Luft Filter Products

Luft Filter delivers consistent, reliable, and high performance even under demanding process conditions.

Luft Pleat: Compact Design, Maximum Filtration

Luft Pleat is an efficient and cost-effective filtration solution that significantly increases the filter surface area compared to conventional bag systems. Thanks to its pleated design, it offers 50% to 150% more filtration surface than traditional bags of the same diameter and length. This enhances dust collection system capacity while reducing energy consumption and maintenance frequency.

Luft Pleat can be directly adapted to existing systems without any body modifications. Its specially designed bag mouth allows for easy installation into standard cell plate openings.

Advantages and Features

Greater Filtration Area, Higher Capacity

Pleated filter bags increase the total filtration surface without requiring any structural modifications to the existing system. This allows for higher air volume handling and improved dust collection efficiency.

High Efficiency for Ultra-Fine Dust

Thanks to their large surface area and superior fine dust retention, Luft Pleat filters effectively capture submicron particles such as PM2.5 and PM10 — resulting in visibly reduced emissions.

Low Energy Consumption

The larger filtration area provides lower differential pressure, enabling fans and pulse-jet systems to operate less frequently. The result: reduced energy demand and lower compressed air consumption.

Extended Service Life

Luft Pleat bags eliminate the lateral stress risks associated with traditional cage-supported systems. Combined with lower pressure and reduced cleaning frequency, this significantly minimizes wear and extends filter life.

Compact System Design

In new installations, using Luft Pleat allows for a more compact design of the filter housing and pulse system. This leads to lower initial investment, optimized space utilization, and reduced operating costs.

Suitable Filter Media

Luft Pleat filter bags are manufactured from high-efficiency fabrics specially selected according to your process conditions. Various weights and constructions are available in the following fiber types:

  • Polyester

  • PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide)

  • Aramid (Nomex®)

  • Polyimide (P84®)

  • Acrylic

  • Polypropylene

Production can be tailored in both needlefelt and woven forms, with different diameters, deniers, and cross-sectional configurations.

Applications

  • Aluminum smelting plants

  • Metallurgy and foundries

  • Compact and high-capacity new filtration systems

  • Retrofit solutions for modernization projects

Special Cage Requirements

Luft Pleat filter bags require specially designed support cages to ensure the pleated structure maintains its integrity and performs optimally. These cages prevent mechanical damage to the pleats while supporting the filter shape throughout operation.

All compatible cages and connection components are also supplied directly by Luft Filtre to guarantee full system compatibility.
