PROGAF Filter Bags are available in efficiency codes of 50, 51 and 55. To select theperfect PROGAF Filter Bag for your application, choose the micron retention efficiencylevel you need on the left side of the chart at particle size in microns at the bottom.Next, locate the bag efficiency code (identified by the colored lines) that is closest to that point. There you have it: the most cost effective filter bag for your critical filtration application.

Some Typical PROGAF™ ApplicationsAll materials used in the construction of PROGAF FilterBags, including the multilayer melt-blown polypropylenemedia, are FDA/EC listed materials that meet theirrequirements for food contact applications. But food orbeverages are not the only applications that can takeadvantage of PROGAF’s high filtration efficiencies and capacity retention. The pharmaceutical, micro-electronics, chemical, food, ink and paint, and watertreatment industries can also use PROGAF High Performance Filter Bags.

Chemical and Pharmaceutical IndustriesDemanding filtration in high-purity industries are theapplications PROGAF was made for. Media capable ofremoval to 2 μm absolute with long service life is essen-tial for activated carbon removal or catalyst recovery. Gelremoval requires a deep matrix of fine fibers. A PROGAFbag is ideally suited for each of these applications.Available in three filtration ratings, one of the PROGAFbags will deliver just the needed performance.

Water FiltrationWater filtration applications have traditionally been dominated by cartridge filtration. Following extensiveworldwide trials, PROGAF 51 has demonstrated a log 3.5reduction of impurities in these demanding applications.

Micro-ElectronicsThese applications typically require chemicals that areconstantly filtered to extremely low levels of particle contaminant. PROGAF’s special profile, with its high efficiency media and graded density structure, providesperformance characteristics superior to that of traditionalcartridge type filtration. PROGAF out-performs cartridgesin terms of dirt-holding capacity, service life, and cost.Membrane prefiltration significantly reduces the SDI values in water filtration.

the life, illustrating the effectiveness of the progressivelystructured media.

OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONSBag PositionerTo ensure proper performance, PROGAF Filter Bags mustbe used with the Eaton Bag Positioner. Using themtogether aids bag insertion into the filter vessel andassures correct alignment of the bag inside the restrainerbasket, prevents the bag from being pushed out of therestrainer basket in case of reverse flow, and makes bagremoval easier.

Pre-Wetting in Aqueous SolutionsPROGAF filter bags are fabricated from fine polypropy-lene filtration media. This material is hydrophobic, whichmeans that water will not wet the surface of the fibers.Therefore, a fluid with lower surface tension must first beused to wet the fibers, as well as cartridge filters madefrom this material. Prior to installation, you must firstimmerse the bags for a few minutes in a wetting solutioncompatible with the process fluid. After the fibers are wet,water is drawn in by capillary action. Full details abouthow to install and pre-wet PROGAF Filter Bags are provided in the installation instructions.

OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

Bag PositionerACCUGAF filter bags must be used with the Eaton bag positioner. This eases insertion and assures correctalignment of the filter bag inside the restrainer basket. Inaddition, the filter bag will be protected against damageto inadvertent back-flow.

Pre-Wetting in Aqueous SolutionsACCUGAF polypropylene filter bags are fabricated frommicrofiber filtration media. These materials are hydro-phobic, indicating that water will not wet the fiber sur-faces. As will all other fine polypropylene filters, a lowersurface tension fluid (wetting agent) must be used to wetthe media prior to introducing water. Prior to service, thefilter bags must be immersed in a wetting solutioncompatible with the process fluid. After wetting, an aqueousfluid will be drawn into the media through capillary action.Full details about installation and wetting are providedwith every box of ACCUGAF filter bags.

ACCUGAF Filter Bags, are available in retention codes of 51, 53, 55, 57, and 59.To select the perfect ACCUGAF Filter Bag for your application use the chart andchoose the retention efficiency level you need on the left side of the chart at particle size in microns at the bottom. Next find which bag efficiency code (identified by the colored lines) is closest to that point. There you have it, themost cost effective filter bag for your critical filtration application.

ABSOLUTE

Among the many applications for LOFCLEAR Series 500 Filter Bags are oils, slurries, dilute oil removal, re-circulatingbatch systems, and systems with heavy contamination.

OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONSBag PositionerLOFCLEAR Series 500 filter bags must be used with the Eaton bag positioner. This eases insertion and assurescorrect alignment of the filter bag inside the restrainer basket. In addition, the filter bag will be protected against damageto inadvertent back-flow.

