Pocket filters
Bag filters are essential filters for purifying air in various air filtration systems such as air handling units or other ventilation systems. A bag filter is designed to remove (fine) dust, odours and viruses from the air.
Thanks to their versatility and high efficiency, pocket filters are widely used in environments where clean air is of paramount importance.
What is a pocket filter?
A pocket filter is an air filter consisting of a series of bag-shaped layers that capture air particles and unwanted substances while allowing clean air to pass through. The bags are made of special materials such as synthetic and fibreglass, which trap dust and dirt while ensuring a smooth air flow. A pocket filter is ideal for processing large volumes of air and removing both coarse and fine particles.
Where is a pocket filter used?
Pocket filters are mainly used in ventilation systems, air handling units and industrial dust extraction systems. These air purification systems are designed to process large volumes of air and play an important role in ensuring a healthy and comfortable indoor climate.
Bag filters are used in various sectors. In the food industry, bag filters are used to purify air during production processes, thereby preventing contamination.
In the pharmaceutical sector, they are indispensable for meeting air quality standards, for example in cleanrooms. In chemical factories, pocket filters ensure that hazardous particles are captured, protecting both the equipment and the people working in the factories. Pocket filters are also used in the metalworking and woodworking industries to capture dust and fine particles released during production processes. In addition, pocket filters play an important role in commercial buildings such as offices and hospitals, where they contribute to healthy indoor air quality.
What types of pocket filters are available?
There are different types of pocket filters available, depending on the requirements of the application. Low-efficiency filters such as G4 filter class filters are used for coarse dust, while high-efficiency filters such as M5, M6 or F7 filter class filters are suitable for removing fine particles. Some models, such as pocket filters with a filter class of F9, are designed for extreme conditions, such as high temperatures or aggressive chemical environments.
There are various types of pocket filter materials, each with specific properties that suit different applications:
- Synthetic pocket filters: These filters are made from durable synthetic material and offer an excellent balance between efficiency and low air resistance. They are ideal for general air filtration in ventilation and air conditioning systems.
- Glass fibre pocket filters: These filters have a high dust holding capacity and are particularly suitable for applications where high filtration efficiency is required, such as in industrial environments.
- Activated carbon pocket filters: Activated carbon pocket filters are the perfect choice for removing odours and harmful gases from the air. They are often used in situations where odour control is crucial.
- Nanowave pocket filters: Thanks to advanced nanotechnology, these filters offer exceptionally high efficiency and an extra-long service life. They are ideal for applications where both fine dust and energy savings are important.
- Rigid pocket filters: These rigid pocket filters maintain their shape under high airflows and offer reliable performance in demanding environments, such as heavy industrial applications.
How do you replace pocket filters?
Replacing a pocket filter is a relatively simple process, but it requires attention to detail. First, the system must be switched off to ensure a safe working environment. Next, the old pocket filter is removed and the filter housing is checked and cleaned. The new filter can then be installed, whereby it is important to follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions carefully. This ensures optimal performance and a longer filter life.
