A filtration system interconnection structure having a filter manifold including a sump housing and a first correlated magnet located on or connected to a portion of the manifold, and a filter cartridge including a filter media, first and second end caps sealed to the filter media, and a second, paired correlated magnet located on or connected to the filter cartridge housing body. The first and second correlated magnets are interconnected via magnetic communication upon insertion of the filter cartridge into the sump housing, and upon movement of the filter cartridge into an alignment position, the correlated magnet located on or connected to the manifold is permitted to translate as a result of the magnetic communication. The polarity profiles of the paired correlated magnets are aligned such that a repulsion force is created when the filter cartridge is inserted within the manifold sump housing.

A support frame for dust collection system including a drum filter and a filter cleaning system is disclosed where the frame includes a plurality of octagonal supports spaced apart from each other in an axial direction defining an octagon-shaped peripheral profile. A plurality of axial members extend between adjacent octagonal supports, and end covers are secured to the frame members with each cover including a first inlet opening and a second inlet opening. The support frame may be used in a modular dust collection with a plurality of modular segments of filter media segments secured to the frame and a filter cleaner segments corresponding to the filter media segments.

A filter housing assembly includes a base unit configured for supporting a removable filter unit. The base unit defining a first receiving cavity having an inside profile inwardly tapered in a first lateral direction in first and second planes positioned normal to each other and intersecting along an axis extending in the first lateral direction. The assembly further includes a bezel unit having a front fascia extending generally parallel to the first plane to a first edge. The bezel unit further defines a first attachment leg extending from a first position inward of the first edge and having a foot with an exterior profile inwardly tapered in the first direction and removably received within the first receiving cavity with the exterior profile in contact with the inside profile of the cavity along respective portions intersected by the first and second planes.

A filtration system has a filter unit and a holder module. The filter unit has an inlet side and an outlet side being opposite each other, and has at least one filter module. The holder module has at least one holder element and two tightening assemblies. The at least one holder element fixes the at least one filter module, and the tightening assemblies are respectively mounted at the inlet side and the outlet side of the filter unit. The quantities of the filter modules of the filter unit may be increased or decreased.

A pipeline filter assembly comprising a base assembly, an outer wall, and a lid assembly. The base assembly comprises a filter base, a base plate, and a support collar. The outer wall has a lower end portion and an upper end portion, wherein the lower end portion is coupled to the base assembly and the upper end portion comprises a lower collar. The lower collar comprising at least one lock notch spaced around an exterior surface thereof. The lid assembly comprises an upper collar and an upper cover. The upper collar comprises at least one housing that projects from the upper collar, at least one biasing clip pivotally mounted within the housing for releasable engagement with the lock notch, and at least one biasing spring that biases its corresponding biasing clip to a locked position around a corresponding lock notch.

A filter apparatus is described that has a torque limiting device, which may be a clutch mechanism, and which provides a protective function for a filter, so as to protect a filter from being over tightened and to thereby prevent damage to filter components. The clutch mechanism can also eliminate or reduce the need for torque measurement of certain filter components. The clutch mechanism can be located on one of the fluid filter, a filter head which engages the fluid filter, or a combination of both the fluid filter and the filter head.
