Nomex filter bags, also known as Aramid filter bags, are known for their excellent thermal resistance, mechanical strength and chemical stability. They are commonly used in industrial applications where high temperatures and abrasive dust are present. These properties make them suitable for a variety of demanding industrial applications. Because of their resistance to high temperatures and chemicals, Nomex filter bags last longer than other filter media.

  • High temperature resistant.
  • Resists flexing and abrasion.
  • Effect of moisture.
  • Chemical resistance.
  • Dimensional stability.
  • Flame resistance.

Asphalt filter bags

Properties of Nomex Filter Bags

  • Heat Resistance

Nomex filter bags can withstand continuous operating temperatures up to 200°C (392°F) and short-term peaks up to 250°C (482°F).

  • Chemical Resistance

They offer good resistance to acids and alkalis, making them suitable for use in environments with harsh chemicals.

  • Mechanical Strength

Nomex fibers provide excellent mechanical strength, ensuring durability and a longer service life.

  • Abrasion Resistance

The inherent abrasion resistance of Nomex fibers helps the bags withstand the rigors of dust collection processes.

Technical Advantages in Manufacturing Nomex Filter Bags in Filmedia®

  • The base fabric of the aramid needle felt filter bag is made of high-quality, high-strength aramid long fibers to ensure that the filter bag has sufficient mechanical strength. It is pretreated and heat-set to form an aramid base fabric with stable size and performance.
  • The manufacturing process for Nomex filter bags involves a series of carefully controlled steps to ensure the final product meets the stringent requirements for industrial filtration applications. From the production of Nomex fibers to the cutting, sewing, and finishing of the filter bags, each step is designed to produce durable, high-performance filter bags capable of withstanding high temperatures and harsh chemical environments.


Processing Detail of Nomex Filter Bags

  • Seam Design

Double-stitched seams using high-temperature resistant threads.

  • Top and Bottom Configurations

Available in various designs, including snap band, ring top, and flange top for easy installation and secure fitting.

  • Support Rings

Integrated support rings or other reinforcement structures to maintain bag shape and ensure optimal airflow.

  • Ground Wire

Optional grounding wire to prevent static build-up in certain applications.

  • Finish Treatment

Application of Nomex Filter Bags

  • Cement Kilns and Clinker Coolers

Handling high-temperature and abrasive dust.

  • Steel Plants

Used in electric arc furnaces and other high-temperature applications.

  • Power Plants

Effective in fly ash collection and flue gas desulfurization units.

  • Asphalt Production

Suitable for hot mix asphalt production dust collection.

  • Chemical Processing

Employed in environments with corrosive chemicals and high temperatures.


We Pay Attention to Every Processing Detail:

  • Accurately design the size of the filter cloth required for the filter bag. The filter cloth will be larger than the actual design size to leave enough operating space.
  • Choose the right filter bag accessories and check their quality.
  • We draw, cut and sew the filter bags on an automatic production line. When the filter bag needs to be processed manually, we open it on the operating platform and use a certain pulling force to keep it flat.
  • We maintain strict processing quality standards in accordance with design drawings and operating procedures. Our workers dress in compliance with safe construction requirements and are prohibited from smoking.
