FMS Filter Bags

FMS Filter Bags Overview

FMS filter bags are developed for processes where heat, abrasion, and corrosive gas chemistry converge—conditions that rapidly destroy conventional felts. By combining glass fiber with high-temperature resistant felts such as P84, FMS media forms a reinforced structure capable of withstanding:

  • continuous heat around 200–260 °C
  • peak temperatures approaching 280–300 °C
  • abrasive dust from kilns, smelters, and furnaces
  • corrosive vapors such as acids, alkalis, and industrial solvents

Compared with basic glass-fiber felt, FMS offers superior abrasion resistance, better pulse-cleaning performance, and significantly longer lifetime in fluctuating operating conditions. It is particularly effective in high dust-loading applications and environments where temperature, chemistry, and particulate characteristics change unpredictably throughout the day.

Typical operating advantages include:

  • excellent thermal stability under repeated cycling
  • strong chemical tolerance
  • stable permeability and airflow
  • reliable structure under high A/C ratio filters
  • prolonged service life in cement, steel, waste-to-energy, and smelting sectors

Why FMS Outperforms Conventional High-Temperature Media

01
Maintains Filtration Stability in Extreme, High-Load Conditions

The composite depth-filter structure captures fine particulates while keeping airflow steady. Even as dust quantity fluctuates, FMS delivers predictable emissions and ΔP values.

02
Confident Operation at High Temperatures

FMS stays mechanically stable between 200 and 260 °C and tolerates thermal shocks that make ordinary felts harden, shrink, or crack. This durability reduces sudden failures and unplanned stoppages.

03
Strong Resistance to Corrosive Gas Chemistry

Acidic vapors, alkali attack, and solvent exposure—common in kilns, incinerators, chemical plants, and smelters—are conditions where FMS excels. Its composite fibers preserve tensile strength and permeability longer than standard glass felt.

04
Lower Pressure Drop and Improved Energy Efficiency

With the appropriate finish, FMS develops a uniform dust cake that releases effectively during pulsing. A thinner residual layer means lower fan load, more stable airflow uniformity, and better compartment balance.

05
Longer Operational Lifespan and Reduced Maintenance

In real installations, well-engineered FMS bags frequently outperform glass-felt or polyester blends, cutting replacement frequency and enabling predictable maintenance planning—all while lowering overall filtration cost.

Delivering Composite High-Temperature Filtration Through Expertise and Engineered FMS Media

280 °C
High-Temperature Composite Stability

FMS composite media, combining alkali-free glass fiber with high-temperature felts such as P84, tolerates instant peaks up to around 280 °C and long-term service in the 200 °C range, while maintaining dimensional stability under repeated thermal cycling.

2–3×
Extended Service Lifetime in Harsh Duty

In real cement, steel and waste-to-energy plants, well-engineered FMS bags often deliver two to three times the service lifetime of standard glass-felt or blended media, reducing change-outs, scaffolding work, and unplanned shutdowns.

INDUSTRIAL
APPLICATIONS

From cement kilns and steel furnaces to waste-to-energy and smelting operations, FMS filter bags deliver stable emissions control wherever high temperature, abrasive dust, or corrosive flue gas is present.

Waste-to-Energy & Incineration Systems

Waste-to-Energy & Incineration Systems

Flue gas conditions in WtE plants are chemically aggressive and highly variable. FMS withstands corrosive components and abrasive ash, enabling stable compliance with tightening emission regulations.

Cement & Lime Production

Cement & Lime Production

Cement kilns generate high temperatures, fine alkaline dust, and heavy mechanical stress. FMS resists alkali corrosion, abrasive particulate, and cyclic thermal loading—ideal for kiln inlet, clinker cooler, and raw mill baghouses.

Steel, Smelting & Metallurgy

Steel, Smelting & Metallurgy

Metallurgical processes release hot fumes rich in metal oxides and corrosive vapors. FMS media protects downstream equipment and provides dependable performance even when gas chemistry shifts throughout operations.
