Felt Bags

Constructed using 100% synthetic fibers in polypropylene, polyester, Nomex® and Teflon®. The proper combination of fiber diameters, weights and thicknesses result in an economical depth filter media. To reduce fiber migration, Polypropylene bags are treated with a glazed finish, while Polyester and Nomex® bags are singed.

Felt bag materials meet FDA regulations.
High dirt holding capacity
Ability to remove both solid and gelatinous particles
Low cost
Singed/glaze finish on Polyester and Polypropylene reduces fiber shedding

Mesh Bags

Multifilament Mesh media is woven from threads made of smaller fibers. Bags made from this material are low cost and disposable. Monofilament Mesh is woven from single-fiber threads. The openings are square and uniform. Bags made from this material have excellent strength.

Mesh bag materials meet FDA regulations
Silicone-free construction
High flow/low pressure media
Wide chemical compatibility
Economical removal of contaminants
Temp ratings to 350°F

*Mesh bags only come in one seam style: Sewn

Felt Bag Seam Styles

Sewn Seam

Industry standard make
5 line system when sewing

Welded Seam

Fully-welded bags are available in polypropylene and polyester felt for #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 plastic flanges.

No needle holes
No thread contamination
Precision bonded cutting of the fabric edges
