Bag filter is a common filtration equipment widely used in chemical, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, electric power and other industries. It intercepts impurities in the liquid through the filter bag to achieve high efficiency filtration. Filter bags are becoming increasingly popular in the market due to their suitability for a wide range of applications and ease of replacement. In order to ensure optimal bag filtration performance, it is important to choose the right bag filter housing material for use.
Working Principle of Bag Filters
The liquid to be filtered enters the filter bag from the top or side and is supported by a basket that withstands the mechanical load. As the liquid passes through the filter bag, contaminants are trapped, and the purified liquid is discharged from the bottom outlet. During the filtration process, the upstream pressure gradually increases until the filter bag becomes completely blocked. At this point, the filter bag needs to be manually replaced or switched to another filter through a valve.
Advantages of Bag Filters
The use of bag filters has the following advantages:
- Good sealing performance: The structure is designed to have strong circulation capability and is easy to clean.
- High filtration efficiency: It minimizes the possibility of leakage and is resistant to corrosion and high temperatures.
- Large dirt-holding capacity: It is suitable for handling high-viscosity liquids and large volume flows.
Types of Filter Bags for Bag Filters
Based on the number of filter bags, bag filter housings can be divided into two types:
- Single-bag filter: As the name suggests, it can accommodate only one filter bag. Suitable for small flow and low precision filtration.
- Multi-bag filter: It can accommodate multiple filter bags, providing higher filtration efficiency and larger dirt-holding capacity. It is suitable for high-flow and high-precision filtration applications.
Bag Filter Housing Materials
Bag filter housings are primarily made of two materials: stainless steel and plastic.
- Stainless steel bag filter housing: it has the advantages of corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, high compressive strength, etc. It is suitable for harsh working conditions, such as chemical, petroleum, natural gas and other industries.
- Plastic bag filter housing: with the advantages of light weight, low cost, easy processing, etc., applicable to water treatment, food and beverage industries.
Applications of Different Materials for Bag Filter Housings
Bag filters are widely used in various industries. Both stainless steel and plastic housings perform well in suitable applications.
- Stainless steel bag filter housing: Widely used in industries such as food and beverage, paints, coolants, water treatment, chemical, pharmaceutical, and automotive.
- Plastic bag filter housing: Suitable for applications such as reverse osmosis systems, petroleum and natural gas, seawater desalination, petrochemicals, food and beverage, and pre-filtration of chemicals.
How to Choose the Right Bag Filter
The following factors need to be considered for selecting a suitable bag filter:
- Working conditions: select the suitable material and structure according to the medium, temperature, pressure and other factors of the filtered liquid.
- Flow rate requirements: select the appropriate size and number of filter bags according to the filtration flow rate.
- Chemical compatibility: the filter bag material needs to be compatible with the viscosity, corrosiveness and chemical composition of the filtered liquid.
- Cost and service life: Stainless steel housings are durable but have a high initial investment, while plastic housings are an economical alternative.
