A filter bag is filtration technology for filtering dust in a baghouse. It separates dust, harmful substances and also products from gas flows. Filter bags consist of needle felt or fabrics made of synthetic fibers. The needle felt is optimally adjusted for the application case at hand. The internal support fabric gives the filter bag additional strength that makes both frequent bag cleaning and a long service life possible.

Reverse Air Filter Bags
Reverse air filter bags are suspended from the filter housing at the closed top end and fastened to the head plate at their open bottom end.
- Large filter bag dimensions (diameter up to 300 mm, length up to 12,000 mm)
- Basis weight is usually between 400 – 450 g/m²
- For high exhaust gas volumes
- Quasi-continuous operation
Cartridge Filter
Cartridge filters are large Diameter (>8” OD) that are used to clean air stream with low to moderate grain loading, while minimizing the footprint of the Dust Collector. The Cartridge Filter has a high cloth area relative to the filter’s height due to the pleated filtration media. The Cartridge Filter can be used in gas stream up to moderator temperature, depending on the filtration media and potting compound used to retain the pleats’ structure.
Cages
Supporting cages and filter bags work together in the baghouse, with their interaction determining the efficiency of the baghouse and the service life of the filter bag. The filter bag and supporting cage must be optimally matched to each other to ensure a perfectly functioning baghouse. AKMARTI also supplies customers with matching supporting cages for all ready-made filter bags.
Supporting cages are available in the following shapes and materials:
- Round or star-shaped for filter bags
- Flat for flat bags or filter bags
- Oval for oval filter bags
- Rectangular for filter bags
- Steel or stainless steel
