Advantages and Differences between Bag Filters and Basket Filters

Bag filters and basket filters are both commonly used water treatment filtration equipment. In practical applications, choosing which filter is more suitable is a common problem. Today we will analyze the characteristics and differences between bag filters and basket filters, so that everyone can choose between these two types of filters with ease in the future.

What is a bag filter?

The stainless steel bag filter is a professional liquid filtration equipment that can effectively remove particles of different sizes in the liquid, thereby achieving the purpose of liquid filtration, purification, separation, and recovery.

The bag filter mainly consists of three parts: filter container, support basket and filter bag. Stainless steel bag filters are divided into No. 1, 2, 3 and 4 bag filters according to the size of the filter bag. According to the number of bags in the filter, it is divided into single-bag type, double-bag type and multi-bag type; according to the direction of liquid inlet and outlet, it is divided into side-in and bottom-out type and bottom-in and bottom-out type. The filter material is high-quality stainless steel.

What is a basket filter?

Basket filters are used on oil or other liquid pipelines to filter debris in the pipelines. The filter hole area is 2-3 times larger than the diameter pipe area, far exceeding the filtration area of Y-type and T-type filters. The basket filter is mainly composed of pipes, main pipes, fasteners and other parts. The basket filter was developed to filter small particles of solid impurities contained in the medium. The basket filter has the best precision among filters. The filter structure is different from other filters. Because it is shaped like a basket, it is called a basket filter.

Advantages of bag filters:

1. Based on the working principle and structure of the bag filter system, it is convenient and quick to replace the filter bag, and the filter does not need to be cleaned, saving labor and time.

2. Bag filter has a wide range of applications, flexible use and various installation methods.

3. The filter bag can be used repeatedly after cleaning, saving costs.

4. Bag filter has large processing capacity, small volume and large dirt holding capacity.

5. The filter bag has a small chance of side leakage, effectively ensuring the filtration quality.

6. The filtration accuracy of filter bags continues to improve, currently reaching 0.5μm.

7. Bag filter can carry greater working pressure, has small pressure loss, low operating costs and obvious energy saving effect.

Advantages of Basket filter:

1. It is small in size and easy to operate. Due to its simple structure and easy disassembly, it is also very convenient for maintenance and repair, making the company's production smooth.

2. Basket filters currently commonly used in enterprise production can be divided into air filters, liquid filters, network filters, and pipeline filters according to their industry uses.

3. The structure is simple and easy to use. In terms of shape, it can be divided into single-cylinder compound filters, single-cylinder high and low filters, and double filters.

The similarities between bag filters and basket filters:

The two filters have the same purpose of preliminary filtration and interception of solid particle impurities. No matter what kind of filter it is, its performance is consistent, and the specific selection is customized according to customer needs.

The difference between bag filter and basket filter:

1. Bag filters use filter bags to intercept impurities, while basket filters use mesh blue to intercept impurities.

2. The filter bag can perform more precise filtration, while the basket filter can perform coarse filtration.

3. Compared with the mesh basket, the replacement cost of the filter bag is relatively high, while the mesh basket can be cleaned and used repeatedly.

In comparison, both filters have their own advantages, so it is recommended to customize them according to different working conditions and needs when selecting. The best one is the one that suits the company best.
