Filter Bags, Socks and Sleeves

How to choose the correct dust collector sock (filter bag) for your system is a large and complex equation, at Canterbury Filter Services we believe it is important to understand your process before making any recommendations on what felts to use. We will not supply fabric that is “close” to what you should be using, but what is actually required to best suit your system.  So hence we have put forward a list of things we have to consider.
