Bag Air Filter FAQ

1. What filtration efficiencies are available?

Our bag air filters are available in multiple efficiency grades, including Coarse 50%–90%, ePM10, ePM2.5, and ePM1, classified according to ISO 16890. Different grades are suitable for pre-filtration, medium filtration, and fine filtration in commercial and industrial HVAC systems. 

2. Which applications are bag air filters suitable for?

Bag air filters are widely used in:

• Commercial office buildings

• Hospitals and healthcare facilities

• Shopping malls

• Pharmaceutical factories

• Food processing plants

• Electronic manufacturing

• Hotels

• Schools

• Airports

• Data centers

• Industrial HVAC systems

They are commonly installed as primary or secondary filters in Air Handling Units (AHUs).

3. How often should bag air filters be replaced?

Replacement frequency depends on operating conditions, dust concentration, airflow, and filter grade.

Typical service life:

• Commercial buildings: 4–8 months

• Industrial environments: 3–6 months

• Clean environments: 6–12 months

Regular inspection of pressure drop is recommended for optimal performance.

4. Can you manufacture custom sizes?

Yes.

We can produce customized:

• Width

• Height

• Depth

• Number of pockets

• Pocket length

• Frame material

• Filter media