Extended Life Filter Bags Can Improve Your Filtration Process and Save You Money

DURAGAF™ for High Performance Extended Life Filter Bags Designed to Save You MoneyDURAGAF filter bags represent the state-of-the-art inneedled felt bag filter media. Their unique structure deliv-ers equal filtration performance with lifetimes 2-5 timeslonger than ordinary felt media. The result is reducedoperating costs due lower bag consumption, downtime,change-out labor, storage and disposal.

Why DURAGAF Filter Bags Last LongerDURAGAF filter bags are available in two extended lifematerials: polypropylene (code POXL) or polyester (codePEXL). These two materials utilize a fiber blend with afiner fiber diameter and a higher weight than ordinarymedia. The result is a dramatically higher dirt holdingcapacity at the same efficiency and differential pressure.Processes run longer and need fewer bag changes withDURAGAF filter bags.

All-Welded Construction for SuperiorPerformanceAll DURAGAF filter bags feature 100% welded fabricationand the Eaton SENTINEL seal. This construction eliminates the bypass which can occur in standard sewnfilter bags. Eaton proprietary welding technology produces a super-strong seam that will stand up to eventhe most demanding applications without failure.

DURAGAF Filter Bags Seal Betterin Critical ApplicationsThe patented SENTINEL seal is standard on all DURAGAFfilter bags. The unique, pressure-actuated ring actuallyimproves its seal as differential pressure increases.

No Downstream Fiber ContaminationAll DURAGAF filter bags are manufactured with a propri-etary downstream surface treatment to prevent fibermigration. A special finish is obtained by glazing the sur-face, melting fibers together to form a tight, secure down-stream matrix. In addition, the weld seams are heat bond-ed to eliminate loose fibers which might result during fab-rication.

Food and Beverage ApplicationsDURAGAF filter bags are available in models (POXLF,PEXLF) which are compliant with FDA and EC require-ments for food contact.

CLEARGAF is the series of filter bags specificallydesigned for the requirements of the food, beverage andpharmaceutical industries. Comprised of several filterstyles, CLEARGAF delivers:

- FDA compliant materials per 21CFR177 - EC compliant per 2002/72/EC- Independent testing and certification- Special single packaging and warehouse control

CLEARGAF™ Filter Bags for Direct Contact with FoodstuffsFilter Bags are widely used for the filtration of fluids thatare directly or indirectly used as foodstuffs. In most appli-cations, these types of filters must be carefully selectedto ensure that foodstuffs are not contaminated from theiruse. Most materials used to manufacture disposable fil-ters, including bag filters and cartridge filters, are poly-mers, which are generally selected for their purity in theapplication. Many of these materials, however, containmaterials that can diffuse out of the plastic into theprocess fluid. This effect, known as migration, can lead tofoodstuff contamination. For this reason, the use of poly-mers is often limited to products such as CLEARGAFFilter Bags, which are made from materials that havebeen documented as safe in food applications. CLEARGAF Filter Bags conform to both US FDA andEuropean EC regulations. The difference between theFDA and EC regulations is one of degree. FDA regulation

limits on migration are proportional to weight. EC limits,however, are based on area, and must be demonstratedin tests on finished articles. For heavy material, the EClimits can be up to 50 times more restrictive than the FDA ones.

Independent VerificationYou can be sure all CLEARGAF Filter Bags meet theserequirements, because they have been evaluated, testedand certified for EC migration performance by an independent food research institute. CLEARGAF FilterBags are also made from materials listed in the US Codeof Federal Regulations Title 21 Part 177. No other mate-rials are added during fabrication.

Special Manufacturing and PackagingCLEARGAF Filter Bags are manufactured under specialconditions to ensure that they contain no contamination.Immediately after manufacture, each bag is individuallysealed in protective plastic packaging to keep them contamination-free. Eaton has special warehousing facilities for CLEARGAF Filter Bags to further protectthem during storage. No other manufacturer goes tothese lengths to ensure the quality of their food grade filter bags. For less demanding food and beverage applications, Eaton offers a line of cost effective filter bags that are appropriate for many applications.

Now, applications requiring polypropylene or polyesterfelt filter bags can take advantage of the all-welded con-struction afforded by Eaton patented SENTINEL®

Filter Bags. These bags feature super-strong welded construction rather than sewn seams. This constructionensures that nothing bypasses the process mediathrough holes in sewn fabric.

Welded Construction Filter BagsSENTINEL filter bags from Eaton represent the industrystandard in bypass-free filter construction. Available inpolyester and polypropylene materials, all SENTINEL filterbags feature:

• SENTINEL Pressure Actuated Seal Ring• Super Strong Welded Construction• Special surface finish prevents fiber release

Proprietary ConstructionEatons’s proprietary construction processes produce a reliable, durable filter bag. All seams are fully welded,producing strong, reliable joints with no by-pass or loosesewing thread. Seams are both strong and flexible, allow-ing the filter bag to form to the restrainer basket. The seamedges are heat sealed, eliminating possible loose fibers.This results in a filter bag with durable performance for themost demanding applications.

