Polyester / PET Needle Punched Felt Filter Bag
Polyester needle punched felt filter bags from LYH fit cement plants, woodworking lines, metal grinding, food processing, and general industrial dust collection. Buyers choose polyester filter bags when they need reliable filtration efficiency, stable dimensions, strong abrasion resistance, and cost-effective service life under continuous operation up to 135 °C.
We supply polyester / PET needle felt filter bags from China with custom size discussion, surface treatment options (singeing, glazing, PTFE membrane, anti-static, water & oil repellent), and project-based packing support. If your project requires a specific bag diameter, length, top/bottom construction, or emission target, we can review the RFQ and match the supply to your dust collector.

Material Properties
Excellent Mechanical Strength & Abrasion Resistance — High-tenacity PET fibers withstand high pulse-cleaning frequencies and high air-to-cloth ratios without tearing or fiber migration.
Outstanding Dimensional Stability — Heat-set during manufacturing; the felt holds its shape on the cage and maintains stable filtration area throughout service life.
Good Chemical Resistance — Resistant to most mineral acids, organic acids, and weak alkalis at ambient temperature; not recommended for high-concentration nitric / sulfuric acid or strong alkalis at elevated temperatures.
Low Moisture Absorption — 0.4% regain ensures stable airflow and minimal caking in mildly humid environments.
Cost-Effective General-Purpose Solution — The best price-performance ratio of any baghouse filter media; the default choice for ambient and moderate-temperature applications.
Available Surface Treatments
| Treatment | Function | Recommended For |
|---|---|---|
| Singeing (SIPE) | Removes loose surface fibers via flame; improves cake release | Standard dry dust |
| Calendering / Glazing (GLPE) | Heated rollers densify the surface; enhances surface filtration | Fine-particle capture |
| Heat Setting | Stabilizes felt dimensions, eliminates residual shrinkage | All applications |
| PTFE Membrane Lamination | Microporous ePTFE membrane laminated on dust side; emissions ≤ 5 mg/Nm³ | Ultra-low emission compliance |
| Water & Oil Repellent (WO) | PTFE-based bath finish; repels moisture and oil | Humid, oily, sticky dust |
| Anti-Static | Conductive carbon fiber or stainless-steel filament; surface resistance 10³–10⁸ Ω·cm | Combustible / explosive dust |
| Flame Retardant (FR) | FR fiber or finishing; reduces ignition risk | Woodworking, welding, metal grinding |

FAQ
Q1: What is the maximum operating temperature of polyester filter bags? 135 °C (275 °F) continuous, 150 °C short-term peak. For sustained operation above 135 °C, consider PPS, P84, aramid (Nomex), or fiberglass.
Q2: Are polyester filter bags suitable for humid gas streams? Moderately — polyester is subject to hydrolytic degradation under combined high temperature and humidity. For consistently humid streams, choose acrylic or PPS, or specify polyester with a water & oil repellent finish.
Q3: Can polyester filter bags be used for combustible dust? Yes, with anti-static treatment specified. For high ignition risk (woodworking, metal grinding, fireworks), additionally specify a flame-retardant finish.
Q4: What treatment should I choose for ultra-low emission compliance (≤ 10 mg/Nm³)? A PTFE-membrane laminated polyester filter bag — emissions ≤ 5 mg/Nm³, longer bag life, lower differential pressure.
Q5: What information do I need to provide for a quote? (1) bag dimensions, (2) top/bottom construction, (3) operating temperature & humidity, (4) dust type & concentration, (5) chemical/corrosive components, (6) emission requirement, (7) quantity. A drawing or sample bag is even better.
