Those who work in our industry often hear and ask themselves this question.
There is no definitive answer, even if we list the pros and cons…
The choice depends on various factors including processing, type of powder and quantity.
Both filter media use mechanical filtration, i.e. particulate separation is achieved by directing the airy flow into a special filtering surface, which retains the pollutant particles, but it is very important to know the physical, chemical and dimensional characteristics of the pollutant in order to make the ideal choice.
The obvious difference between the two types of filtration is the large difference in filtering surface area with the same size filter.
In fact, filter cartridges have a larger filtering surface area than filter bags, and thanks to this difference it is possible to reduce the size of the filter.
They are a very good choice in case of fine dusts, which do not clog the filter too much and do not have a tendency to stick.
Bag filters are particularly popular because they are easy to maintain and can handle a wider range of pollutants.
It is very important to understand, in addition to the choice of bag or cartridge, which filter media to choose according to the pollutant to be treated.
Both bags and cartridges can be produced in various types of filter media.
Making the right choice is very important in terms of efficiency and also in economic terms for a company.
