Eaton ACCUGAF™ Absolute Rated Filter Bags

99.9% Efficiency (BETA 5000) for Critical Applications

ACCUGAF™ filter bags redefine the performance limits of bag filtration technology. By utilizing a sophisticated multilayered design of melt-blown polypropylene or polyester microfibers, ACCUGAF™ achieves 99.9% absolute retention (BETA 5000). This makes them a cost-effective alternative to expensive cartridge systems in high-purity industries.

Constructed with the patented SENTINEL™ seal ring, these bags eliminate bypass, ensuring that your process fluid meets the most stringent quality standards. Whether you are filtering beer, fine chemicals, or hydraulic oils, ACCUGAF™ provides the precision of a cartridge with the high flow and dirt-holding capacity of a filter bag.

ACCUGAF filter Bags are high performance, fully welded, melt-blown hydrophobic microfiber filter bags manufactured from polypropylene or polyester.  The materials and manufacturing process are silicon-free and subject to rigorous quality control procedures per ISO 9001:2015 to ensure consistency of each filter bag.  The melt-blown manufacturing process dos not require additives such as resins, binders of surface treatments; only pure polypropylene or polyester fibers.  Essentially polymer is melted and spray atomized with hot air to form filaments which are collected by a moving screen.  These fibers are further processed downstream  with calendars to produce specific densities and thicknesses.

 

The fibers used to fabricate ACCUGAF filter bags are hydrophobic/oleophilic and therefore require pre-wetting with an aqueous solution as outlined in the ACCUGAF IOM manual.  Polypropylene fibers naturally attract trace oils and thus they are also used for adsorption of oil. Each filer bag is individually sealed with a copy of the pre-wetting instructions.

 

 

All polypropylene materials used in manufacturing comply with the regulations of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 177, and EC Regulations 1935/2004 and EC Directive 2002/72/EC, as applicable for food and beverage contact.
