Filter bags are sewn or welded bag-shaped filter elements made from PP, PE, Nylon monofilament or non-woven felt media, used with single-bag or multi-bag housings as the preferred choice for high-flow, low-cost pre-filtration. Compared with pleated cartridges, filter bags offer high dirt-holding capacity, easy changeout, and reusability (felt excluded), reducing operating cost by 60% or more.
Two product lines are offered by performance: Standard Grade — felt non-woven media at 1–200μm rated retention for general particulate capture; Absolute Grade — melt-blown or thermally-bonded media with ≥99% single-pass retention efficiency for GMP pharmaceutical, chemical point-of-use, and semiconductor pre-filtration. Anode bags for plating use PP or Nylon media qualified for acidic, alkaline and electrolyte environments.
Typical applications: chemical reactor feed pre-filtration, paint and ink clarification, PCB plating bath anode isolation, display fab high-flow water reclaim, food & beverage syrup clarification, oilfield production fluid and frac fluid filtration, and wastewater treatment feed pretreatment.

Industrial Filter Bag Selection Guide: Evaluating Material, Pore Rating, and Service Life Trade-offs
Incorrect filter bag selection causes unplanned downtime and quality failures in industrial plants. This guide systematically covers the five main materials (PE / PP / Nylon / PTFE / Nomex) — their chemical compatibility and temperature limits — explains surface vs. depth filtration mechanism differences (nominal vs. absolute pore ratings), compares sewn vs. welded seam safety, matches the four standard bag sizes (#1/#2/#3/#4) to flow requirements, and builds a TCO calculation framework using DHC × replacement frequency × downtime cost, with industry-specific recommendations for paint, food, water treatment, and electroplating applications.
