650 PLATINUM BAGS

HIGH PERFORMANCE

The Cost Effective Approach to Quality Filtration

FTC introduces its new 650 PLATINUM Series, absolute rated, pleated bag. With 99.98% removal efficiency, it is available in filtration ranges from 0.5 to 70 microns. This unique design, U.S. Patent No. 5824232, uses segregated flow channels and flow chambers to provide up to 59 sq. ft. of effective filter media surface area within the space constraints of a standard basket. Combining this design with the technique of pleating several different filter media together in a single pleat pack maximizes dirt holding capacity. The 650 PLATINUM High Performance bag is designed to seal inside existing bag housings without equipment modification. It is available in different filter media to meet industry standards and chemical compatibility. With a recommended maximum flow rate of 50 GPM and 35 PSID, this 650 PLATINUM Series filter bag is the solution to achieving optimum performance while minimizing filtration costs.

The Beta ratio () at a given particle size can be correlated to the filter efficiency at that particle size according to the following formula:

Filter Efficiency (%) = [(-1)/]x100%

Each filter element will have a different Beta Ratio for every specified particle size. The determination of a variety of Beta values for the same filter provides a filter efficiency profile commonly referred to as a Beta Curve.
