Pleated Filter Bags vs. Bag Filters
THE ADVANTAGES OF PLEATED BAGS
Increased durability, better efficiency, energy savings and easier installation
| BAG FILTER | PLEATED BAGS |
| Max. 33 feet long | Max. 80 inches long |
Benefits of Pleated Bags
- Polyester media and polyurethane end caps in the bottom prevent abrasion/leaks
-
Can be retrofitted into existing baghouse using existing tubesheets
-
Short pleated filter bags minimize need for investing in large bag collectors and require less air for pulse cleaning
Bag Filters vs. Pleated Bags
| Conventional bag filter | Pleat Plus® Pleated Filter Bag |
| Filter length | Max. 33 Feet | Max. 80 Inches |
| Filter surface area | Conventional | 2-3 times larger than bag filter |
| Life cycle | Normal | Excellent |
| Installation/ Maintenance | Labor Intensive | 60% lower installation and maintenance costs |
| Abrasion/Leaks | Can occur | Lower Abrasion risks – out of the abrasion path |
| Emission level | Limited | Up to 58% lower emission level |
| Power consumption | Acceptable | Up to 50% lower energy consumption |
| Air required for cleaning | As designed | 50%-70% less cleaning consumed |
| Flow(ACFM) | Limited | 20% higher throughput/ACFM |
| Pressure Drop | As designed | 20% lower than conventional filter bag |
| Drop Out Box | Small | Larger |
Depth versus surface filtration
Pleated filter bags are surface filtration filters.
BENEFITS OF SURFACE FILTRATION:
> Less accumulation of dust
> Less pressure drop
> Longer filter life cycle
