Pulse-Jet Baghouse Filter Bags
Pulse-Jet and plenum pulse baghouses collect dust on the outside of the filter bag. Dust-laden gas floods the baghouse, and clean air exits through the inside of the filter bag while the dust particles collect on the outside filter bag surface.
A support cage prevents filter bag collapse during filtration, and aids in the re-distribution and cleaning of the dustcake. A wide variety of filter bags can be manufactured to meet specific application needs.
Reverse Air Baghouse Filter Bags
Particulate is collected on the inside surface of the filter bag in using reverse air cleaning systems. The dust-laden gas enters through the dirty side (inlet) of the collector and flows up through the filter bag. The particulate is filtered by the dustcake and the fabric, and clean air exits through the outside of the filter bag. The steel bottom protects the filter bag from collapsing. Reverse air bag top and bottom designs vary by cleaning system and original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
IAC offers several different top and bottom designs for reverse air baghouse dust collectors. Clamps, bottoms, and additional accessories can be provided to complete your reverse air filter bag order.
Shaker Baghouse Filter Bags
Particulate is collected on the inside surface of the bag in baghouses using shaker cleaning systems. The dust-laden gas enters through the dirty side (inlet) of the collector and flows up through the bag. The particulate is filtered by the dustcake and the fabric, and clean air exits through the outside of the bag. Shaker baghouse filters top and bottom designs vary by cleaning system and original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
IAC supplies wide selection of filter bags for shaker style dust collectors. Our sales engineers can suggest the media that will keep your shaker unit running at peak efficiency.
You’ll find IAC provides everything you need to complete your shaker filter bag order. We carry a wide variety of top and bottom attachments to fit your shaker structure. If the parts we carry in stock simply don’t work for your application, then we can custom design top attachments for you. We also offer additional accessories for your filter bags including bag clamps, abrasion protection parts, and more.

finishes
Singe
Available on polyester, polypropylene, homopolymer acrylic, Aramid, PPS, and P-84. This finish is used on the collection surface of the bag to promote particulate discharge during cleaning.
Glaze
Available on polyester and polypropylene. This finish is used in a manner similar to the singe, but with greater discharge capabilities. Good for handling sticky/agglomerating particulate.
Flame Retardant
Available on polyester, polypropylene, and cotton.
HCE Silicone
Available on polyester, polypropylene, homopolymer acrylic, and Aramid. This finish is used to provide water repellency, abrasion resistance, and high collection efficiency (HCE). Resists degradation of treatment by oils or typical baghouse cleaning cycle.

COATINGS
TuffCoat
Available on polyester and homopolymer acrylic. This coating is applied to the collection surface of the filter media. Its cellular structure provides enhanced collection efficiency while maintaining good airflow. The slick surface promotes particulate discharge during cleaning.
PTFE Coating
Available on polyester, polypropylene, homopolymer acrylic and Aramid. The PTFE polymers allow for the engineering of smaller pore size which provide enhanced efficiency while handling particulate with median particle sizes of less than 10 microns. This coating is applied to the collection surface of the filter media and provides increased chemical resistance, moisture resistance, and a slick surface to promote particulate discharge.
PTFE Membrane
Available on polyester, polypropylene, homopolymer acrylic, Aramid, PPS, P-84 ©, and glass. This product is produced by heat laminating an expanded PTFE membrane to one of the aforementioned base media. The membrane laminated products provide the highest collection