SENTINEL® Seal RingAll Eaton SENTINEL filter bags utilize the patented SENTINEL seal. Its all-plastic construction provides a flexible, chemically resistant seal which adapts to any filtervessel. This unique design employs a pressure activatedsealing lip which responds to increases in differentialpressure. As the pressure increases, the seal of the ringimproves, insuring by-pass free performance over allranges of pressure, temperature and micron rating. Theelevated bag handles make removal of the bag from thevessel quick and easy. When a SENTINEL filter bag isinstalled into a Eaton filter vessel, the ring snaps intoplace, holding its position until the vessel is closed.

23 HAYFLOW™

HAYFLOW ™– The Next Generation of Filtration SystemsWith this new, patent pending filter element Eaton technology has combined the best of both bag andcartridge filters into one single filtration element foroutstanding filtration performance. Because HAYFLOW’ssurface area is up to 65% greater than a similar size filterbag, existing systems that use HAYFLOW experiencelonger filter element life and less changing, resulting inreduced running costs. With HAYFLOW, designers ofnew bag filtration systems can opt for reduced runningcosts or, because of the high flow rates possible withHAYFLOW, reduce filter vessel size by up to 50% thuslowering the initial cost of the system.

What Makes the HAYFLOW™ Element BetterThe heart of Eaton’s HAYFLOW filter element is two concentric cylinders of high-quality extended life Eatonfilter media. These cylinders are formed using uniquewelding technology to create a no by-pass seam. Thediameter of the cylinder is the same size as a standardfilter bag, so retrofitting into existing systems is easy. TheHAYFLOW element is fitted with Eaton’s patented SENTINEL® sealing ring, ensuring a positive seal with thefilter vessel to protect against bypass of the process media.

How the HAYFLOW™ Element WorksThe process fluid enters the inside of the element, passesthrough it, and exits through the vessel outlet. Like a filterbag, the filtered-out material stays inside the HAYFLOWelement. The HAYFLOW element is unlike a filtercartridge, where the residue of the filtered materialremains on the outside of the cartridge, complicating thechanging process.

An All-Around Better ChoiceChanging a HAYFLOW filter element can actually be easierthan changing a filter bag, because HAYFLOW’s revolutionarydesign only retains 25% of the residual liquid volume of asimilarly sized filter bag. When you need to change theelement, it weighs up to 75% less than a filter bag. A fullbag can weigh up to 15 kg, so weight is an important

Eaton’s Revolutionary New Filter Element

consideration for the system operator. HAYFLOW’scylindrical construction offers strength unrivaled in othersimilar products. The all welded filter element is fit to amatching restrainer basket, allowing the filtration media tobe replaced easily and quickly. The close-tolerance fit of thefilter and the restrainer basket provide ease of installationand worry-free performance. This combination of fully-welded seams and a rigid, cylindrical geometry providesstrength over a full range of operating differential pressure. The HAYFLOW element is always smooth and fits to thebasket walls without crimps or pleats, guaranteeing a quickand easy installation. Batch system operators often do notwant to stop a batch process and change a filter bag. UsingHAYFLOW, system operators have found up to 5 times thelife over a similar size filter bag and experienced reducedoperating costs.

Usually, bag filters are bigger than cartridge filters butare easier to handle and more cost effective. HAYFLOWbrings the best of both systems together...high flow ratesin compact vessels, or a longer lifetime and extendedchanging cycles. HAYFLOW combines highly efficient filter media, enlarged surface area, better dirt-holdingcapabilities and a reduction of the residual liquid volumeretained in the element. All of these advantages result insuperior filtration performance.

The Choice is YoursEaton’s HAYFLOW filter element

can be adapted to a wide range ofapplications through the use of

different filter media. Basically, any weldable filtration media can be used to

construct a HAYFLOW element. Multilayeredconstruction is also possible for applications that

require it. Using melt-blown polypropylene media,HAYFLOW elements are available with high micron retentionratings, and with selective absorption characteristics as well.Standard HAYFLOW filter elements are available in bothpolypropylene and polyester construction. These twomaterials are very versatile and will perform in a majorityof applications over a wide range of temperatures. Eaton uses a high-quality, extended life DURAGAF™

needlefelt media with extremely fine fibers and higher porevolumes for superior performance. Both feature eitherpolypropylene or polyester SENTINEL sealing rings.
