Action-Filtration - Pleated Baghouse Filters
Pleated baghouse filters, also known as pleated cartridge filters, are a type of air filtration system that use a pleated filter media to remove particulate matter from the air. The pleats in the filter media increase the surface area of the filter, allowing it to capture more particles and provide a longer service life than traditional bag filters. These filters are commonly used in industrial settings, such as factories and power plants, to clean the air of dust, fumes, and other particulates. They are also known for its high efficiency and low maintenance cost.
Some things to consider when using pleated bag filters compared to traditional fabric filters.
- Efficiency
Pleated bag filters have a higher filter media surface area than traditional fabric bags, which can increase the overall efficiency of the filtration system.
- Pressure Drop
Pleated filters can have a slightly higher pressure drop than traditional fabric bags due to their increased filter media surface area. This must be taken into account when selecting the correct filter size and when designing the filtration system.
- Cost
While pleated filters often have a higher initial cost than traditional fabric bags, they can provide cost savings over time through their longer service life and increased efficiency. A cost-benefit analysis can be done to evaluate the return on investment of the switch.
- Service Life
Pleated filters generally have a longer service life than traditional fabric bags, which can lead to cost savings over time by reducing the frequency of filter replacements.
- Compatibility
Pleated filters may require different hardware or bag cages than traditional fabric bags, so it is important to ensure that the existing system is compatible with the new filters.
- Installation
Pleated filter installation is different from the traditional filter installation which might require some extra time and effort during the filter replacement process, so be prepared for that.
