Why Baghouse Filters are Better than Cartridge Collectors

By: AGET Mfg | Published February 9, 2015

No one likes to work in a dirty, dusty work environment. Loose dust in the workplace can cause trouble breathing, irritation, and can cause serious health problems for your employees down the road. If you’re in the market for a new fine dust collector, look no further than AGET’s Filterkop! The Filterkop, a baghouse filter, removes floatation dust generated by various manufacturing processes and handling.

Available in stainless or carbon steel, the Filterkop is designed to help you meet and exceed air quality standards by cleaning the air to 0.3 micron. Baghouse filters can be used in combination with AGET Exhausters or AGET Dustkop Cyclone Dust Collectors. Motorized shakers clean the filters without compressed air, ultimately keeping maintenance costs low and infrequent.

These high efficiency fabric filters often last up to 10 years, minimizing cost, downtime, and labor. Cartridge collectors, on the other hand, usually need to be replaced after several months of use and require compressed air for cleaning and are prone to freeze up during cold weather conditions.

Because baghouses don’t need to be replaced as often as cartridge collectors, they can definitely save your company money in the long-term. Additionally, baghouses are much more energy efficient than cartridges. Between the higher energy and labor costs, replacement, and downtime, the cost of using cartridge collectors can certainly add up over the course of a year.

AGET’s Filterkop baghouse is a premier and cost-effective solution to ensure a safe, dust-free work environment for you and your
employees. Contact AGET today to learn more about baghouse filters and other dust collecting solutions by calling (800) 832-2438 or by emailing sales@agetmfg.com.
