Harmsco Hurricane housings

Summary

Product Identification

The HARMSCO® HP Hurricane® Filter Housings are designed for unsurpassed performance by separating dense solids prior to cartridge filtration, leading to extended filter life, increased dirt holding capacity, and reduced maintenance costs. They feature a combination cyclone separator and cartridge filter in a single compact design.

Available models include:

• HUR 40 HP
• HUR 90 HP
• HUR 170 HP

Key features:

• Patented Up-flow design with tangential entry to prevent air entrapment.
• Rotational flow that "flutters" media pleats, improving loading performance.
• CPVC standpipe as standard (stainless steel optional).
• Three sizes available to provide greater media surface area.
• NSF 61 listed.
• Extensive choice of cartridge micron ratings and media, including carbon block.
• Electropolished 304 stainless steel housing (316 available upon request).
• Fail-Safe closure system.
