Bag Filtration   'The cheapest way to handle the removal of coarse bulk solids'     For years, bag filtration has been used as the most economic method of removing bulk particulate. With such traditional applications still deamanding consistent performance and an increase in processes of a more critical nature, an expanded bag range has evolved.   Technical advances in bag and housing design have led to new bag filtration products,  with ease of use and greater filtration accuracy being key elements of design improvements.     New stainless steel housing range Economy aluminium and polypropylene housings Housings flow rate capacity up to 300m3 per hour 'Super seal' bags for superior fitting Silicone free bags Economy multifilament mesh bags All-polypropylene and polyester 'snaplok' bags Bags to suit all maufacturers' housings 1 to 1000 micron with 12 grades in between      Bag Filtration download     Size, Capacity and Flow   Six industry-sized bags are supplied to suit the majority of filter bag housings.
