Polyester Dust Collector Cartridge Filter – Large Filtration Area & Low Resistance

The pleated filter media of polyester dust collector cartridge filter are made from polyester fiber through a thermally bonded spunbond non-woven process. This design significantly increases the filtration area, effectively reduces operating resistance, and improves dust removal efficiency (with a filtration efficiency of over 99.5% for particles ≥ 0.3 μm).

It is suitable for most dust collection systems operating at ambient temperatures ( ≤ 120 °C), and is widely used in industries such as metal processing, welding and grinding, woodworking, grain, construction materials, and pharmaceuticals.

Features
  • Excellent filtration performance. Base filtration efficiency exceeds 99.5%, and with membrane treatment, filtration efficiency is further enhanced (> 99.9%).
  • High mechanical strength. Polyester fiber material offers exceptional toughness and high tensile strength at break, making it resistant to deformation and capable of withstanding frequent pulse cleaning.
  • Reusable. The cartridge filter can be washed with water or air, facilitating maintenance, extending service life, and reducing operating costs.
  • Multiple functional treatments. Custom options such as ePTFE membrane, anti-static, and flame-retardant treatments are available to meet different dust control requirements.
  • Low operating resistance & energy-saving. With a low pressure drop, the cartridge filter contributes to energy-efficient operation and making it suitable for continuous operation.
Structure
  1. Gasket: Prevents gas leakage and secures the filter cartridge in place during pulse cleaning to avoids vibration-induced displacement.
  2. Top end cap: Provides structural support, sealing, and installation positioning. Available in various styles, sizes, and materials to match different dust collector models and operating conditions.
  3. Metal outer guard mesh / band: Constructed from galvanized or stainless steel mesh or binding strap to support the filter media, reinforce the cartridge filter, and prevent deformation.
  4. Pleated filter media: Filter media is processed into a large-area, corrugated form with specific pleat pitch and height.
  5. Metal inner protective mesh: Made from galvanized or stainless steel mesh to support the filter media and enhance resistance to negative pressure.
  6. Bottom end cap: Available in closed or perforated designs, with different end cap styles, sizes, and materials according to customer requirements.
