Description
Polyester filter bags, used for dust and particle removal in various industries, are made by needle-punching polyester fibers, and can be treated for water and oil resistance, anti-static properties, and more.
Here’s a more detailed look at polyester needle felt filter bags:
Manufacturing and Properties:
-
Material: These bags are crafted from 100% polyester fibers that are needle-punched to create a durable, non-woven felt fabric.
-
Needle Punching: The polyester fibers are interlaced and compacted using needle-punching process, creating a strong and porous filter medium.
-
Treatments:
The felt fabric can undergo various treatments, including:
- Water and Oil Repellency: Impregnation with a special resin to prevent moisture and oil from penetrating the filter.
- Anti-static: To prevent the buildup of static electricity and dust attraction.
- PTFE Membrane: A thin layer of PTFE (Teflon) can be added for enhanced filtration efficiency and durability.
-
Construction: The fabric is cut and sewn into bags, with a flexible ring sewn to the top for easy attachment to the filter cage.
-
Durability: These bags are known for their resistance to breaking, tearing, and abrasion.
-
Versatility: Polyester needle felt is versatile and widely used for various applications, including dust removal in industries like mining, cement production, and steel making.
-
Temperature Resistance: Polyester filter bags can typically withstand temperatures up to 150°C in dry conditions, but moisture can reduce their performance.
Applications:
- Mining and Crushing: Used for separation and purification of dust and particles in these industries.
- Baghouse Systems: Common in baghouse systems for dust collection and filtration.
- General Filtration: Used in various applications for filtering air, liquids, and gases.
- Food Grade Applications: Some polyester felt materials are FDA compliant for use in food processing.
Advantages:
- Cost-Effective: Polyester felt is a relatively inexpensive filter medium.
- High Filtration Efficiency: The needle-punched construction and various treatments allow for efficient dust and particle removal.
- Durability: Resistant to tearing, abrasion, and chemicals.
- Versatile: Suitable for a wide range of applications and industries.
Finish Treatment:
- Antistatic Line Type (AS–L).
- Antistatic Blend Type (AS–B).
- Antistatic Cross Line Type (AS-X).
- PTFE Membrane (M).
- PTFE impregnation (TPI).
- Water & Oil Repellent (WR).
