Pleated Filter Bag Cages

Pleated filter bag cages are specifically engineered to support pleated (star-shaped or cylindrical) filter bags, offering a high-efficiency solution for modern dust collection systems. Unlike traditional round bag cages, pleated cages provide increased filtration surface area in the same—or even reduced—installation space, allowing for higher air volume throughput, lower differential pressure, and compact system design.

Why Pleated Filter Bag Cages?

The pleated structure increases the surface area of the filter bag by 1.5x to 2.5x compared to traditional cylindrical bags, which translates into:

  • Enhanced filtration performance
  • Lower pressure drop
  • Energy savings for fan operation
  • Reduced system footprint
  • Longer bag life due to distributed dust load

🔧 Application Scenarios

Pleated filter bag cages are ideal for high-performance industrial dust collection where space optimization and airflow efficiency are critical:

  • Pharmaceutical & Chemical Plants – where compact systems are required in cleanroom environments
  • Food Processing Industries – where air purity and space-saving are priorities
  • Battery Material & Fine Powder Processing – for high filtration surface demand
  • Cement and Minerals – to retrofit existing systems and improve efficiency
  • Waste Incineration and Hazardous Dust – where fine particle control is essential

They are especially favored in retrofit applications where increasing capacity without modifying the entire dust collector is necessary.
