Product Overview
Our polyester and polypropylene X-TRA Life materials utilize a proprietary fiber blend configuration to create a media that is heavier, thicker and stronger than standard felted media. This formulation delivers enhanced efficiencies, without increasing initial differential pressure.
Both the POXL and PEXL bags are ideal for removing gels, irregular shaped particles in liquid streams with a wide particle size distribution. X-TRA Life filter bags are available in designs that comply with both FDA and EC requirements for food and beverage contact.
POXL and PEXL bags are available with Sure-Weld technology. Our proprietary "Tri-Seal" P-flange provides a distinct advantage compared to conventional sewn filter bag with metal snap rings or industry standard poly flanges. Using state-of-the-art welding technology specifically designed to bond needle punched textile fabrics, we are able to offer the strongest most reliable welded filter bags on the market.
Our Sure-Weld filters come with the security of an overlap side seam, which eliminates the "bump" that occurs with conventional sewn snap ring filters. By welding to a "Tri-Seal" P-flange our fully welded filter bags offer unparalelled seal security, which delivers superior filtrate consistancy.
Features & Benefits
Field tests are verifying that our POXL and PEXL filters last an average of 2 to 4 times longer than conventional bags
Reduced operating costs due to fewer bag changeouts
Reduced labor costs associated with fewer bag changes
Reduced disposal cost
Increased productivity due to staying online longer between changeouts
Thermally treated fabric finish which virtually eliminates the possibility of fiber migration
Fully welded construction utilizing our Sure-Weld technology is standard on POXL bags
