- Filter bags with Tie cord
- Special ring types and sizes e.g. “X100” 5.5” polypropylene moulded collar
- ‘Bucket’ style bags with circular base
- Square/ rectangular bags
- ‘Box-type’ bags
- Cylindrical filter sleeves

For demanding applications which require modifications to a standard filter bag product, customisation options include :
- Reinforced seams
- Special lifting handles
- Reverse collar construction
- Filter media with micron ratings other than standard.

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.

Sewn Needlefelt Filter Bags
Needlefelts are a versatile and cost effective media providing a high solid holding capacity for both non-deformable and deformable, gelatinous particles. By means of a depth filtration mechanism, particles penetrate and are captured throughout the depth of the filter media.

Fully Welded Filter Bags
All seams are welded rather than sewn, and combined with our positive sealing moulded Welseal (polypropylene or polyester) welded ring, no process liquid can bypass through needleholes caused by the sewing process or around a traditional metal ring. The Welseal ring forms a 360o hermetic seal between the filter bag and housing, ensuring that fully welded filter bags perform to a higher efficiency than a sewn equivalent.
