Improved Bag Design from the Leader in Liquid
Filtration
CUNO offers a line of Size #1 and #2 felt filter bags in
grades ranging from 1 to 200 µm in various
collar/media configurations (see ordering guide) with
the following important features:
Predictable Removal Efficiencies – Through
controlled media specifications and advanced
manufacturing processes.
Media Migration Control – Through thermal
treatment of the exterior surface of the filter media
and the use of state-of-the-art procedures to properly
weld the media seams and the media to the collar.
Proper Sealing – All CUNO felt filter bags come
standard with a specially designed plastic collar for
proper sealing of the Series NB bags in conventional
bag housings. This design feature is important as
improper sealing can result in fluid bypass and
contamination of the downstream fluid. Utilizing the
latest technology, the bag filter media is welded to the
collar preventing problems
associated with stitched
collars. The collar includes
a ergonomically designed
handle to allow for easy
removal of the bag filter.
For ease of identification
and traceability, the handles
include an engraved tab
providing micron grade and
manufacturing lot information.
CUNO’s sales support teams are dedicated to
working with you to identify the optimum liquid filter
product for your application. With CUNO’s complete
line of filter product solutions, you can be sure that
you are getting the best filter solution for your
application. For new installations, CUNO offers a full
line of bag filter housings, contact your local CUNO
sales representative for more details.
