Bag filters
Bag filters are the least costly solution in investing for the filtration of liquids. The liquid enters the cylindrical bag through the outer opening and flows through the filter media from the interior towards the exterior.
The choice of filter media is made according to the section of particles to be retained, the type of particles (deformable or not), the efficiency of retention, the compatibility of the media with the temperature and the potential presence of chemical agents in the liquid. The filter media is essentially made of felt woven with polypropylene and polyester. Other materials, such as nylon or PFTE, for example, are also available.
