Eaton PROGAF™ High Performance Filter Bags

Absolute 99.9% Efficiency (BETA 5000)

PROGAF™ filter bags represent the highest tier of bag filtration technology, offering a viable alternative to expensive cartridge systems. These bags utilize a unique progressive density structure with up to 12 layers of melt-blown media, achieving an absolute retention rating of 99.9% (BETA 5000). This multilayer design provides an incredibly high dirt-holding capacity, significantly extending the time between bag changes.

PROGAF filter bags provide BETA 5000 retention efficiencies with a high performance, multilayer design that rivals the performance of filter cartridges.  PROGAF filter bags are manufactured from melt-blown polypropylene and have a special layered "step" crush seal style filter bag to eliminate particle bypass in support of 1 micron particle retention with 99.9%.  This equates to a  BETA 5000 ratio or retention of 4999 of 5000 one micron sized test particles during laboratory testing.  The ultra pure polypropylene filaments used in the construction of PROGAF filter bags are silicon free and subject to rigorous ISO 9001:2015 quality control procedures to ensure performance.  PROGAF filter bags are hydrophobic and are in compliance with the FDA requirements according to title 21, Section 177 and the EC Directives 1935/2004 and 2002/72/EC for contact with food and beverages.  All layers of PROGAF filter bags terminate to a common welded seam.

 

The sealing ring is referred to as a STEP-RING and its multiple step design corresponds with the multiple layer design of PROGAF filter bags, which have as many as 12 layers.  The seal of a crush seal design filter bag improves with an increase in differential pressure.  The filter bag seal is made from polypropylene and each filter bag layer is welded to the sealing ring.  The integrally molded handles simplify removal from the filter housing.

Available in the universal #2 size, PROGAF™ bags are ideal for critical processes in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and fine chemical industries. The 100% polypropylene construction ensures broad chemical compatibility and meets FDA requirements for food contact.
