GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags incorporate an entirely new class of membranes that acts as a true surface filter in fume and fine powder applications. The membrane provides excellent particulate capture efficiency, dust cake release and filtration performance. It can be operated at a lower differential pressure (dP), resulting in fan energy savings, longer bag life and improved process control.

This infographic illustrates the difference between non-membrane and standard membrane filter bags. Learn how GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags outperform both in terms of emission control, bag life, and energy costs.

GORE® Cooling Filters offer the most efficient and reliable cooling technology available for outdoor electronic enclosures. Unlike closed loop systems like AC and HEX, GORE Cooling Filters enable the use of DAC by providing critical environmental protection – allowing you to take full advantage of natural thermal efficiency of air.

A 260 °C (500 °F) maximum service temperature, acid-resistant fiberglass fabric filter bag for use in reverse air style dust collectors and where durability and chemical resistance are required.

A producer of cement in Mexico was looking to consistently meet maximum kiln feed. The plant selected GORE^® LOW DRAG Filter Bags to replace its existing membrane filters. The bags’ new membrane promotes increased airflow through the baghouse with persistently low differential pressure.

Cement producers need filtration solutions that meet both their productivity goals and their bottom line. When a cement plan in Canada looked for ways to improve operations in its pulse-jet baghouse, they found a simple solution that didn’t require adding more modules to the baghouse.

Coal fired power plants in India are under regulatory pressure to reduce emissions of SO₂, among other pollutants. In choosing flue gas desulfurization (FGD) solutions, plants must consider factors such as reagent cost, availability and handling, site space constraints, auxiliary power consumption, reaction byproduct disposal, fly ash preservation, and required outage time, in addition to overall cost and complexity to operate.

Read the following case study to learn how GORE® LOW DRAG Filter Bags make the difference in the production of TiO2 by helping you to reduce the need for offline cleaning while improving your production efficiency at the same time.
