Data Sheet: GORE^® LOW DRAG Filter Bags 3170, Fiberglass Fabric, 339 g / m² (10 oz / yd²)

This long lasting, acid-resistant fiberglass fabric filter bag is the latest technology for reverse air style dust collectors, enabling operation in high temperature environments (260 °C, 500 °F). It comes with our new GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bag which has inherently less resistance to airflow and therefore provides a variety of benefits.

GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bag can be operated at a lower differential pressure (dP), resulting in fan energy savings, longer bag life and improved process control. Some customers choose to operate at a higher airflow (same dP) resulting in potential increases in production capacity or more effective evacuation. In all cases, this membrane provides excellent particulate capture efficiency, dust cake release and filtration performance.

• The acid-resistant backing material offers enhanced flex life and chemical resistance, resulting in long bag performance life.
• Optimized filter bag design brings the best properties of the filter materials together into a finished product where the strength of the design matches and enhances the durability of the components.
