Key Benefit

ePTFE membrane filter bags save the environment and your bottom line
Longer lasting filters expand_more
We know reduced bag life in high temperature pulse-jet baghouse is a major problem for our customers. That’s why we’ve developed the combination of the AFTm ePTFE membrane with the MettaClean fabric option. You’ll receive a product that operates at its best in high temperatures. Now you can extend the life of your filter bags while operating at peak efficiency. 
Improved baghouse efficiency expand_more
With plants increasing capacity, and being forced to reduce emissions, we have heard your requests for a new and improved membrane filter bag. ePTFE membrane filter bags improve overall baghouse operation and deliver higher throughput and energy savings.
Reduced frequency of filter cleaning expand_more
We test cleaning efficiency at our United States and Denmark laboratories to ensure our newest technology improves on current baghouse cleaning standards. ePTFE membrane filter bags improve on the cleaning efficiency of other bag types.

Product Features

Filter media and finishes
Various filter media

FLSmidth’s AFT® baghouse filter bags come in various filter media and finishes. Each fiber type has unique advantages and disadvantages. For example, if your needs are high maximum temperature and acid resistance, fiberglass would the right choice. If your temperature requirements are low and you value flex resistance, cotton would be a better option.

There are many considerations that go into choosing filter media:

  • Application
  • Process conditions
  • Gas temperature
  • Dew point
  • Dust loading
  • Particle size
  • Abrasiveness
  • Potential for process upset
  • Expected life

FLSmidth’s bag filter experts will work with you to provide you with the type of bag filter you need.

Finishes

Our baghouse filter experts will recommend the finish best suited for your process. The following finishes are available depending on the type of filter media:

  • PTFE
  • Tri-Component silicone/graphite/PTFE
  • Acid resistant
  • Singed
