Industrial Liquid Filter Buying Guide: Filter Socks, Bag Filters, and Plating Machines from $5.50 to $1,922.90

Compare a $5.50 5-micron sock, a stainless 1# bag filter, and high-flow electroplating liquid filter machines to match your plating line's throughput and budget.

Last updated Aug 17, 2026

Choosing industrial filtration separation equipment starts with one question: do you need a consumable replacement element, a self-contained bag filter housing, or a powered liquid filter machine? The four options listed here span from a $5.50 filter sock to a $1,922.90 industrial plating filter, and the right pick depends on whether you already have a housing, want a stainless unit, or need a motorized filtration loop.

Quick take

For quick decisions: the Filpro DE5D4SS is the low-cost consumable for an existing 3-stage system; the TECHTONGDA 1# bag filter gives you a stainless housing for moderate flows; the Techtongda electric unit adds a self-priming pump for electroplating baths; and the PreAsion 1500W machine is the high-powered choice for larger chemical and plating volumes.

Product notes

Filpro DE5D4SS Industrial Liquid Filter Sock Bag

INDUSTRIAL LIQUID FILTER SOCK BAG - Filpro DE5D4SS. 5 mcr. Made in USA. New

If you already operate a multi-stage filtration loop, this 5-micron sock bag is the consumable to watch. It is a made-in-USA filter used in food, pharmaceutical, microelectronics, chemical, and laboratory applications where fine particle removal is the point. It is also the lowest-priced item in this set, making it an easy line-item restock. The trade-off is that it is a replacement element, not a filter housing, so it only helps once you have the surrounding system that accepts a sock bag. Pick it when your existing filtration setup needs a 5-micron element and you want a no-fuss replacement.

Techtongda 220V Electric High Flow Industrial Liquid Filter

220V Electric High Flow Industrial Liquid Filter Electroplating Nickel Chemical

This vertical unit is aimed at electroplating and chemical liquid filtration, with a 6-core high-flow design and a self-priming pump. The 220V/750W motor is part of the package, so it can run as a complete powered solution rather than just a housing. That makes it a good fit if you want to circulate and clean plating solution in one unit. On the flip side, the motor and voltage need to align with your shop's setup: it runs on 220V and draws 750W. Choose it when you need a self-contained high-flow filter for a plating bath but don't need the larger motor in the next tier.

PreAsion Industrial Liquid Filter Machine

Industrial Liquid Filter Machine 1500W 220V 3-Phase Electroplating Nickel Platin

This is the highest-motor-power machine in the group, rated at 1500W on 220V three-phase power. Its design centers on a large-capacity, high-flow format for electroplating solutions and other corrosive industrial liquids. It is a full filter machine rather than a bag or sock, so it bundles the heavy lifting into one large unit. The main constraint is electrical: the 220V three-phase requirement belongs in a facility that already has that supply. If you need maximum listed wattage for plating filtration, this is the one.

TECHTONGDA 1# Bag Industrial Filter

TECHTONGDA 1# Bag Industrial Filter 304 Stainless Steel 2" NPT In/Out 120 PSI

This stainless steel bag filter brings a 304 housing, 2-inch NPT inlet/outlet, and a 120 PSI rating to the table. It is designed around a 1# bag filter format, so it occupies the middle ground between a replacement sock and a powered machine. If you want a durable stainless housing that uses replaceable filter bags, this unit is worth comparing to the electric filters. The limitation is scope: it is a single-bag filter with a 120 PSI rating, so its operating envelope is defined by that pressure limit rather than the high-flow circulation of the powered machines. Choose it when your priority is a stainless bag filter housing with NPT connections.

Final recommendation by use case

  • Need a fine replacement element for an existing filtration loop? Go with the Filpro DE5D4SS sock bag.
  • Want a stainless housing with replaceable bags for moderate flow? Pick the TECHTONGDA 1# Bag Industrial Filter.
  • Need a powered electroplating filter with a self-priming pump? The Techtongda electric high-flow liquid filter is the match.
  • Have a larger plating or chemical workload and three-phase power? The PreAsion 1500W industrial liquid filter machine is the top-spec choice in this group.

Match the filter to the flow and the power supply, and you will have a filtration separation setup that fits the price point.
