Reliable Filter Bags for Harsh Environments and Chemical Exposure

GORE Filter Bags are constructed using advanced materials, including expanded PTFE, a highly versatile material that is chemically inert, durable and resistant to extreme temperatures. These attributes make our filters reliable in harsh conditions, over time and when interacting with harmful chemicals.

Some benefits include:

  • longer filter bag life
  • greater airflow
  • greater efficiency
  • lower emissions
  • less unscheduled downtime
  • higher productivity
  • lower cost of ownership

Applications for Filtration Solutions

  • Chemicals Processing: dryers, bin vents, and nuisance dust collectors in the pigment, plastic and catalyst industries
  • Minerals Processing: Coal mill collectors, finish mills, raw mills, bulk pneumatic conveying, bin vent dust collectors, dryer baghouses in the gypsum industry and clinker cooler baghouses. 
  • Metals Processing: High temperature process collectors for lead oxide and electric arc furnace baghouses in the steel industry.
  • Power Generation and Incineration: Fly ash handling collectors, material handling for coal and limestone

What Do Filter Bags Cost?

Our filter bags deliver the filtration industry’s lowest available total cost of ownership, which goes beyond the price of filter bags to consider what your filtration system will cost you over time.

Several factors impact the total cost of ownership for a baghouse, including:

  • duration of product life
  • costs of maintenance and cleaning
  • energy cost of fans that move air through a baghouse
  • purchase price of filter bags
  • labor cost to install filter bags

GORE Filter Bags deliver exceptional value. With your bags, you get a cutting-edge membrane laminate, robust filter bag design and construction, a system approach optimized for your baghouse and technical support for the life of your filter bags — along with the reliability our customers come to expect from Gore. 

With these factors combined, we provide the lowest total cost of ownership available in a filtration system.

Determine Your Total Cost

We design our filter bags for each customer’s specific application. The following basic information will help us to help you quickly:

  • filter bag size, current material and quantity
  • baghouse operating parameters (e.g.: airflow rate, temperature, differential pressure)
  • particulate description (ideally including concentration, particle size, bulk density)
  • cleaning cycle parameters (e.g.: pulse jet pressure, cycle time)

Customized Solutions for Your Needs 

When you buy baghouse filter bags from Gore, you are buying a partnership with one of the world’s most trusted, time-honored manufacturers and a system approach tailored to your specific needs. 

There is no off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all baghouse filter – your bags are customized to your application.

The steps involved in our customized approach include: 

  • Determine, design and manufacture the filter bags that fit your specific application and process
  • Analyze and optimize your total system performance
  • Provide technical support and troubleshooting for the lifetime of the filter bags – from design/installation to optimizing flow and cleaning parameters.
