How Do Baghouse Filters Work?
Having the correct filters is key to optimizing the performance of a dust collection system. Baghouses utilize fabric filter bags or pleated filters and are engineered to capture dust and particulates and exhaust clean air. Choosing the right filter media results in efficient dust capture. Determining filter size and type depends on the specific application.
Competitive Fit Replacements
For accurate measurements for your replacement order simply pull out one of your currently installed filters to measure. We can provide filter bags with diameters as small as 2 ½” to as large as 48”, and filter bags are available in virtually any length you require.
In Pulse Jet and Plenum Pulse systems, the dust is collected on the outside of the filter bag and the clean air exits through the inside of the bag. The bag is supported by a wire cage to prevent the bag from collapsing during operation. These systems generally utilize needlefelt medias.
In a ‘Top Load’ system, the filter bag and cages are installed from the clean air side of the cell plate while with Bottom Load, they are installed from the dirty air/hopper side of the unit.

In Shaker and Reverse Air cleaning systems, the dust is collected on the inside of the filter bag. Since the bag is inflated by the air/dust stream, support cages are not required. The filtered air exits through the outside surface of the bags. Shaker and reverse air systems mostly use woven filter medias. Many configurations are available to suit the needs of most dust collectors.

Filter Bag Media Options
As a general rule, Pulse Jet and Plenum Pulse cleaning systems utilize needle felt medias, while Shaker and Reverse Air systems use woven medias. Medias are manufactured from a variety of man-made fibers and are selected based on a number of factors including: operating temperature, chemical components in the dust stream, abrasiveness of the dust being handled as well as other characteristics of the particular systems usage.
