What is a Filter Bag?

Filter bags (also known as dust collection bags or Dust Collector Bag) are the core component of baghouse dust collectors, often referred to as the “heart of the baghouse system.” As a critical part of dry/wet high-efficiency dust removal equipment,  filter bags use advanced filtration mechanisms to separate dust from industrial exhaust gases, ensuring compliance with environmental emission standards.

How Filter Bags Work?

Filter bags are made of woven fiber fabric and operate based on inertial impaction and interception principles:

  • Dust Capture Process: When dust-laden gas enters the collector, dust particles collide with and adhere to the filter fibers due to inertial forces.

  • Filtration & Separation: Dust accumulates on the outer surface of the bag, while clean air passes through the fabric into the inner chamber.

  • Structural Support: An internal cage prevents bag collapse and aids in dust dislodgement and redistribution.

In pulse-jet and compartmentalized pulse baghouses, dust primarily collects on the outer surface, significantly improving filtration efficiency and cleaning performance.

Three Main Types of Dust Collector Bags

1. Standard-Temperature Filter Bags

  • Materials: Polyester, polypropylene, acrylic fibers (non-woven process)

  • Key Features:

    • Excellent breathability

    • High surface smoothness

    • Dimensional stability

    • Easy dust release

  • Applications: General industrial dust control & standard-temperature gas filtration

2. Medium-Temperature Filter Bags

  • Advancements: With technological progress, China has developed high-performance filter media for harsh conditions.

  • Primary Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) fiber series

  • Special Treatments: Waterproof, oil-resistant, anti-corrosion coatings

  • Performance: Maintains optimal filtration in moderately demanding environments

3. High-Temperature Filter Bags

  • Common Materials:

  • Manufacturing: High-temperature resistant weaving/non-woven processes

  • Key Advantages:

    • Exceptional thermal stability

    • Ultra-high filtration efficiency

    • Extended service life

  • Special Applications:

    • Extreme conditions: DWD material

    • Standard dust collection: Polyester variants

5 Key Factors for Selecting Filter Bags

To ensure optimal dust collection system performance, consider:

  1. Gas Temperature – Select appropriate heat-resistant materials

  2. Humidity & Chemical Composition – Assess moisture and corrosive elements

  3. Particle Characteristics – Size, shape, and physical properties

  4. Dust Load Concentration – System design capacity

  5. Filtration Velocity – Critical for efficiency and bag lifespan

  6. Cleaning Mechanism – Impacts material selection and bag structure
