    Sintered Metal Filter Bags

    Filter-Tex Media's sintered bags are made up of several layers of mesh sintered together to form an integrated porous element.

    The inner mesh is of a very fine gauge and determines filtration accuracy. This is overlaid with coarse support mesh layers and protective outer mesh layers. This type of surface filtration means that solid contaminants are retained on the surface of the filtration layer. This facilitiates high filtration efficiency and makes backflushing very easy. Sintered bags offer excellent heat, corrosion and pressure resistance.

    Seamless Filter Bags

    Seamless filter bags manufactured by Filter-Tex Media exhibit unique filtration advantages.

    • Eliminated potential seam failure.
    • Eliminates potential leakage through needle holes.
    • Eliminates "banana" effect of tensioned seam reducing bag to collector abrasion.
    • Produces more uniform sinusoidal cleaning wave (shaker collectors).
    • Allows better seals at cuff areas.
    • Allows more active filtration area.
    • Longer bag life
    • Easier to install.
    • Less resistance to flow.
    • Greater abrasion resistance on heavier fabric weights

    Fabric Selection

    Filter-Tex Media only use technically developed filter media from the worlds leading suppliers to manufacture both needlefelt and woven filter bags.

    When choosing the correct fabric for your system it is important to evaluate temperature, particulate size and abrasiveness, moisture and chemical content of the gas stream and air to cloth ratio. Our fabric range includes:

    Polypropylene
    Polyester
    Polyester antistatic

    Acrylic (PAN)
    Polyphenylene Sulphide (PPS)
    Nomex(Aramid)

    P84 (Poly-Imide)
    Fibreglass
    Teflon

    Our engineers can recommend a fabric to solve your most difficult filtration problems including high temperature, acidity, moisture and hot and sticky dusts. Please contact us with your problem.
