48D314 - Walter Bio-Circle Replacement Filter Housing Assembly

Technical Overview of the Walter 48D314 Filter Housing

The Walter 48D314 Filter Housing is a critical maintenance component engineered specifically for the Bio-Circle line of industrial parts washers. As a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part from Walter Surface Technologies, this housing is designed to meet the exact specifications required for the optimal performance of Bio-Circle GT and Compact systems. The housing serves as the primary containment vessel for the filtration cartridge, playing a pivotal role in the system's closed-loop cleaning cycle. By securing the filter element in place, it ensures that contaminants, oils, and greases are effectively removed from the cleaning fluid, allowing the bioremediation process to function efficiently.

Constructed from high-grade, chemical-resistant polymers, the 48D314 housing is built to withstand the specific chemical properties of Bio-Circle L and Ultra liquids. It offers excellent resistance to thermal cycling and mechanical stress, ensuring durability in harsh industrial environments. The unit features precision-molded threads that provide a secure, leak-proof connection to the machine's manifold, preventing fluid loss and maintaining necessary system pressure. The design often incorporates a textured grip or hex-nut bottom to facilitate easy removal and tightening during routine maintenance intervals.

Failure to replace a damaged or cracked filter housing can lead to significant system inefficiencies. A compromised housing may introduce air into the pumping system, causing cavitation, or allow unfiltered fluid to bypass the cartridge, recirculating contaminants back onto the parts being cleaned. This replacement part restores the system's integrity, ensuring that the fluid remains clean and the bio-agents remain active. For maintenance professionals, using the correct SKU (48D314) guarantees compatibility, eliminating the risks associated with universal or ill-fitting aftermarket parts.

Installation of the housing is straightforward and requires no specialized tooling, although adherence to torque specifications is recommended to preserve the O-ring seal. This component is an essential stock item for facilities relying on Bio-Circle technology for their degreasing and MRO operations, ensuring minimal downtime during scheduled service or unexpected repairs.
