Bag filter housings and Elements are a part of a complete process filtration system.
Schroeder Industries offers a complete line of bag filter housings and filter elements designed to meet the demands of a wide range of industrial process filtration applications. From compact single-bag housings to high-flow multi-bag systems, our solutions provide reliable filtration for operations of every size.
Bag filter housings and cartridge filters are widely used to remove suspended solids from process fluids, helping protect equipment, maintain product quality, and improve overall system performance. These contaminants can include metal particles, sand, rubber, bacteria, and other particulate matter that can accelerate equipment wear or disrupt production if left unfiltered.
With decades of filtration expertise and advanced micron-rated filtration technology, Schroeder Industries delivers engineered solutions that help customers achieve cleaner process fluids, longer equipment life, and more efficient operations.
Fine and Coarse Filtration for a Wide Range of Applications
Schroeder’s bag filter housings and filter elements provide an efficient and economical solution for both fine and coarse filtration across a wide range of industrial and water treatment applications. With filtration capabilities down to 0.2 micron—approximately the size of a corn starch particle—our systems can remove extremely small contaminants to help improve product quality and protect critical equipment.
Fine filtration plays an important role in applications requiring a high level of cleanliness, including processes where the removal of bacteria and other microscopic contaminants is essential. For applications with larger suspended solids, Schroeder’s multi-bag housings provide reliable coarse filtration while maintaining high flow rates and efficient system performance.
Bag filtration and cartridge filtration are widely used in industrial process filtration, solids recovery, and water treatment. These systems can effectively remove contaminants such as suspended solids, turbidity, algae, and microorganisms including Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts.
Designed with both performance and value in mind, Schroeder’s filter elements are manufactured from durable materials including polypropylene, polyester, nylon, and other application-specific media. The disposable elements are quick to replace, helping reduce maintenance time while providing a cost-effective filtration solution that supports Schroeder’s 2030 sustainability initiatives.

Process Fluid Filtering:
Process fluid filtration removes unwanted solid contaminants from liquids used in industrial processes, helping maintain fluid cleanliness and protect critical equipment. These process fluids—including lubricants, coolants, and other operating fluids—play an essential role in keeping machinery running efficiently and reliably.
During normal operation, contaminants such as metal particles, dirt, and other debris can accumulate within the fluid. If left unfiltered, these particles can increase equipment wear, reduce system performance, and shorten the life of critical components.
A familiar example is the oil filter in your vehicle. Just as it removes contaminants to protect your engine and maintain oil quality, industrial bag and cartridge filtration systems help preserve the cleanliness of process fluids, extending equipment life and improving overall system reliability.
Solids Removal/Recovery:
In many industrial applications, filtration is used not only to remove contaminants but also to recover valuable solids from process fluids. This process, known as solids recovery, separates reusable or marketable materials from the carrier fluid while helping prepare the fluid for reuse, further processing, or safe discharge.
A common example is found in mining operations. Water is often used to transport minerals from one stage of production to another. Once the slurry reaches its destination, filtration systems separate the valuable minerals from the carrier water. This process helps maximize product recovery while allowing the water to be recycled or treated for future use.
Schroeder’s bag filter housings and filtration solutions support efficient solids recovery by providing reliable separation, improving process efficiency, and helping reduce waste across a wide variety of industrial applications.
