Torn filter bags are a common problem in industrial filtration processes. Tears are mostly caused by backflow. Backflow sometimes leads to filter bags folding over on themselves, causing them to be pushed back out and tearing when the process restarts and the bags are pressurised again.
Broken filter bags lead to unwanted process downtime, fouling and unnecessary extra costs. Luckily, there is an effective solution: backwash supports!
What are backwash supports?
Backwash supports are metal elements fitted on the inside of a filter bag. They support the filter bags and make sure they do not fold, not even when there is backflow. As a result, the filter bags cannot move. In short, this means no more torn filter bags.
