Polyester Liquid Filter Bags

Polyester Liquid Filter Bags Oveview

Liquid Polyester Filter Bags are high-strength, multi-layer felt filter bags engineered for liquid filtration applications requiring excellent mechanical strength, broad chemical compatibility, and stable performance up to 135–160°C.

These filter bags are ideal for:

  • Water treatment & industrial wastewater
  • Chemical and petrochemical liquids
  • Coatings, inks, adhesives
  • Food & beverage pre-filtration
  • Oils, lubricants, emulsions
  • General-purpose industrial liquid-solid separation

Key selection criteria:

  • Temperature: Continuous 120–135°C, peaks 150–160°C
  • Chemistry: Good resistance to weak acids, good solvent resistance, moderate tolerance to alkalinity
  • Particulate type: General industrial solids, pigments, organics, polymers
  • Micron range: 0.5–300 µm, depending on contamination load
  • A/C ratio & flow conditions: Stable under pulsation and high-flow systems
  • Expected service life: 2–6× longer than polypropylene in mechanical-stress or high-temperature liquid systems

Compatible Industries: Chemical processing, automotive fluids, metals finishing, food & beverage, coatings, general manufacturing.

Liquid Polyester Filter Bags Key Performance Benefits

01
Reliable Mid-Temperature Performance

Polyester felt provides stable filtration in liquid systems operating at 120–135 °C continuous with short peaks up to 150–160 °C, maintaining structure and efficiency without excessive thermal shrinkage.

02
Strong Mechanical Strength & Stability

Multi-layer needle-punched polyester felt delivers excellent mechanical strength and dimensional stability under pump pulsation, start-stop cycles, and high-flow conditions, reducing bag deformation and bypass risk.

03
Broad Chemical Compatibility

Liquid Polyester Filter Bags offer broad chemical resistance to weak acids, many organic solvents, and a moderate level of alkalinity, making them suitable for water treatment, chemicals, coatings, and general industrial liquids.

04
Wide Micron Range & High Dirt-Holding

Available in a wide 0.5–300 µm micron range, polyester bags can handle everything from fine pigments and organics to coarse particulates, providing large dirt-holding capacity and long run time between change-outs.

05
Extended Service Life vs. Polypropylene

In mid-temperature and mechanically demanding liquid systems, Liquid Polyester Filter Bags typically achieve 2–6× longer service life than polypropylene bags, reducing replacement frequency, downtime, and total filtration cost.

INDUSTRIAL
APPLICATIONS

Liquid Polyester Filter Bags are engineered for medium-temperature liquid filtration where high mechanical strength, broad chemical compatibility and stable performance up to 120–135 °C (peaks 150–160 °C) are required. Their multi-layer needle-punched felt construction delivers high dirt-holding capacity, low fibre shedding, and reliable separation performance across water, chemicals, oils, emulsions and process liquids.

Water & Wastewater Treatment

Water & Wastewater Treatment

Used as pre-filters and guard filters in cooling water, process water and industrial wastewater. Polyester liquid filter bags efficiently remove rust, scale, sand and suspended solids, protect RO/UF membranes and downstream cartridges, and help maintain stable turbidity and SDI values.

Chemical & Petrochemical Liquids

Chemical & Petrochemical Liquids

Suitable for acids, solvents, process chemicals and polymer solutions where good solvent resistance and dimensional stability are required. Polyester bags protect pumps, heat exchangers, reactors and storage tanks, reduce particle-related fouling and support predictable maintenance cycles.

Coatings, Inks & Process Liquids

Coatings, Inks & Process Liquids

Widely used in paints, inks, resins, adhesives and emulsions to remove gels, agglomerates and oversized pigments. Liquid Polyester Filter Bags help prevent nozzle plugging, streaks and surface defects, while maintaining colour consistency and viscosity in high-value formulated products.
