Omela Baghouse Dust Filter Bags

1. What Is a Dust Filter Bag?

A dust filter bag is a high-performance textile element used inside a baghouse dust collector to separate fine particulate from industrial process air. As dirty gas flows through the filter media, dust forms a stable “dust cake” on the surface, which performs the actual filtration.

The combination of filter media properties, air-to-cloth ratio, operating temperature, chemical composition, and cleaning method determines how well the filter bag performs.

  • Dust-laden air passes through the filter bag.
  • Particulate accumulates on the surface, forming a filtration layer.
  • Clean air exits the baghouse
  • Pulse jet or reverse-air cleaning periodically removes excess dust cake.

A well-engineered filter bag ensures:

  • Low pressure drop
  • High filtration efficiency
  • Stable system operation
  • Extended service life

Industrial dust filtration relies heavily on well-designed, properly selected, and precisely manufactured dust filter bags. As the core component of a baghouse system, filter bags directly determine dust collection efficiency, emission levels, energy consumption, and overall system stability.

5. Dust Filter Bag Selection Guide

01
Dust Properties

The characteristics of your dust determine the required filter media. Key factors: particle size, abrasiveness, chemistry, moisture/oil content, and operating temperature .

02
Filter Media Options

Each media offers different temperature, chemical, and mechanical performance. Common choices: Polyester, Polypropylene, Aramid, PPS, Fiberglass, PTFE.

03
Surface Finishes

Treatments that improve efficiency and extend service life: PTFE membrane, singed/glazed surface, calendering, anti-static, oil & water repellent .

04
Filter Bag Construction

Proper construction ensures efficiency and durability.Includes: top and bottom designs, stitching type, reinforcement, seam sealing/taping .

05
Air-to-Cloth Ratio

The A/C ratio affects airflow, bag life, and system performance. Choosing the right ratio reduces pressure drop, energy consumption, and extends filter life.
