Omela Industrial Filter Bag Cages

1. What Filter Bag Cages are?

Filter Bag Cages are the internal frames or skeletons inserted into filter bags of baghouse / dust-collector systems, providing structural support so bags maintain their shape under airflow or pressure.

Best use scenarios — Industrial dust collection, flue-gas cleaning, cement & mineral plants, metal processing, waste-incineration, high-dust load air filtration, any baghouse filter system.

Compatible industries — Cement, steel & metallurgy, power plants, waste incineration, mining, mineral processing, chemicals, general industrial dust control.

Key Selection Criteria:

  • Cage Material — carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel (304/316), or titanium depending on corrosion, temperature, and gas chemistry
  • Corrosion & Heat Resistance — required for high-temperature flue gas, acidic/alkaline exhaust, or moisture-rich environments.
  • Wire Diameter & Rigidity — determines cage strength; thicker wires improve durability under pulse-jet cleaning.
  • Cage Diameter & Length — must match filter bag dimensions to prevent bag stretching, sagging, or abrasion.
  • Ring Spacing & Cage Structure — influences bag stability, dust release behavior, and pulse-jet cleaning efficiency.
  • Surface Treatment / Coating — silicon, epoxy, PTFE, or PVC for added corrosion, abrasion, or moisture resistance.
  • Compatibility With Filter Bags — snap-band type, venturi fit, bag diameter tolerance, pleated or round design
  • Mechanical Stability — ability to withstand cyclic cleaning pressure, vibration, and long-term mechanical load.

WOVEN FILTER CLOTH
APPLICATIONS

Filter bag cages are essential structural supports inside industrial baghouses, ensuring optimal filter bag shape, maximizing dust-capture efficiency, and maintaining stable airflow in demanding particulate-control environments.

cement application

Cement & Mineral Processing

Filter bag cages provide dimensional stability and strong mechanical support inside cement kilns and mineral-processing baghouses. They help resist abrasion from clinker dust, maintain bag shape under high gas temperatures, and improve pulse-jet cleaning performance—ensuring consistent particulate control in cement plants, lime plants, and mineral grinding systems.

Waste-Incineration & Environmental Control application

Waste-Incineration & Environmental Control

Municipal and industrial incinerators produce corrosive, fine-particle exhaust; cages engineered with stainless steel, titanium, or special coatings (epoxy, silicone, PTFE) provide superior corrosion resistance and structural integrity. They improve dust-collection reliability under extreme chemical and thermal stress.

Power Plants & Industrial Boilers application

Power Plants & Industrial Boilers

Coal-fired boilers, biomass power plants, and industrial heating systems rely on filter bag cages for stable flue-gas filtration. Proper cage rigidity and ring spacing ensure optimal pulse-jet cleaning, reduced pressure drop, and long bag life while capturing fly ash and fine particulates from high-temperature exhaust streams.

4. Filter Bag Cage Selection Guide

01
Cage Material & Corrosion Resistance

The foundation of cage performance lies in the material used. Common options include carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel (304/316), and titanium. Material selection directly determines resistance to high temperatures, acidic/alkaline flue gas, moisture-rich environments, and corrosion. Stainless steel or coated cages are preferred for applications involving corrosive gases, high humidity, or continuous high-temperature operation.

02
Wire Diameter, Number of Wires & Structural Rigidity

Wire diameter (2–5 mm), wire count (8/10/12/16/20/24), and ring spacing (6 or 8 inches) collectively define the cage’s rigidity and ability to maintain bag shape under reverse-pulse cleaning. Thicker wires and higher wire counts increase strength, reduce deformation, and minimize bag abrasion—directly extending filter bag life and improving filtration stability.

03
Cage Geometry & Dimensional Compatibility

The cage geometry—round, oval, diamond, or pleated—must precisely match the filter bag dimensions. Proper alignment ensures smooth airflow, prevents bag stretching or sagging, and reduces wear points. Key dimensions include cage diameter (100–200 mm), length (customized), and ring spacing. Accurate sizing ensures stable cleaning behavior and consistent differential pressure.

04
Surface Coatings & Environmental Protection

Surface treatments significantly enhance durability in demanding environments. Common finishes include epoxy coating, silicone coating, PVC vinyl coating, and PTFE coating. These treatments improve corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, moisture resistance, and high-temperature stability—making them essential in cement plants, steel mills, waste incinerators, and chemical processing facilities.

05
Connection Design: Venturi, Flange & Collar Fitment

The connection method influences cage stability, sealing, and pulse-jet cleaning efficiency.Venturi improves reverse-pulse acceleration and enhances cleaning intensity. Collars and flanges ensure secure seating inside the baghouse tube sheet.

5. Shapes of Filter Bag Cages

Filter bag cages are the internal frames or skeletons installed inside filter bags of baghouse / dust-collector systems. They support the fabric against airflow and pulsing pressure so the bags keep their shape, avoid collapse, and maintain a stable filtration area throughout the entire service life.

Available cage shapes:

  • Round Cages: The most common shape, round cages provide uniform support and airflow distribution. They are easy to manufacture and fit standard cylindrical filter bags.
  • Oval Cages: Oval cages are used in applications requiring a larger filtration area within a compact footprint. They help optimize space while maintaining effective bag support.
  • Diamond Cages: Diamond-shaped cages enhance pulse-jet cleaning efficiency by promoting better air circulation around the bag surface. They are often used in high-dust-loading applications.
  • Pleated Cages: Pleated cages are designed for pleated filter bags, providing additional surface area for filtration. They improve dust-holding capacity and reduce pressure drop.

By combining the right cage shape with the correct material and coating, Omela helps optimize dust capture efficiency, bag life, and overall baghouse performance.
