The Challenge
Industrial equipment like pumps, heat exchangers, and high-pressure systems are vulnerable to damage from suspended particles, scale, and debris in process fluids. Unfiltered particles can cause wear, fouling, and costly downtime.
The Solution: Protective Pre-filtration
Filter bags serve as the first line of defense, removing harmful particles before they reach sensitive equipment. This pre-filtration approach extends equipment life and reduces maintenance frequency.
Recommended Filter Selection:
- Pump Protection: Polypropylene felt (25-100 micron)
- Heat Exchanger Protection: Polyester felt (10-50 micron) for higher temperatures
- High-Pressure Applications: PTFE felt for chemical resistance
Key Benefits
- Reduces equipment wear and extends service life
- Prevents heat exchanger fouling and scaling
- Lower maintenance costs and fewer unplanned shutdowns
- Wide range of materials for chemical compatibility
Sizing Guidelines
Size 2 bags (0.5m² area) handle up to 40 m³/hr, ideal for most industrial applications. High-particle loads may require oversizing or multi-bag systems to prevent frequent changeouts.
