Direct answer

Yes. LibertyCES has documented Strainer in Plating applications, including Filter Pump CB Bag Filter. The right model depends on the fluid, concentration, temperature, flow and duty cycle, so send James your process data for a free spec review before final selection.

Install / Failure Note

CB Bag Filter's double O-ring labyrinth seal and long-sleeved flanges are what enable its 100 psi at ambient rating — a lighter single-seal bag housing substituted in on a pressurized plating rinse loop won't hold that same rating.

Plating bath strainers can't have any metal-to-liquid contact without risking bath contamination — Filter Pump's CB/CBK bag line is built entirely in CPVC and FKM specifically so the filtration step doesn't become a new source of metal ions in a precious-metal or chrome bath.
