both strong and flexible, allowing
the filter bag to form to the restrainer basket. The seam
edges are heat sealed, eliminating possible loose fibers.
This results in a filter bag with durable performance for
the most demanding applications.
Now, applications requiring polypropylene or polyester felt filter bags can take advantage of the all-welded
construction afforded by Eaton SENTINEL Filter Bags.
These bags, made from silicone-free materials, feature
super-strong welded construction rather than sewn
seams. This construction ensures that nothing bypasses
the process media through holes in sewn fabric.

What Makes the HAYFLOW Element
Better seconds!
cycles in less than 30
The heart of a HAYFLOW filter element is two concentric cylinders of high-quality extended life Eaton
filter media. These cylinders are formed using unique
welding technology to create a no by-pass seam. The
diameter of the cylinder is the same size as a standard
filter bag, so retrofitting into existing systems is easy.
The HAYFLOW element is fitted with the SENTINEL
sealing ring, ensuring a positive seal with the filter
vessel to protect against bypass of the process media.
