Reduce Operating Costs with Eaton DURAGAF™ Extended-Life Filter Bags
In industrial filtration, the frequency of filter change-outs directly impacts your bottom line. Frequent maintenance increases labor costs, production downtime, and waste disposal fees. Purecowater provides the Eaton DURAGAF™ filter bag, a high-performance solution designed to last significantly longer than standard needle felt bags.
Whether you are filtering automotive coatings, process water, or food and beverage products, the DURAGAF™ series offers superior dirt-holding capacity and filtration efficiency. As a distributor/OEM for major filtration brands including Veolia and Fil-trek, Purecowater can help you integrate these advanced filter bags into your existing liquid filtration systems.
What Makes DURAGAF™ Different?
Standard needle felt filter bags are effective, but DURAGAF™ bags are engineered for extended service life. Utilizing a unique manufacturing process, Eaton creates a needle felt media with smaller diameter fibers and increased thickness. This results in a highly porous structure that can trap substantially more particulate matter without causing a rapid increase in differential pressure.
Key Performance Benefits:
- Extended Lifetime: Lasts 2 to 5 times longer than standard felt bags.
- High Capacity: Increased filter material thickness facilitates better gel removal and dirt retention.
- Zero Bypass: All DURAGAF™ bags utilize fully welded seams (no needle holes) and the pressure-activated SENTINEL® seal ring to ensure 100% bypass-free filtration.
- Cost Efficiency: Reduced bag consumption means lower purchasing costs, less labor for change-outs, and reduced disposal volume.
