Standard Filter Bags
Allied Filter Systems Ltd manufactures high quality liquid filter bags to fit standard size filter vessels, as well as custom designed products where requested. The constituent materials have been chosen for their purity, consistent high quality and repeatable performance. Filter bags are available in traditional stitched form or with a fully welded construction, and are fitted with a comprehensive choice of rings.
- 7” or 4” galvanised Steel rings (or stainless steel) which fit universally into all filter housings. Polypropylene rings and stainless steel bands are also available.
- Custom designed moulded Welseal (polypropylene or polyester) welded rings, giving more positive sealing, needle hole elimination and lifting handles for faster and easier bag installation and replacement. A Welseal ring product is fully combustible.
- Custom designed positive sealing Santaseal moulded ring, for applications where high temperature or chemical resistance properties are required.

Allipure Series – High Efficiency Filter Bags
Allied Filter Systems Ltd has developed the Allipure series, a unique range of absolute rated filter bags rated from 5 to 0.6 micron, which perform to an efficiency of 99.98% (Beta 5000) at the stated micron rating. For processes requiring absolute and/or sub micron liquid process filtration, the use of filter cartridges has previously been the method of choice to achieve high performance in critical applications with consumable filter elements.

Extended Life Filter Bags
Increased thickness of the filter media compared to that of the equivalent standard felt filter bag enables an increased retention of particles. In addition, the extended life filter media has a graded density structure i.e. progressively smaller particles are captured as the fluid follows a tortuous path through the media, stopping the filter bag from blinding prematurely. The result is a filter media with a higher dirt holding capacity, leading to increased filter bag lifetime.
